Im 3 days post op and i still haven't passed gas. Dr isn't too worried about it but the gas pains are wearing me out! Any suggestions? I walk once an hour around the hospital and still nothing. :(

Redo

can you lay on your left side at all. if you can lay on your left side with left leg straight and right leg bent, that has helped me in past operations. A forever ago maternity nurse told me that trick, after a c-section and it has served me well...Old Broad new what she was talking about. lol

Today is crazy! I went ahead and worked today because I am going to miss my students so much!! I drank the magnesium citrate stuff and am playing the waiting game now. I think today everything set in a little more. I am nervous about everything becoming really real tomorrow. I am praying for you and everyone else that surgery and recovery goes well. I will definitely keep in touch and am so excited about all of this!!

Yes! I'm not really nervous anymore. It's weird. But I'm sure that'll all change tomorrow am! I will be praying for us tomorrow and for everyone else going thru this as well and I'll update when I can. I go in tomorrow at 10am.

3 days postop and tried baby food today and it went well. I am already on a soft diet after doing the 2 week liquid diet prior per my doctor. I am afraid to try other things on the list like cottage cheese, but I am on the soft diet for 2 weeks so I have time. Strange how I can only eat 1/2 of the baby food container and not be hungry. The liquid diet was torture I was so hungry, so now it is nice that I am not. i have to remind myself to eat most of the time. How are all my fellow postop people doing?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
