I'm 5 days out from revision band to bypass surgery. My back and shoulders are still in way more pain than my stomach. I wasn't hungry till I got home' date=' and now everything I see I want to eat. Still in clear liquid hell for one more week. please tell me the hunger and back pain will get better! :([/quote']

It will I promise! I'm 11 days out and almost completely free of pain. A little soreness and swelling on my belly but totally manageable without meds. The liquids suck but remind yourself there's a new stage of foods coming soon and perhaps buy an item or two from the things you'll get to eat in the next stage so you have it to look forward to. If you have to, retreat from the bad foods and take a nap-works for me. :)

The January losers bench is really getting long!! I love it and don't mind scooching over to make room for you all. :)

You'll all be so happy when you start to see the changes. I came home weighing 6lbs more than when I went in (fluid and gas) but 8 days out I had lost that and 5 additional lbs.

I'm a week 1/2 out and feel great. Still challenged physically and mentally at times, but doing much better each day. ;)

Nope, hunger's there. VSG eliminates the hormone producing hunger apparently (for some) but RNY doesn't!

I did one last pig out two days before starting my preop diet. I am glad that I did because I am missing food like crazy now. LOL

You're welcome. I do have to admit it hasn't been easy and there have been a few little bumps. But for the most part I have been blessed. You will do great!

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

      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
