I am 2 weeks post op today. I am feeling better everyday. I still have some muscle/incision pain around my left rib. At times' date=' it makes it difficult to get out of bed. I am on pureed food and am doing well on getting all my Protein in. I return to work on Monday so my schedule will change. I find it difficult to get all of my Water and protein both in. Feels like I am constantly putting something in my mouth. Timing my Vitamins to keep my Iron away from my Calcium is also a challenge![/quote']

Me too it took me up to three weeks to be able to walk standing straight up! Now I'm exhausted because all the pain I had and stress I didn't sleep well mostly in a recliner. I have difficulty getting all my protein and water in also due to all the do and don't

I learned to take my calcium chew in the am and my vitamins with iron in the pm. Are you tired?

Ugh. I took melt aways and got the sugar overdose. Sweats. Sick. No diarrhea tho. Awful feeling but am having a hard time gagging down lortab. When can we start swallowing pills? I know I was told to take my Biotin gel caps but afraid it will get stuck. Please any insight will help. Friday the 1st will be exactly 7 days post op.

I was taking pills two days after surgery I think it depends on your md and if you have the silastic ring with your bypass .

I am two weeks post op. I have been taking Tylenol pills since day three. The doctor sent me home with Percocet for pain. I had no problems swallowing them.

They gave me this breathing apparatus about midnight on my first night to help keep my lungs clear. I found that breathing into that helped me burp because I was forcing more oxygen in and out. I didn't actually pass gas until I was about to go home, I mostly burped.

I ate a scrambled fresh egg with a slice of cheese melted on it! Well not the whole thing- but over half of it! It was DELISH! I'm on the second stage full liquids, I don't know if an egg is part of the menu but I made it and it was yum and no side effects from it yet! Was a nice change up!

I am 11 days post op. I am still wondering if this is gonna work? Anyone else have that? I have PCOS and nothing ever worked. I really don't want to be disappointed with this. It's a huge change. I've list 10 lb total since surgery and I know that is great I was just hoping to be one of those 40 lb loss in the first month girls ya know.

I had to use gravity to help me move gas. I could only pass if I was laying on my back and relaxed. Now that seems to be ALL I do is pass gas ?! Is this my new stinky life? LoL

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

        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
