Hi All - keep up the good work. We will make it through this before you know it.

I'm doing much better. I'm working every day to get my Protein & Water. I have successfully weaned myself off the pain med, but I to take anti-nausea med tonight:-( I just read I won't be able to try regular food until 2 months out (June 8th). OMG!

Isn't it amazing! Same here- I'm still on Clear Liquids (although I did scramble a plain egg yesterday to try to get the pipes moving) but I had a friend have the surgery done at the same surgical center (different dr) and they started her on soft foods 2 days after surgery!!

I was on soft foods 2 days after surgery...I just don't know what to eat...and I am so sick of Milk based Protein Drinks. I only got 1 in today....They are starting to make my stomach feel sick!

I like tuna or chicken salad :-) I think canned tuna or chicken is on the soft foods list? Maybe? Great protein sources! As far as protein drinks- I made one today that was pretty good- 4 oz milk- 1 scoop vanilla muscle milk, 1/2 pack of orange crush mix and ice- tasted like an orange push up pop :-)

Did you tell your nurses you're nauseous? The dr can give you something for that. I had a patch for nausea all three days I was in the hospital. It was called a scopolamine patch and worked great. I had zero nausea.

OMG. I grabbed the anesthesia dude by the arm and reminded him again before surgery how sick his wonderful stuff makes me. I was so worried I'd throw up. I had one mouthful of blood...right after I started ice chips. It freaked me out so bad. I didn't get to walk the first night because even with that patch and the shot....I almost threw up. Throwing up with fresh staples was my biggest fear going in.

I AM SO SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU. Are you okay?

Hi all! I just discovered this forum. I had my surgery on 4/2/13 (revision to RNY from a 2003 lap band), and am so happy with how things have been going. I'm on day 3 of soft solids (FINALLY!!!!), and am trying to find a balance between eating enough and finding where full is. It'll take a while; I've been mostly erring on the not-quite-full side for fear of stretching my pouch. About the only big problem I've been having is with sleep. I wake up with pretty bad hip pain of all things (which I never had before, ever), which my docs have attributed to the time I spent on the operating room table. One of my docs had me re-start pain meds just one dose at night, last night, and that helped a LOT, though my sleep cycle remains disrupted. Nothing I can't handle in the grand scheme of things. I'm so excited about this process, and am looking forward to having people to share my journey with. Thanks for being there! :)

      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.
