That's awful. No education at all? I had to pay 150 for a class before surgery that went over everything!

Is any one else feeling fatigued after what seems like slight exertion. I have had to take a nap everyday. I go to sleep at night at a reasonable hour. I get up at 8 am most mornings. I am 2 weeks post op. I figured by now I would be over taking naps.

I feel the same way I will be 2 weeks post op on Friday.... Somedays a shower kicks my butt! Somedays I can clean and run and do all the normal stuff. Today was a doctor visit and home to nap! Doctor said its normal but they did so some blood work. Hope we wake soon!:)

Well it's my first day back to work. I've been here two hours now and doing pretty well. Kind of tired but overall ok. My coworkers acted like nothing had happened. Didn't ask a single question and they're all well aware of what I was having done. Some people are so rude. One of them keeps talking about her 8 lb weight loss in the last 4 days. I don't acknowledge them when they act like that to me. I went to the Mall of America on Sunday and did really good but we took lots of sitting breaks all day. I'm feeling good. Hope you all are also.

I'm no expert- but I think pickle juice might have too much sodium in it?

Is a straw bad??

Ok now you are getting desperate! Lol I'm not sure but my mind goes a little crazy like that too. I eat apple sauce too. If I get board with it I warm it up and put a splash of cinnamon.

They posted a large sign on my hospital door that said No Caffine, No Sugar, No Straws, & 1 other thing but I can't remember what it was.

      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.
