My doctor has said that 95% of his patients go home the next day... I just get so amazed with the big differences I see on here between doctors!

I wil admit that I'm nervous about having such major surgery and going home very next day!

Just saying hello and was wondering how you were feeling!

I'm good. I've reduced my pain meds to night time only, I'm still having trouble getting my fluids and Protein in, but I have a new plan that I'm trying today! I'm still a little sore in one incision. but I have hope that it will get with the program soon. I haven't had any nausea, which is a godsend. I've been walking twice a day.

According to my surgeon I'm having the "dream recovery".

Sparklette how many days post op are you? I'm on day 6 and still a lot of pain on my abdomen in two spots when I walk or stand. I called the doc today And they said its from cut muscles and will take time. I just thought at 6 days out the pain would be all gone. :(

We had the same surgery date I think. I'm 6 days out also. I have pain at one incision, and It's not so much pain as tightness now. Just keep taking your meds, Walk, even when uncomfortable, and I actually put an ice pack wrapped in a towel on the incision and it helped a little, Then I put a heating pad, and it really helped loosen up the muscles.

Start slowly starting to stretch reach your arms over you head, Try to contract your abdominal muscles when you're laying down.

I was craving tuna yesterday, I don't like tuna! I'm terrified of cheating! But I can't wait till the 9th. My family made burgers this week and I was so tempted to just nibble a little bit of meat. But I didn't.

Ive been craving a burger, I dont think we should even consider beef for a while?.?...I want something other than the liquid diet. Im torturing myself with ideas.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
