Hey Everyone, I am one week post op and definitely need some surgery buddies. This past week was so difficult, I was told by a lot of people that the first week is the hardest but I still had no idea it was going to be that hard..... I think it would be nice to have some friends who have been there to talk to! Please and Thank You <3

Hey there! I'm 4 weeks post op! I know exactly how you're feeling! If you need to talk about it or have questions I'm an open book! PM me if you want. I think it'd do me good to have a buddy as well!

I'm having the same issues as nemmings only I am hungry all the time and I don't feel full at all. I tried the sugar free Popsicles but they are super sweet. Everything I can have is sweet it's so gross. I'm sick of broth as my only more of savory. I need some support. Help!

I just hit my one week post op on the 29th! The first week was definitely a rough one, each day gets a lot easier. My left side is still pretty tender

In a month u guys will be golden!!! It just keeps getting easier!!! I'm about 6weeks post op! I can't eat a lot of meats bc they make me feel sick, I eat Beans, Soups, and I can eat chips ok which I shouldn't! I haven't had any dumping syndrome and I have ate some sugar over Christmas. I'm so happy for that!! I just find it hard to eat healthy with the things I can eat easily....I want a big salad and it will be awhile!

Hi, I'm 2 weeks 1 day post op and I will say the first week was definitely the hardest. Ive had a few different things to eat which has made me feel much better like having eggs, mashed potatoes, broccoli and cheese Soup, shrimp, refried beans/cheese and salmon. I haven't had and dumping syndrome which I am terrified of getting but trust me next week will be much better. I also had my first post op appointment yesterday and losing 15lbs in two weeks made me so excited for what's to come.

Hello, I had mine on 6/8 so a bit newer than you. My first week was a tad rough, but I felt full. On day 7 I started feeling hungry, but I think it was more a craving for substance, but Dr said to add in a snack and make sure to not eat more than satisfies me (at the moment, 2 oz). Otherwise I'm feeling pretty good. I never thought I would look forward to the pureed stage until now. 5 more days then I get moved up! You can message me at any time, but I am brand new to this! Good luck!

        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
