I'm great!!! I hear ya about the pouch not being stretched..I know eventually it will get a bit bigger but I don't want to be the one to over stretch it! I also couldn't believe I had the surgery cause didn't feel diff and its amazing how it seemed to just all fall back into place afterwards. The phases of diets I've had to move up we're not exactly easy but I know this is the best I've felt in 8-10 years! My pain in my back,hips, and ankles are pretty much gone! This surgery has given me my life back and I honk so many others here can attest to that.

Hey everyone,

10 days out and doing amazingly well.

Getting my protiein, fluids and vitiamins. have had no real bad side effects .walk almost every day ( weather permitting ) past couple of dayshave been beautiful and i have been walking between 1 mile and a 1-3/8 mile hopefully next week kick it up to two miles ....this is a huge improvement to 6 months ago was avering 100 yards and needing to sit down and take a rest

I live in a quaint little town that has been around for Approx. 200 years , some very old Historical homes and building on every block, Its amazing what you see if you just walk around and look ...

Hope everyone is comming through this ok ?

Have a great weekend

RJ

That is fantastic! Great job!!

I just started feeling a bit better yesterday and had more strength. The conversion to RNY took more out of me than I expected. I still have a G drain to my old stomach and I think that is part of it as I am nauseated a lot.

I have been getting my Vitamins and Water in but not quite there on Protein. Hopefully today will be the day. I was able to eat a whole scrambled egg for lunch today which was good. We're off and running now!! :)

Dear pittguy & iamworthit ,

Thanks for the support , I am adapting to the new way of life fairly well , the effort and need i world expend expend on

eating and thinking of eating and planning on eating is gone !!! the takeout buisness in Media has taken a mighty hit!

I love it! I haven't started a cleaning frenzy yet but I am sure it will come. I hadn't thought about the magnets too funny.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
