Recommended Posts

Don't give up I'm also 5 days post op.. Haven't had any nausea can get liquids down haven't experience any major pain. Yes but that gas pain is a killer I took Miralax today and had a bm that helped relieve some of the gas... Keep your head up it will get better!

I'm five days also. I can get everything down okay. The pain subsided substantially over the days...I walked a lot...close to 3miles yesterday. I'm hungry though...ready for purée. Look at it like this come June you'll be shopping for bathing suits! Sn, sneezing sucks!

One more thing, we made the decision to improve our lives thru VSG. Our spouses did not make this commitment. They love us but we've got to love ourselves enough to be true to ourselves and have the courage of our convictions. Simply put this is our fight! They will cheer us on from time to time. We will pause and appreciate it but that is not our motivation. A healthy life is our motivation. ( preaching to myself here )

I'm 5 days post Op' date=' I can barely get anything down, I have all these premier Protein drinks I cant drink, I have gas pain and can't fart and My husband keeps eating the things I like In front of me.

I just want a small bowl of Lucky Charms mannnnnn. This is Hell, it's a absolutely terrible experience and I wish I never got this stupid sleeve.[/quote']

I'm only 4days post-op...comparing what I've been through the pre-op. Post is alot better. Let me give you an overview: 1)my 14 day liquid fast was extended to 17 b/c i was still waiting on insurance approval. 2)My family decides going to the state fair my husband ate a pork chop sandwich, my son a mega corndog. As for me...one pickle. 3) The next day was at a parade and homecoming football game... i had to be careful with the diet shakes...the next bathroom was 3 blocks away

I'm still blessed and wasn't draw to temptation. Please hang in there we will be happy in long run.

I sometimes look at the number of pills my husband comsume compared to me and Vitamins ....i love what I'm doing....take care..

        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.

      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
