Day 12: First day pain free! No incision pain or anything! I can bend, and even applied a little pressure that normally painful site and it didn't hurt at all! I feel great. No trouble with fluids. I feel normal again lol. Still no movement in the scale since day 7. Side note Glue on top incision is gone today. Healed nicely.

Hi LuminousLife - What have you been able to drink besides Water since day 7?

Do you have any feeling of hunger at all? I really do appreciate your daily posts!

Day 13: I had another great day. No pain, no trouble with my fluids. I feel normal again! I catch myself forgetting I had it done. Tomorrow I should get the approval to move to phase 3. I am so excited to eat eggs and cottage cheese!!!! I decided to follow a Paleo way if eating for health reasons along with weight loss since I am able to get in enough Protein without shakes. My husband also wants to try it. So good things all around. No regrets.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
