They are wonderful there. He was my doctor. I was sleeved on 01/06/14. You are doing the right thing. The walking helped me to much with all the gas.

I am less than 24 hours out of surgery. I am honestly walking around, drinking Gatorade, feeling fine. Dr. Ortiz is the best. My P is funny colors,but everything else seems normal. My leak test went fine, and I'm going to the Marriott tomorrow.

I can't believe how easy this actually was.

Hi...I am a newbie. Had my surgery on Jan7th in New Jersey. I honestly didnt think it was going to be so hard. I spent 2 days in, and got re admitted for 2 more days. I am starting to get sick of full liquids. I haven't had any food since Dec 23. Had to do 2 weeks of Protein Shakes. I have some soreness in my stomach. But everything goes down fine. Stomach makes gurgling noises. But I feel hungry...and when I do eat I feel so full. It like you can't win! Sometimes I worry I am not getting enough. This is all so confusing to me! Does anyone know a good Protein Shake. So far all the ones I have tried stink! Thank you.

I started my liquid diet on Thursday. It wasnt bad the first day. Kept myself busy today was horrid, I woke up with a bit of a Migraine. . My muscles were so sore from Lord knows what and I faced "head hunger" tonight. Thats wasnt pretty but I got through it. I had the tiniest taste of some tuna that I made for son but other than that I was good.

How many shakea do u do on your diet? I have to get 5 in amd finding it impossible. I can get 4, I will manage my time better tomorrow. With the 4 day weekend its hard to keep busy. I want to lounge on the couch but then that is where the head hunger comes in. I get bored lol

Good luck on yours!! U got this! I can have sf pudding and sf Jello, that saves me. :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
