I just had surgery on Tuesday and can definitely still feel all the bubbles. Every day seems to get a little better though.

I am now 4 days post surgery and I am feeling a lot better. I am starting full liquid diet today and am a little nervous so I will be taking very little steps today. Thank you to all of you for your advice it really helps a lot. For those of you that just had surgery as I did, we are going to be fine I just know it. Lets keep our heads up and find the positive in everyday!

I am four days out today and I couldn't have said it better than Fourstarmom. I feel so much better than I did on Day 2. I still have some gas pains but they are subsiding. I am on a full liquid diet and I've had pudding, Jello, a pudding pop and Protein drinks. I'm still not getting everything I need but I'm well on my way to getting there. The change in two days has been remarkable.

We will get through this - even if it's one day at a time or even one minute at a time!!

Hi Fourstar,

I also had surgery on Tuesday but came home Wednesday night. Thursday i felt awful and had chills. It hurt to get into and out of bed. And trying to roll on my side in bed made me feel like a beached whale! Friday was my day to say what did I do to myself because I must have drunk too fast and got the burps and the foamies. Today (Saturday) I feel much improved although I still have a sharp pain in my right side when I have to get up from a seated or lying down position. If it weren't for that I'd feel great. And as a true hypocondriac, every pain in my leg I think is a blood clot!

I don't even mind the clear liquid diet!

All the best to everyone and thanks for sharing. It helps to know I'm not alone.

Bertey

Congrats the worst part is over and will start to get better as time passes and you begin to heal. It'll get better, just make sure you follow your dr's orders.

      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.
