I slept in my bed, used extra pillows. Kingsize or body pillow to use as protection I hugged onto it slept comfortable.

still having trouble figuring out this forum on my iPad, but this post I was referring to the post about sleeping at home after surgery.
Hi Cookies, how r u feeling? We r almost a week out? Have u weight yourself?
I'm feeling good just itchy I have the steri-strips off tomorrow. Started stage 2 today Vitamins, Protein baby food and yogurt... My scale may be off a little but today from date of surgery about 7lbs down. How are you doing? I'm glad haven't gotten sick at all and drinking plenty of Water.
That's great good job. I've lost about 9.2 lbs. try Benadryl for the itchy. I was Severely dehydrated up In till sat. It was Horrible but I'm all better now. We must have different Stages. every dr is different. Cause I'm able to eat Soups and such blended in a blinder. My sister made chili and I Blended it with beef stock. Then put it in ice cube trays. Pop two out and there is my ounce of food. I'm glad ur doing good I go see my dr next wed. Keep in touch :)

Good, I'm so glad you're well....keep me informed. I'm pretty much the same. Gotta get this dinner down. It's not hard, but these gas pains are more of a pain in the ass lol

      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.
