Day 2 post op was really hard for me. I was in a bunch of pain and my tummy would not stop rumbling. Today is day 3 and I'm not in as much pain. I'm still weak and out of breath. I'm not as hungry though and I continue walking around the house to help with gas.

Glad u are feel n better I am nervous about the gas pain..

I think the soreness is much worst than the gas pains. Getting in and out of bed or just trying to stand up from sitting is where all my pain is. Get you some gas x strips and walk. The gas pain did not hurt me. It was just very uncomfortable. I could feel it move from one side of my body to the next

Some people Have said that a heating pad helped also and peppermint tea.. I am willing to do anything to be more comfortable.

I love my heating bad. I pretty much turn it on when I sit back down or lie down. I just hate how I'm so hungry on the one week Clear Liquids diet.

Are you drinking your liquids every 15 minutes . Don't know what your doc or nutritionists directed you to do, but I haste that you're hungry. They have clear Protein you can drink. Try that for your hunger pangs.

They told me I can have all the clear liquids I could handle since I'm wide open. I still can't find Isopure anywhere for the clear Liquid Protein.

I need to get out and check GNC or buy some my doctors office. My band has it's own mind today. I'm so full but my tummy is still giving me hunger pains. I've only got down about 16 ounces of fluids today.

      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. 🤞
