Hi, just checking in! My surgery was on yesterday. Today is much better than yesterday. I'm up & walking around. Surgeon ordered me Tylenol as a pain reliever. I had to beg for something stronger. Finally got Dilaudid. My husband was definitely upset about that. But, even through that experience, I don't feel any regrets.

Isopure from GNC counts as clear liquids and two bottles count as your day's worth. I was trying to post a pic but the app keeps crashing.

Unbelievably enough, after my continuously telling everyone that Blue Cross usually approves real quickly they are taking the full 10 day requirement for my approval. I have called every other day since they first got it, because that's what they keep telling me to do and still I have no approval. I'm supposed to be a part of a study which I can't get in to until the approval is received. I am so sick and tired of waiting. I've been ready and waiting for approval since February 4th. Unfortunately it took until March 25th for the mayo to submit the request to my insurance. Very very frustrating.

My pain level is maybe a 5 now.. It still hurts while I'm getting up out of the chair or bed.. And it's a little uncomfortable walking but it's not painful my stomach just feels really tight .. Oh and when I take a really deep breath it hurts right under my ribs. I had my surgery Wednesday and got to my room by 3pm and was up for a walk by 4:30. And it hurt bad but I had them give me pain meds and I made myself get up to walk a little.

Were you told to have Protein during your clear liquid stage? The reason I am asking is because they don't have that listed on my post op clear liquid stage

      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.
