1 Day Post Op.....It's a breeze!



Recommended Posts

hello everyone. I am 1 day post op and feeling great. I must admit when I woke up from surgery I initially began to second guess my decision to be sleeved. However, by the end of the night I felt like it was the best decision I have ever made. I passed my swallow test this morning with no issues and the pain meds are helping tremendously. Looking forward to heading home tomorrow morning will keep you updated.

1 day post op and feeling great

Moni_0330

glad everything was/is terrific :)

you have a great journey ahead of you :)

a good thing to do periodically is..........

take before, during and after pictures

keep a record of things going on, how you are doing, problems et al

and take your measurements

this is good for all newbies and others to do :)

do as i say, not as i do :huh:

i never did the above - and i regret it :mellow:

may you feel as good tomorrow - as you do today :)

stay well

take care

good luck :)

I just got sleeved Tuesday. I felt good too being at the hospital but let me tell u after the the iv came out and I came home it's been so hard. Haven't been able to keep a lot down wish I would have stayed an extra day. But even with that being said I still don't regret it! Hope u have a speedy recovery!

We had surgery the same day!! How are you feeling today? I probably got in one Protein shake and an additional 25oz. Not easy. Have to stand up to sip and stay that way for awhile. I hope you try and take your pain meds too, and move! I must admit picking my son up from preschool with my mom kicked my butt since we went to 711 after for his slurpee. The in and out of the car part wore me out. Let me know how your doing! What was your starting stats? Mine is 244# and I'm 5'5

I am 9 days post op today, and definitely feel this was the best decision of my life. My second day I was thinking what the heck did I do to myself. It gets better and easier with every day. Keep moving and keep sipping slowly. I have to make sure that I am sitting up straight to get everything in. Sipping slowly is my downfall. Every day is a learning experience. So glad I can jump on this app and make some new friends who are going through the same things I am. I am 5'1" starting weight at my first nutrition class 219, pre op day of surgery 209, 9 days post op 196

My starting weight was 254 I'm 5'4. I been taking my meds it does help! As of yesterday I stopped throwing up which I'm happy about. I been trying to drink my Protein yesterday I was only able to get 2 30ml of it and was easier to get Water in. The thought if food and anything going in my mouth grosses me out I'm really gonna push today and get out walk around Walmart or something need to get some more leggings.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
