Hi everyone, as i have said before i am 4 mths post op but still dont feel quite 'normal' yet. Does anybody else feel like this? I seem to always feel better in the afternoon but i never wake up and bounce out of bed anymore. All my blood work is normal so just hoping its my body adjusting to the new me!

Everyone is so different. We all have fears that something is going to happen to ruin our new goals and mind set. You will get stronger and stronger as time goes on. Maybe you might want to try to hire a trainer for a bit to get you going again. If all the Doctors are satisfied that you are okay. Maybe push the next step. It can be so exhilarating to exercise. I always feel very high after I do that.....

Me right now am on hold as well. i have a new issue with my sleeve and am just trying to get better myself. So I know the frustration that can happen when you are on this journey! :)

I am one of the very very few people who have had one complication after another....I have been in and out of the hospital continually since my surgery in 2012.

From a leak to a coma to 14 surgeries and then a category 5 bed sore...Five months of no food and now I have an abscess due to a pin hole leak. Now I have a drain in my side and they are trying to drain it. 6 weeks I have to keep the drain and I have a nurse that comes in every day to flush it out..Hurts like the dickens. but it is what it is...

I am thrilled with my progress and would not change my decision to have this done. I am a live where before I was just existing....I am so grateful for the sleeve. But I was a rare patient that had it all go wrong.....

I did not have a clue about any of what what going or could have happened from this choice....If you want more detail...PM me and I'll tell you want you need to know...no problem...I am sure people are tired of hearing my story by now...lolol

        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
