<p>Aygad,</p> <p> </p> <p>How are you feeling today ?</p>

Hey Movinon,

Still have the pains with any intake, but fluids are going in much easier.

Lost 16.5 lbs so far and feeling better except for those pains.

I talked to my dr. And will see him and will see him tomorrow morning.

Thank you so much for your concern.

How are you?

I was sleeved on the 16th. I don't think I could have asked my recovery to have gone any better. I had absolutely zero gas pains, and very little soreness. I did however get sick from the anesthesia. That passed after two days though. I am currently down 29 pounds since starting my two week pre-op diet.

My surgery was June 9th. I am down 10 lbs but still very bloated and tired. I take a nap every day and get 10 hours of sleep each night. I have been able to keep everything down. I have been eating puree Soup and doing well with it. I also have been able to get my Water in easily. Protein Shakes are a different story. I'm only drinking 1-2 per day.

My doc told me the Protein is what gives your energy back. I was sleeved June 9th also. I went on Pintrest and got different ideas for protein mix ins.

Tell us a little bit more about yourself. How have your Fluid intakes been? Are you following the clear/full liquid stages? Are you walking in increments up to 40 mins a day? Are you a lower start BMI? All of these things can impact your weight loss...

Ok so I'm 11 days post op and down 15 pounds. I've been getting all my fluids in but struggling with Protein. I haven't started walking yet because I haven't gotten my energy back yet. The doctor fussed at me so I know I have to change this like now. I don't know if I'm a lower start BMI. My start BMI was 35.6. Is that "lower"?

Ended up in the ER today due to dehydration. I've been feeling miserable for a few days. Called doc about continuing retching. Sure enough, not getting enough fluids. Got a liter of Fluid and ended up admitted anyhow. The IV is helping. Was finally able to get some broth down. Gonna be here till tomorrow at least. :(

Well last night I attended a charity ball. It was great to fit into a smaller size dress. My husband really like my dress too! I enjoyed cocktail hour, focused on choosing a few Protein dense items. It was nice to not overstuff myself. I didn't feel cheated or left out in any way. I was able to stand the whole time instead of looking for a chair, my feet didn't hurt! For dinner I selected the salmon. I eat about 1.5 oz. chewing it real slow and the inside of a potato croquet. I missed having the salad but that is okay. Not ready for that yet. What a pleasure not to be tempted by the bread basket. I missed the coffee but that is okay too. I tasted the inside of an Italian pastry, but thought it was to sweet! The best part of the evening though was when my husband and I danced to At Last, our wedding song. We were able to be real close, the extra weight on him is gone - he had vsg Feb. 2013, and 19.6 lbs. and counting gone from my body too. Feeling good!

        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.

      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
