Few hours now after surgery.,, drugs are killing... I hate this feeling. Extreme discomfort and gas pain...... Any advice?

From past surgeries and others walking helps with the gas. Hope it gets better quick for you.

I am 2 days out from my surgery. To be honest I feel pretty good. I am not in the mood to eat. But I am trying to get something in my system. Is anyone else having this issue as well.

I was sleeved Monday, I don't have any appetite either, but I Am fine with that. I think that's pretty normal at this stage. I'm supposed to add Protein Shakes tomorrow. I can't even think about that. I guess a sip or two will be ok. I had some broth today and tea. So far so good.

1 week and 3 days post op and I am feeling more or less back to normal. I think I should have kept a blog about my journey so may well start one.

The hardest thing for me up to now is 'the mind games' I am trying really hard to control it.

This web site has really helped me

I went to my 1 week follow-up today. I've lost 10.6 lbs. I'm on full liquids for another week then on to blended liquids for 2 weeks. Doc is happy with my progress.

For everyone that has had their surgery any suggestions or tips for us to come still on getting through the liquids after surgery? Just thinking it may help us get thru the rough days.

      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
