I just got back from walking the neighborhood. It's a small neighborhood so I was only gone about 15 minutes but it was great to get outside.

Sounds like we are all in the same boat. My pain and nausea are minimal but I have no energy. Feeling weak and wobbly which makes me nervous to go too far from home. I haven't been out anywhere besides walking down my street because I'm afraid of feeling faint in public.

I'm a July 1 sleever. I am feeling like I am recovering well, although I'm alternating between sleeping on the recliner and in a guest room. Having a hard time with that. A little sore, especially in the belly button area (hernia repaired there). Gas is subsiding now. Had to take a laxative on Saturday (per instructions at leaving the hospital) and that worked easily. Today, I have been to the bathroom 5 times, hmmm. I can't drink Water yet, it just hurts! I'm supposed to go into pureed foods on Friday ... we'll see where that gets me. Had to speak with the surgeon on Saturday, he told me to take Lasix to try to bring down all the swelling in my legs and feet. By the time I left the hospital on the 3rd, I was up 10.2 pounds. As of today, I'm just .1 shy of losing 1 pound (since weighing in on 7/1 before surgery).

Buyers remorse? Not sure, just feeling awfully skeptical about the entire process.

Sorry, I don't know why my last comment ^^^ came out like that.

So I over estimated how good I was feeling. I walked longer than ever this morning but when I ran out to the bank and then did some grocery shopping this afternoon I came home feeling exhausted. I am also alternating between sleeping in the comfy chair with the ottoman and trying to sleep in my bed. It seems like it really hurts to sleep flat but I'm getting soooo tired of the chair. I have 3 more weeks of liquid only. I never thought I'd envy someone when they said they got to eat pureed food next week but I do.I'm still struggling with removing the buyers remorse from my thoughts. It's done now so I need to view this positively but it's still hard.

I overdid yesterday and am sore and testy today. Totally my fault! No more bending over either as it hurts and I just kept working through it. Hello, listen to the body!

However, Milagro the Mexican Wonder Tummy is now noshing on a Bariatric Advantage Calcium Chew (caramel) and while loud, isn't too upset. This is the first solid thing he's had in 3 weeks!!!!

      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.
