Feeling incredibly sore today but my surgery was delayed until 6pm yesterday so not quite 24 hours in! No sickness or gas to note just feeling very uncomfortable! Very bumpy journey home but once in my bed I had a little snooze and now awake waiting for my husband and 2 sons to come home. I haven't had too much to drink today as feeling so nervous on how much is too much etc.... But my mouth Is so dry and must keep sipping. I think today I'll just stick with Water and maybe try some Soup or something tomorrow.

Hi there I was banded June 28th I'm now four days post op. I feel great. I wanted to drop in and wish you the best luck on your new joinery as I am beginning mine.

I am drinking lots of Jello tea coffee juice watered down no sugar and eating Popsicles that are no sugar added as well. Lots of chicken broth adding different glaciers so I don't get sick.

There third and fourth day is the hardest I think as I am super tired yesterday and today I feel well rested and itchy from the healing process of the body.

Keep in touch

Congrats...I had some pain. Mostly in my left shoulder. My surgery was the 26th and honestly I feel pretty darn good today. It will be worth it!!

I was just banded on July 3. It's been smooth sailing so far. Just remember to have some variety on your menu when you get to the purée stage.

Hi I'm now day 5 post op. Have managed some very small amounts of smooth Soup and a very thin fat free yogurt yesterday. Before that it was just Water only as I didn't really have an appetite at all. I'm forcing myself to eat something as I do feel quite dizzy at times.

I'm not sure if any of you feel the same but I'm so nervous as to how much to eat as if you eat too much you will be sick and dry heave etc so I don't want to eat hardly anything just in case!

Feeling heaps better today- have had some pain the last few days but have been as mobile as possible and helped round the house with as much as I can reach! Horrible cough though which is driving me nuts as it's really hard to cough due to all the wounds pulling!!

Overall I'm so shocked with how it's going so far- really thought it would be harder than this! I'm currently 8kg since the start of the liver diet 10 days pre op and so down to now 96kg. Xx

For me you just "know" when you need to stop eating. Keep you're Protein at 2 oz and blend it way up. If it's stringy it won't work.

      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
