I can't believe tomorrow is day 5 post op already. Started full liquids today...felt really good to have soup! But you know what tasted wonderful to me? V8 juice.< /p>

I know this isn't exactly on topic, but I feel the need to share my "coming home from the hospital" story. I finally left at about 7:30 pm on Tues. Got to my condo at about 8. So, my neighbor had kindly offered to carry my suitcase upstairs, as well as my mom's oxygen tank (she drove up from VA to be with me in hosp & to help me for the first week after. But she has COPD, hence the O2 tank). As my neighbor & I were on the stairs, I hear this crack & thud outside....I hobbled outside, & there was my mom, on the sidewalk, flat on her back, leaving a puddle of blood under her head. Well, after I called 911 and saw that she was conscious, we spent the next 4 hours in the ER. 8 stitches and lots of bruises later, but thankfully nothing broken or a concussion, we made it back home. I'm glad I've been feeling ok, 'cause I've been taking care of her more than the reverse. WTF!!! Just needed to get that off my chest.

Wow, that's heavy. Thank God she is good. Taking care of her takes your mind off your pain. So that's really good.

I'm good too y'all. It's day 2 for me. Bo real pain. Well cause I'm taking pain meds as prescribed. I am also taking pills for nausea, cause I don't want that in my life. They say that the hiccup and all cause it. I do need that one at all.

I'm in a great mood. Not doing too much cleaning of anything, just relaxing. Drinking Protein and Water.

Made it to my hometown. My surgery is in the city about an hour away. 3 more sleeps! My mom hasn't seen me in about 3 weeks and says I look different already...I guess I can thank my month long Water and Glucerna pre-op meal plan.

      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.
