I am 7 days post op and feel pretty good!

I am still a little soar on my right side. I have been walking every morning and getting as much Protein as I can stand. The liquid bit is getting old but I will hang in there.

I have only lost 8 lbs so far, I guess I need to do more walking.

8 lbs is awesome!! Keep up the good work. I have my surgery on August 12th and I am currently doing a two week liquid diet. I'm both nervous and excited. I hope that i feel OK 7 days out. I am more worried about the after surgery phase, than the surgery itself. Congrats on everything!!

Good for you -- walk walk walk and remember to stay hydrated so drink those tiny sips of Water often! 8 lbs is good, it'll get better and eventually, the pounds will be melting off and you'll feel amazing! Good Luck!

As of today I am 9 pounds and 6 days out. My only struggle is getting all the fluids. Yesterday I had doctors appt and I was at the beginning stages if dehydration. I didn't know. My heart rate was 125 sitting in the doctors chair. He called my surgeon and they said dehydration. Doing much better today. Even walked almost a mike with my 3 kids!

Yes I'm 7 days out and I have pain on my right side.

So you are not alone! Let's get healed before we try any physical activity.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
