I didnt feel a choking sensation but a feeling of not enough room for what I was trying to drink. It lasted the first 2 days.

haha. I got them at Bed Bath and Beyond. I've never seen the little ones before. It was perfect ! Especially since it can hold hot liquids. I can have my morning coffee ;)

Sleeved @ 1030am and at home the same day. Not sure if I'm the only one, but the pain comes just lying here and I'm having a hard time taking deep breaths. How often are you drinking? Just constant small sips all day?? I don't want to ruin my sleeve just after I got it.

How did you do last night? Very few doctors send you home the same night. I switched doctors for thst reason. I drsnk small sips every few minutes after the first night. Nothing but ice chips on surgery day post op. I was sleeved on 7 October.

I decided to work from home today instead. Thank you for thinking of me. I am still feeling great. I commute an hour to work in a commuter van and just didn't feel up to the long day How are you?

Im glad you had no vomiting or nausea. The gasc strips helped me a little, not much. Walking and moving my shoulders in an airplane like move helped me more with the gas pains.Micah Spain's were mostly in my shoulders for some reason.

      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
