Steph! I was the day after. That would make sense why we don't really remember lol. We were both out of it. Yeah I was always hot, now the house was 75 and I had long pants, fuzzy feet and a light jacket on. Crazy !!! They used glue on me. They knew not to use latex because I'm allergic to that. Maybe something is in the glue. I"ll check out.

And VSG? I think that's who asked about the cpap. I never used one. Sorry :(

I used the cpap and it was fine. They had it in my room and I just put it on when I went to sleep. Same as at home.

I can't find the post but what is going on with glued incisions? Mine were glued....

I read that sometimes the blood thinning injections, when given in the abdomen, can cause bruising.

@@Vsglady I did use my cpap. The First night maybe four hours & second three. I've only had it two week so I'm still not used to it. They switched me to oxygen which was much easier to sleep with.

Yeah - I have a heck of a bruise from one of my Lovenox injections but not from the others. They told me if I rubbed it it was going to bruise. (Although I don't remember rubbing it....)

Hi everyone,

My first post op appointment is today, even though I had my surgery on Tuesday my surgeon meets with patients on Mondays and preform surgeries on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (he's very busy).

I weighted myself yesterday and was down 5 so far????.

I needed something savory yesterday and I had a few spoons of butternut squash Soup and it tasted like fall. It was what I needed.????

Have any of you tried unjury Protein powder? If so what flavor?

My incisions are itchy too. ????My surgeon use some kind of tape that will fall off on its own but the belly button incision is bothering me because my stomach folds over a tad in that area and creates moisture ????so I'll get him to take a look today. I currently have a cotton ball there hoping that helps eliminate some moisture.

I lost only 5 lbs my first week too. Hoped for more but it is what it is. My 2 week post op is tomorrow.

I like the vanilla and strawberry Unjury. The strawberry is very sweet so I add a few ounces of Water.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
