mavsfan3521,

I completely understand about not being able to eat certain foods again, but I know it will be worth it!

How did your surg go? I had mine the 30th as well and all went well.

My surgery went very well. I am 4 days post op. I still have soreness in my navel area (incision site) the other 4 areas are healing properly. I WALK AS MUCH I CAN and DRINK as much as I can tolerate to stay hydrated(its very easy to become dehydrated). My appetite is slim to NONE. The Protein Shake, Soups, crystal light and diet cranberry juice from the hospital are my new besties. I have tried the mushy foods (I know its early) 1 teaspoon salmon, 1 teaspoon refried Beans, 2teaspoons mashed potatoes... my stomach tolerated them all. My main issue is MY FAMILY MEMBERS are unhealthy eaters which can make you feel like giving up on your own goal to weight loss. Collard greens, bbq ribs, cornbread, mac n cheese are just NOT on the menu and being around these types of food is hard to say "no" unless YOU have prepared yourself.

My surgery went good although when I woke up I said to myself what did I get myself in to.. I was in pain and am allergic to hydrocodone... but later on that day it hot easier when I started walking. .its like the walking helped a lot. Monday will be a week for me and the other day I tried 3 Ritz crackers and my tummy did not approve of that yet I hope.. I felt like it got stuck and it took as long time ti digest. . Will not do that again till my doctor says so. ..

      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.
