So the first 7 days was pretty normal. I was able to eat everything I had on 2 week pre-op. Exactly 7 days out... BOOM. Can't stand the Protein Shakes. One kind ran right thru me. Everything changed. Anyone else?

Are they lactose free shakes? Sometimes after surgery you can become temporarily lactose intolerant.

I think I have cellulitis on the left side of my stomach, this is a staph or strep infection, waiting patiently 15 more minutes til doctor's office opens, while freaking out inside.

Anyone else dealt with this. It is swollen hot, and lumpy red. I am so sick of the antibotics that I was already taking, so hard to crush and hide in food, nasty nasty.

Do they have liquid antibiotics.

Didn't mean to like the post...yes there are liquid and you should ask for it. They're not amazingly flavored but better than the bitter pills. Good luck let us know what they say!

7 days out today 10 lbs lighter. Stopped pain meds after 2 days, feeling great, but have some weird changes I don't know if normal. Bowel habits!

My bowel habits are still not normal. Metamucil is my new best friend.

Great job. Since I cannot get Protein Shakes down I am losing a pound a day. I have not really had a change in bowel habits until a Protein Powder and my tummy did not get along.

I am back to presurgery weight, and when I was at the doctor today for my rash that turned out to be a hematoma, he counted that as my post op appt, so I don't have to go back on wednesday.

Working on getting more Protein in and making my liquid goals, each day a little closer.

I was pretty much back to pre surgery weight at my 1 week post op appointment too. I haven't weighed in a few days, since I'm coming up on the dreaded 3 week stall I have vowed to only weight once a week, I'm doing that on Thursday Morn.

        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
