They may not be sensitive to what you're going through. She probably believe she was just making a lighthearted joke. Like I say, just let it roll off of you like Water off a ducks back. You don't want to go in with any type of stress it's not helpful.

@@walkin'onsunshine its okay, I'm glad you are doing well! Hopefully it gets better, I've been walking 3 miles a day since friday to relieve some of the pain. Whàt can yoù eat so far? We all have so many differrent plans.

Today I start 3 weeks of puréed foods. Went to 2 week post op appointment today. They said I need to eat more. Puréed has no requirements except the obvious. I do have a low grade fever. But other than that seems to be going well. Started at the gym a couple days ago. Can now lift up to 25 pounds.

Wow walkin'onsunshine. I cant believe you are lifting weights. My surgeon said no lifting greater then 10lbs for 6 weeks. These Doctors are so different on there post op orders.

Cross posted from the pre surgery thread. I have hit a stall. 4 days of the same weight so far. I knew it was about to come soon. I've read these threads so often that I'm not too worried about it right now. Some have the stall for a full 2 weeks. I know it will start going down eventually.

thanks.

Hopefully they figure out what's going on with you. Is it a constant feeling or is it intermittent?

Hey, hey. October 2nd here. So waiting for Thursday to actually be on pureed food. Spaghetti was for dinner tonight, I am so sad.

Omg! It was spaghetti night in my house also and I had to cook it. It smells so good. Im hating the fact that I can't eat any. :( Surgery date is 10/23

i can't drink lately. It's start cramping with Just a couple of sips. I know I'm dehydrated. The most Fluid I've got in, in a day, is about maybe 24ounces. Last thing I ate was some pumpkin pie yogurt yesterday evening.

when I go in today I think they are going to keep me. I'm so scared. I can't afford to cry even my eyes are dry and irritated.

Maybe it's a stricture. I hope they find out what's wrong. It's probably best that they keep y p u to give you fluids that you need.

      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.
