  • MisforMimi That's great! I love hot tea, it's been my drink of choice for 20+ years (not a coffee person). I was worried I wouln't be able to tolerate it afterwards. hopefully I'll be like you!! although I'm told that hot or cold beverages arent good for a new stomach. so more like lukewarm???
...I hope I can have hot drink after my op....as I do enjoy a good cup tea/coffee...even if its decaf...oh Next week is my op.

I came home from the hospital on Friday, so 2 1/2 days on IV fluids. I have been meeting my daily required, walking, Water, Protein and Vitamin and nothing else. I've gained 15 pounds!!! They told me it was normal but I haven't seen anyone else mention gaining. I have lost 5 of it, but still holding on to 10, please tell me I'm about to see a crazy huge drop!

Begin Again, I was on IV fluids for 4 days- 1/15, 16, 17 and 18 (discharge day)

It is really to help against dehydration those first days when intake is such a challenge. Someone warned against getting on the scale when you get home on this site. It all came out in the wash when I weighed on my week out 'surgiversary' and I was down 7.5 pounds. It will come off soon. Hang in!

Thank you for all your replies about hospital weight gain. That makes me feel a lot better, another 5 disappeared today, fingers crossed the last 5 will be gone tomorrow.

Jkpizano5, glad to hear you made it through fine and are feeling OK. I'm still gassy too but the Gas-X strips do seem to help. My doc said I could take them but he didn't think they would make a difference. Maybe it's all in my head, but it feels like they do.

Two more days and a wake up till my surgery date!! My husband is starting to freak out. Cause all he is thinking about is the possibility of my not making it through the surgery! I keep telling him I've had other surgerys and have been fine, but now making me kinda nervous lol. (Big breath in and out)

Thin-for-kidney- my husband did the same thing, I listened to his concerns and decided to go forward with the surgery. I don't know what's the best decision for you, but just know what you are both feeling is normal.

      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.
