Hello ladies, I am on Day 2 post op (surgery was Wed morning) and I am in horrible pain! Standing up and sitting down my body just screams...is this normal? I'm assuming after a major surgery iris but want some reassurance. Thanks!

Try a binder, Spanxx, Flexee underwear.

Sorry, I know I haven't logged in lately. A lot been going on between family life and work. By the time I sit down at night, I am worn out. Things are going ok. I have lost 26 lbs since surgery. Was still really sore up til about a week ago. Still eating creamed Soups and liquids as I can't seem to eat any thing else yet. It hurts. Dr. wants me to try again tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well. I will try to do better about checking in. Best wishes to all. Take care.

How are you feeling? I was in terrible pain also. I have just started feeling like myself for about the last week and a half or so. Hope you are feeling better and things are a little easier for you. Take care.

Well, I am down a few more pounds. I weigh less than I have in a lot of years. I am at 235 from 303 since my first consult on July 18, 2014. They want me to be at 200 by my next follow up on April 2. I have stalled out a few times on my weight. I still can't eat but a few teaspoons and I have to stop. For the last week though, I have been throwing up a lot. Not sure why. Very mucusy. And I know before hand as I get that "frothing" that they talk about. Shew....anyone else have that problem? Been very emotional too lately, which everyone is blaming my surgery mixed with hormones. I don't know. Can others share their experience since surgery? Would like to think I haven't gone off the deep end...lol. Thanks

Could very well be hormones.. when we lose weight, stored up hormones are released (estrogen).

      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
