I guess I'm doing as well as expected. Thankful that I've not been nauseous at all and able to drink with ease.

Special note...don't wait too long to take your pain medication. They give it for a reason. I'm not a pill taker and I waited too long yesterday and ended up in tears. Also buy GasX!

Yesterday was awful but today is better. First day I have not cried. Lol

Protein Shakes are still not very good. My taste seems to be off. I have whey 2Go Protein packs that mix with Water that's kind of like crystal light.

I'm not sure where you are but I'm UK and use slim and save shakes. They taste quite nice but I've only managed two today. www.sns.co.uk they taste quite nice maybe give them a try. It takes me an hour to drink one though. Hope that gets better.

Congratulations, you will get better each day. walk as much as you can, and drink liquids. I had to be on Clear Liquids for 4 days so I did not get Protein shakes right away, however I like muscle milk and I do sometimes still use that as a go to when in a hurry.

Hi. I'm in GA. The pain has been manageable. I'm on day 4 post-op. Day 2 was the worst for me. Today I've slept a lot but tried to walk every two hours.

      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.
