Recommended Posts

I am 5 days postop and almost feeling back to normal haven't had any problems yet minor pain only from the main incision. Was having trouble getting fluids in but today they advanced me to full liquid so i was able to get in a full Premier Protein shake and 1 bottle of Water so far and a little bit of sugar free pudding made with almond milk.it tasted like heaven after the clear liquid diet.im down 4 lbs so far. Mothers day was kinda hard watching everyone eat but i sat away with my Protein and water.I am just so glad its over I was so freaked outand almost cancelled. I cried halfway to the hospital and was 2 hrs early my surgeon took me right in and said he was doing me early so I had no chance to back out.Now that its over this has been the easiest and fastest recovery I have had with any of my surgeries. I am so happy so far cant wait to get to soft food

Hello to all. My surgery is tomorrow I have to be at the hospital at 10:00am. I'm nervous and sad at the same time. Sad that I'm losing most of my stomach. Please pray for me that I have a easy recovery. I'm ready to begin my new life.

My surgery date is May 28 th. Starting to get a little anxious now. Had pre op lab work done today. I will be seeing my surgeon on the 19 th and a class at his office then go to the hospital to see the anesthesia department. I am in the process now of trying different Protein Shakes to see what's tolerable. Which ones have you all found that you like?

I'm having the procedure on 5/28 too. I have a preop class on the 19th too. I met with my surgeon last week.

I like the Premier Protein drinks. My fave is the strawberries and cream but my daughter in law likes the chocolate and vanilla.< /p>

      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.

      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.
