Yes!! Tooting is a blessing. Every time I toot I applaud myself. It makes my tummy happy.

2 1/2 wks out now & had lost 21 lbs at my 2 wk visit. Soft food is a blessing! Haven't found anything that bothers me, but I'm trying to be careful. ret'd to work yesterday & did ok - was tired last night.

Thanks to all the good thoughts & prayers on my brother's death - especially Nomo band. It really helped to know ya'll were there. We were able to bury him in the National Cemetery in Dallas with Military honors. What an amazing facility

Preop diet going good, for sure not mentally easy but do-able. Thanks for the support Jake!

Ok, so today is the big day, surgery with Dr. Brebbia this morning at 1130! Scared, nervous, and excited - wish me luck!

On a side note - nervous because I have had terrible post nasal drip from the pollen and I have started coughing. But I am worried they'll turn me away. I did call them to check and I don't have a fever, but still worried.

I was in the same boat day of surgery- the my did mine regardless and even said it was better for me that I was coughing! Hope it went well!

liquids where hard for just a few days. Then I did herbal tea hot that went down well. A few days later tried cold again. And no problems I can't chug but I take a normal drink like before surgery. Think I'm just lucky

I had my surgery on Thursday May 21 with Dr. Eric Sommer at Hudson Valley Hospital. Today I'm 2 days post-op and I'm now beginning to feel some gas pains. I still don't know what my limit is but I seem to tolerate Water and my Protein Shakes pretty well. Just not a lot of either. No nausea thank goodness. And I seem to be able to take the same sips as I did before surgery. How's everyone else doing?

Hi all, i was sleeved may 12, I just wanted to put it out there for people on the thread I didn't take any pain meds after day 2, and actually asked for less while I was in the hospital as I was feeling great. Just wanted to say for anyone worried. I have had 3 natural births so I know pain, but for anyone who may be concerned, that was my experience!

yeah gas pain is probably the most annoying for me to so far, walking does help that. I'm 3 days post today, glad surgery is done with tho huh!? I'm also just doing sips of water, today was my first full day home, it took me about an hour to drink about 5 oz broth sipping of course. Day by day it all gets a little better :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
