I know a couple of people that also saw Dr. Bautista and I've heard great things about him. I'm excited but also nervous. It has been a long process to get here (July 2014 - March 2015). After the session with the nurse and dietician on Wednesday I'm feeling much better. Monday will be here before you know it!

I'm feeling pretty good. I was released from the hospital yesterday. sleeping was weird because I kept expecting someone to wake me up. I'm sore but it's manageable. Just trying to get 4 oz of Fluid every hour.

Little gurgling at top of belly in the center below breast bone, but otherwise I feel good! Yes seems the first couple of days you sleep your life away. Today I feel more myself and that I have a little more energy!! I'm hoping its only up from here! Good luck to you Sportsmama I'm praying for you!! Xo

No vomiting :) My 3rd day was absolutely horrible and I seriously thought I was dying! Not sure why day 3 was so bad but I never wish that much discomfort on no one!! Since I have felt great.....Today I have so much energy that I couldn't even take a nap! Took a couple of road trips no more then 30 mins from home...walked around food Lion for about 25 mins and feel good! I'm hoping I can continue on this path! Just hoping I'm not over doing it! I'm so hungry its crazy....got some Jello tonight I think that will save me ;)

@@BetterMEsoon - glad to hear your surgery went well. How are you feeling since you've been home?

@@Kai13 - so good to hear you are feeling better. Wow how awesome you were able to get out and about today!

How is the pain? How is the liquid diet? Have you all been able to get your fluids and Protein in?

I had my pre op classes yesterday. I go for my lab work, ultrasound, etc. next Tuesday. Start liver shrinking diet next Thursday and surgery on April 9th. I just want it to hurry up and get here ????

@@sportsmama13 I haven't reached the Protein goal yet but I'm almost there. I'm getting about 48 oz in a day and the goal is 48-64 oz so that's pretty good. My pain level has been really low. I'm only using 1 pain pill a day. I feel really fortunate. I'm excited for you! I'll mark 4/9 on my calendar so I can check on you.

Prayers it all goes well for you for the preop....that can be hard at times! I am doing well sportsmama! I don't take any pain pills....haven't since the morning after surgery.....the Dr and nurses said I'm a super tough person....I have to agree! Protein is going fine on top of the milk and Water intake! Had some broth last night and this morning!! I'm full at the moment :) I'm heading out to Maryland for the day and to make a few other short trips, I'm definitely fortunate!! God is good! The only discomfort I have is the JP tube area otherwise I'm in excellent shape!!! :) Bettermesoon- I'm praying for you sweetie! Glad all went well :)

        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
