Hello! My gastric sleeve surgery was on Monday, 3/30/15. And I'm feeling OK. I spent one night in the hospital and was able to come back home the next day. My mom flew in (from Boston) to Colorado to spend the week with me. I cried so hard dropping her off at the airport last night ????. She was so helpful for me. She kept me calm, prayed for me, did my laundry and cleaned my bedroom for my return home. Lol. It was so sweet of her and I truly appreciated her for doing it. I was so cranky and sore post surgery. I don't know what I would have done without her.

So now I'm back on my own, journaling my "food" and Water intake. I definitely must step up my exercise. I'll be back to work next week.

Thank you! I am definitely losing the battle with "head hunger." I really want to chew for some odd reason. Any thoughts on how to kill the cravings or at least curb them a bit?

I'm battling the same feelings! I was sleeved 4/2, and I think it's because my fiancé has been eating amazing smelling stuff all day. I keep telling him to go ahead and I'm fine, but today was rougher than any day so far.

Maaaaan, head hunger is all too real! I'm glad I'm not alone. Today has been my best day so far. No cravings, but I've definitely under eaten and drank today. Yesterday I had some froyo, sugar and fat free. Very little of course. It seemed to stop my cravings and replace it with those random shooting stomach pains. I accepted the consequence but I'm glad it stopped my cravings. Good luck! If you think of any solutions please let know. I know the cravings will be back! [emoji17]

I would call your nutritionist before getting rice crackers. I was told never to those" maybe you can try sugar free Jello or sf Popsicles ..I even froze a Protein Drink into an ice cream. The head hunger is there but it does get better..hang in there! If I can do this, you can do this. I am 3 1/2 weeks out.

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

        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.

      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
