Today is day 10 post op and I'm feeling well, davidncara@sbcglobal.net How are you feeling? I drove yesterday for the first time and yes, walking has helped tremendously. I am really struggling to get in all the Water and Protein. Up to 40 oz water and 30g protein.

I am struggling to get any Protein at this point. I'm sick of all of the current choices of protein. I tried to eat blended Soup last night and I came to the conclusion that I must be still swollen inside. This is day 7 post op. I feel lots better today. I'm still not sleeping through the night. Up every 2-3 hrs. Wish I could sleep on my side! I can't wait for that one sore side to go away! I go back to work tomorrow. EEK!

I'm a stay at home mom but substitute at our high school where our son goes. I work all this week in the attendance office. Did pretty good today, kept sipping so kept up on Fluid intake okay. Ready to rest for the evening now.

It was tough at first. I had to review all day and could NOT sit comfortably without a lean that looks TOTALLY unprofessional! Lol. I sipped all day. I can't stomach anymore Protein shakes! Yuck! I came home and had some Soup. I feel great now, all stretched out in bed! Lol. I had a hard time reaching for things on my table too. But I know the walking up and down the halls was beneficial. I CANT wait for this large incision to heal! 8 more days until summer!

I am in arlington.. Where are you?

Did I mention that I was a teacher?

Oh my gosh! I'm in Arlington too! We live near Ditto Elem (our kids went there). Our daughter goes to Young Jr High and our son is a freshman at Martin where I'm subbing all this week. Such a small world! I was at USMD with Dr Lyons.

It is AISD, and it is over by cravens park, by ferguson jh. I FINALLY slept through the night! First time in 8 days! Now, if only the next 3 days would fly by!

        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
