Congrats to all that have their dates, I had my gastric bypass May 6th, I'm doing good best I can tell you is follow the diet plan they give you. Don't get disappointed if you do lose a lot right off I'm only down 14 pounds but for me I'm very happy not going up coming down. Make sure you eat slow drink only 20 mins b4 eating and 20 mins after I got sick one time my fault stomach was full but tasted so good ate to much that's a no no.. I feel so much better my depression is almost none existent my energy is coming back. I wish you all good luck :)

Itt's really odd.... I had surgery yesterday and from everything I've read it's so hard to get all your liquids down. I am having no problems. I can drink 4ounces at a time... Also ate a Jello cup with no problems.

I'm 2 days post op and can't get anything down until this gas is out... and I can't seem to get it out for nothing.

I have surgery on Monday at 1045. I am on a 2 day all liquid diet starting tomorrow. It's getting real

It really is... well best of luck to you. I am 3 days post op....and nobody told me how painful the gas pains would be (drs pump u up w/gas at surgery. .and they give u meds to stop your bowels). They (gas pains) are worse than the surgery itself....but walk..walk. ..walk around the hospital...and it will pass..mine took about 40 hours...and that's with taking gas-x and lots of walking. Just keep walking. ..and putting heat pads on ur chest.

You will be in prayers for a speedy recovery!

I am 3 days post-op and pooped this morning. Wasn't much but enough to help relieve some gas too. I've been walking a lot and the gas isn't too bad. I came home from the hospital yesterday and I'm feeling not too bad. My stomach is sore but that's expected. I gain a few pounds in the hospital but lost that last night. Now I am just trying yo get some Protein Shakes down and my Water. Little sips...I also exited for this journey to finally be here! Thanks for asking! How is everyone doing?

      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.
