July 14 (or close )Sleeve Date Friends



Recommended Posts

My surgery was yesterday morning at about 11. I have been walking quite a bit and the nurses say I am doing really well. I just got dressed and that made me feel like a real person again.

I have been sipping on Premier Protein and G2 nonstop. Pain is mostly the gas pain but stomach muscles are really sore when getting up and then sitting back down.

Surprised you can have Protein Shakes already. I'm Clear Liquids first 3 days. Glad it went well fir everyone. My first day was rough, vomit blood then they gave me stuff for nausea. 2nd day felt human got a shower and went home late in day. Doing well and sipping constantly. Walking every 30 min for 5 min. pills kinda hurt and have to sit straight up when drinking per Dr and it helps.

My surgery was Tuesday morning

I was sleeved yesterday afternoon. I am eating Jello right now and they are preparing my discharge. The night nurse said I was the best bariatric patient he has had. Not complaining about pain and walking constantly. Walking feels so good. I am glad to be off morphine, it was making me sick. I swallowed my first pain pill today and it was easy. I was really nervous about that. I can't drink cold Water it has to be room temp but I drink doom temp water normally anyway. I feel great. I'm so excited.

They say they would send me to a hematologist to see if it is ok to have the surgery or not. If I get the clearance, my surgeon says I will do it Monday Morning.

How is everyone doing today? I am at home now which feels so nice. Took a nap when I arrived and now watching trashy daytime TV and walking for 10 minutes of every hour.

Gas isn't dissipating very quickly and stomach is really swollen. But it isn't unbearable.

I forgot to mention that I am 6 pounds o from surgery weight due to the bags of IV formula that got pumped in.

        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
