My little incisions are sooo itchy!

Do you have stitches or glue?

I went to have my nails done today, and then I went shopping a little. I think I over did it, I really need a nap. I am going to limit the distances I drive until I have my follow up appointment.

I have 4 that are stitches and 1 that is staples.
Anyone gone to pool or been in Water a short time with glue on? Is that OK?

You can't be in Water for 2 weeks.

Think about Chlorine getting into an open wound....

There are a couple private FB July Sleever groups. I do not use Facebook, but if you look in some of the other july threads you will find the information on them

I'm happy to report that I'm feeling awesome, day 9! Yesterday I was even able to go for 2 walks, getting in almost 12000 steps. I'm getting close and closer to my Protein goal every day & have hit my Water goal for the last 3 days straight! I feel great & am so happy n fortunate to have had this surgery!!

Yay you for being so strong during the get together! I haven't had to experience that yet but know it will be tough. Congrats on getting through it unscathed!

I am 1 week out and still having issues getting all my fluids in but I am able to eat yogurt now and cream Soups. From what my doctor said that's all a part of my Fluid intake so I'm happy to be able to advance. I bought silicone ice pop makers and made crystal light ice pops. That's seemed to help.

Sorry your surgery was cancelled Khaled. Did they saw when you can have it?

Hematologist says I am normal nothing is wrong, and he says I am cleared to have the surgery.

Now I am waiting for surgery staff to call me and reschedule.

How is everyone feeling today? I am feeling pretty close to 100%. I think I am going to stop sleeping on the couch and move to the bed. I am able to drink a lot of fluids now. Almost taking full swallows. Not gulp but pretty normal sized amounts. Follow up appointment is tomorrow then on to full liquids. I can't wait for a good cup of Soup.< /p>

I'm day five. Feeling like a million bucks no pain meds yet. Only nausea came after taking Vitamins so going to stop until advancing to soft food. Gone shopping twice now with no trouble. I do get tired quickly but that's to be expected. I hope everyone will have an easy time of it.

        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
