Keep walking, walk as much as possible. Every time I woke up, I used the bathroom, then walked till I was tired.

Three weeks out tomorrow! Down 17 pounds (SW 200 CW 183). I've ran three 5k's on treadmill in the past week and had no stomach pain at all! Starting soft diet on Thursday (although surgeon let me have thick Soups and scrambled week last week). Feeling great, but I'm exhausted by evening.

Ditto this!!! Walk walk... I felt so much better when I was walking. The pressure and bloating from sitting down made me hurt more. Walking helped with pain.

Today was my first post op surgeon appointment. All is great!

I am day #8 today post op. Tomorrow I start Phase 3 diet: Purée foods. Off narcotics day 3 & Tylenol until day 5.

Doing pretty good!! Definitely dealing with air bubbles not wanting to come up... Feels "hung up" or stuck and have a hard time burping..... Dr said it will get better & it's normal.

PreOp Diet Starting Weight: 215

Surgery Day: 205

Currently (8 days PO): 191

Didn't someone start a FB group of the July-er's ?

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?

I have not... But I have taken a long shower and rubbed lightly with body wash the incision area. It was just fine.

I have actually had the 3 smaller ones already come off and fully closed. Only one with glue really on it is the big one next to belly button and one on my left side.

I have that issue, like I need to burp but it is stuck. Usually standing up fixes it.

I will try that more... And maybe even move around angle wise. Sometimes bending over and putting some pressure on the stomach to help move it up. Sometimes even drinking Water will help move it up.

Dr said it is probably getting stuck on the diaphragm and will get better once swelling/healing is better

      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.
