Checking in. Surgery went well. Feeling much better today. Didn't sleep well so I'm real tired. Not hungry at all. Finding it hard to get all the fluids in. I've been walking- trying to move has around. They say I'm doing good tho and might go home tomorrow.

I hope Happychica101 and all my other buddies are doing good. We are on the other side now. ????????????

HappyChica- hope this great improves your IIH. I have intractable Migraines and clusters and doc thinks I may have IIH even though lp was normal. I'm going back and forth between bypass and sleeve - my surgeon recommends bypass. Seen some nice stats for WLS and migraines and IIH. Good luck!!

How are my fellow June 24th friends doing? I'm feeling better every day. I've been following the plan and logging everything. Still on full liquids through Sunday. Two ounces, 3 times a day. Mostly strained cream of chicken Soup. I made an ice cube tray of this and beef broth. Also used ice cube tray for Jello. Drinking Premier Protein drinks. I also bought cocotein fruit punch flavor Water which I liked before surgery but now find super sweet. I'm doing better at getting all my Water in.

Still a little sore but I can't complain. Not really hungry which is so surprising to me. I still think about the junk foods now and then but it's not unbearable. I'm learning about my new little stomach, can't believe two ounces fills her up!

Having some issue with bruising and swelling where I'm taking blood thinner shots in my lower stomach. I was worried because there were hard nodules under these massive black and blue marks. I went into surgeons office to have them checked. They said I'm just a bleeder. But to put ice packs on them and watch to make sure they don't become painful. All my incision spots are looking good. I'm very happy with the surgeons work!

Weight was slow going first few days. Full of gas and fluids. They said it's normal. But I'm 12 lbs down since pre-surgery weight so I'm happy! Hope to hear from you all soon!!

Happychica101.... How are you doing?. Just thinking about you and the other late June surgery buddies!

We are 3+ weeks out. I'm still on puréed foods. 2 oz. three times a day. Sometimes I feel a little down because food was a big comforter to me. But it passes. I'm feeling so much better every day. I'm drinking two premier Proteins a day and taking my Vitamins so all is well. Clothes getting loose. Down. 31 lbs. Yay!

Hope everyone is doing good and hope to hear from you soon!!

        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
