I am doing well. The gas pains haven't been too bad until today. Still not overly painful but I think it's all trying to escape now. We have been taking lots of walks. My two year old just bumped my side with his knee and that hurt. Poor thing didn't mean to. Other than that I am just trying to get Water and Protein Shakes down. When do you go home?

the night of surgery wasn't bad even yesterday was cool as far as pain has yrs bug not unbearable. Today..OMG...woke up feeling like I was in a fight with body shots being thrown and I didn't win, lol. Everything hurt like hell. I'm on liquid pain meds now. No more I.V. meds. Started puree's today also. Could only eat a couple forks. It tasted really good but jus couldn't eat it. The doc mentioned me going home today but not sure yet... I hope you are doing better.

Lucky you! I'm still on liquids! I'm ready for some soft foods. The gas pains are still bad but I'm walking, walking, walking! I know how you feel though. You start to feel good then BAM...not so much! I hear that a week out we will feel better. Not 100%, but better.

hi, im feeling better this morning happy to be home in my own bed. The gas pains are minimal i feel them and hear the gas racing around my stomach but no pain from them. I can definitely tell when the pain meds are wearing off. I am happy to be on pureed although i cant eat that much it was hearty. Still sticking with my broths. They are heaven warm & hearty. Been working on my Protein Shakes as welln& Water. I got a lecture from my surgical team about dehydration and i dont want that. Hope things are good with you, relaxing, healing & resting at home.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
