I'm a month out and am still cranky but not as sore. Week one was horrific 2 was such a slight bit better I couldn't tell. It gets a little better when u come off the liquid diet. I've cried almost every day since surgery. I hate to have such discouraging things to say but I'm being honest. I wish I found the honesty from others before surgery. I hope things get better for u as quick as possible.

I am so happy you are being honest with me. I thought there was something wrong with me. Your so called "discouraging things to say" just encouraged me! Thank you and good luck to you!

Thank you. I'm glad I could help someone. I've been scalded on other so called support groups for being honest about my post op experiences because I say I regret doing it and would never ever recommend it to anyone. I have found more information on this app than I did during my research or was told by any dr or nutritionist. If I knew then what I know now....

2 days out I was still in the hospital and happily drugged????

By the 4th day though, I was back home and in severe pain. Severe to me since I've never had major surgery before.

I've cried countless times. I already have anger issues and they probably got 5x worse after the surgery lol I was unhappy on the liquid phase and felt I had made a big mistake, but one month out.... I can tell you things get better.

I still have a little bit of pain in my stomach but I'm certainly not sore anymore and feeling good despite everything. I'm now on solid foods and actually had a fit because it still does get hard to choose the right foods and making sure I'm eating enough calories / but not going over.

It is stressful especially the first few days after surgery, you will get through it though. I know some days you will feel like you can't go on, but keep going, and soon the bad will be so far behind us.

I was still in the hospital the second day as well. So it's normal to be irritable and sore two days out.

Yes that's totally normal. Your body just went through a lot. Be kind to yourself.... It gets better each day.

Days 2-4 were my worst days. On day 2 I felt as bad as I did when I had the hysterectomy. This is all normal; you just had part of your stomach amputated. Once you get up and start moving more you'll probably begin to feel better.

First 5 days were miserable! Kept asking myself why I had done this. Day 6 things starting getting better

I was also in the hospital on day 2 - my surgeon makes all his patients stay 2 nights. I was uncomfortable to say the least. I didn't have much pain but really cranky.

It took about 4 weeks before I started not being totally exhausted. I'm in week 7 and still kind of cranky though. And I still don't have a whole lot of energy.

      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.

      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.
