I feel really great. Probably about 95% back to normal. Today is my first day of purées and I feel brand new eating actual food!

Weirdly, my hunger never went away. It's not as intense as it used to be and of course is satisfied with a bite or two instead of a whole meal. Every day it gets easier and easier. You're still on full liquids? That's the hardest part.

Hi Bonniegold...I may have spoken too soon on feeling better on my 2nd week. I've been on an emotional rollercoaster from Sunday to Thursday. I think it was more noticeable after getting off the liquid pain med I was on. I'm feeling better today but my Dr and I realized I would not be able to return to work on Monday which will start my 3rd week post-op. He wants to allow more time for me to heal completely. Unfortunately, I wasn't one to bounce right back after major surgery. I know it will get better as time goes on.

      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.
