Had My Surgery Tuesday August 25th



Recommended Posts

Y

I had surgery the 19 and have not had one issue with my recovery. I lost quite a bit of weight during my 8 months insurance preop but have not lost a huge amount since and it seems disappointing. I eat so little that I was hoping it to come off as fast as I could put it on in the past.

Have others had these issues? Weight loss before and slow loss after?

Just had 1 week check up and they were so happy I had no issues at all.

yea I was sleeved 8/27 only lost 15 since and now I'm stuck.

25th here. I think just concentrating on healing the pouch...fluids. ..70 grams Protein. ..walking tons is my new intention. The weight will come off guys. ..I made a few little bad bites cause I am so Fricking hungry since 5 days post op and literally fell on floor puking. It takes 3 months to heal the staples from surgery..6 month's for some. Its hard to get 70 grams of protein in.....hate Soup now. Lol

I was on the 25th. I was on a stall for 7 days. During that stall I lost inches!! I've gone down 2 inches in my waist and one clothes size! The scale is moving in tenths now. I can advance to soft foods in 2 more days and am going to travel to visit my mom for a week. It's about 800 miles by car. Surgeon said I have to get out and walk every hour. I am so greatful that I've had a smooth recovery. Loving this sleeved life! Glad to hear most are doing well and progressing along!!

        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
