I am back online after my Oct 7 sleeve. I had a late surgery. Got to my room about 9:00PM and discharged the next day at 4:00PM.

No real issues. I have not gotten my Vitamins yet. Hopefully today.

I am on Clear Liquids til tomorrow. Not hitting my Protein the past couple of days. I am drinking Isopure Protein Drinks and Water so far. I have tried some broth and sugar free ice pops and Jello, but protein is my priority.

Then I can get strained Soups and protein drinks.< /p>

My 5 incisions are healing nicely.

Been walking indoors since it has been 100 degrees for a couple of days.

My most helpful items in the hospital were gas x strips, heating pad, eye shade/mask and a toothbrush (to help me gag to burp).

Monday is one week and meet with the surgeon. I can add in more meal items like creamed Soups and V8. Cleaned the garage today and over did it. Paying the price tonight. Tried to do to much. Laying low and watching the movie Wild.

I don't think its strange that you are posting here, I think its great to have you here. Its rare to find someone banded 4+ years, and I think your experience is a valuable addition. We can always use more banded (and bandwannabe's) men in our discussions. (Ladies please don't be offended by me saying that;) ) Welcome Malcolm, good luck on your port replacement.

        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
