Day 4 post surgery. I am feeling better everyday. I've lost the weight I gained in the hospital and an additional 4 pounds. No nausea or vomiting but I am using pain meds. Pain is not severe, more "uncomfortable". And I tire out quickly if I do a lot. How are you doing?

I was sleeved on the 28th as well. Thankfully not having any problems with drinking Water or Protein Shake other then I can only sip small amounts at a time. The worst part about it is the pain when getting up or sitting down but each day it is lessening.

I was sleeved on that day as well. I feel sore but all is well otherwise. The first night oat op was horrid such pain. I cried and thought I made a mistake. Today a few days later I'm better. Tie rating liquids well... About to be discharged in a few hours o begin my new life.

I feel excited and hopeful about the future..

Day six- off pain meds down from sw of 214 to 205. I feel hunger pangs but they are usually quelled by some Protein. I cringe when I get on the scale (out of habit.) I still expect to see no weight loss like my endless diets of old. Hope my September buddies are doing well.

      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.
