Had my post op appointment today (surgery was Oct 14) I have a small infection on the incision from my drain hole but not major, he just said to keep it dry and covered. But I've lost 21 pounds since I start my liquid preop diet! So 21 pounds in 2 weeks :) makes everything worth it. And I also found a Protein Drink I actually like. Isopure zero carb drink. Comes in fruity flavors.

Great job on the weight loss!! Sounds like you are moving along!!! Glad the drain hole wasn't major, I didn't have one with my surgery.

Does anyone take Omega fatty acids in liquid form? I just about threw up when I took it this morning. Any tips?!

Great to hear about the weight loss! And thanks for the protein suggestion. I'm really struggling so I'm going to see if I can order than Isopure zero carb drink online.

So I am home, working on my 1st Protein Shake. I went to Vitamin shop and picked up samples. The Syntrex nectar chocolate truffle is yummy!

I am still in a lot of pain. I am hooked up to an On-Q pain pump. It's hard coming home because my 16 month old is rough and likes to jump all over me. So trying to keep her at bay.

I've heard from a lot of young mother's who are having the same problem with their little ones, she probably missed you while you were in the hospital! Sorry your having trouble with pain, do you think its the gas they pump inside of you? It does take a while to get rid of. The only thing that seemed to help me is the walking & I got some gas x strips which help with the other kind of gas. I think people who have a hernia repair have a little more pain with their surgery sometimes. Sending you hugs & prayers that you will get to feeling better soon!

Thank you. I am passing gas. But you are right about the hernia fix too. forgot about that. I was so out of it yesterday. I am not sure how much is gas vs pain from the inside. If that makes sense. I have been walking and I don't have gas in shoulders or anything.

I got to meet a fellow October patient from this board and that was cool!

      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
