Surgery is now behind me, yay! I am so surprised how tired I was. The end thesis took till about midnight to wear off enough for me to get up and walk. I would fall asleep within a minute of waking and I just could not seem to get myself together! The nausea after is the worst! A combo of not eating and the meds left me feeling like I would hurl any moment. But I never did! I just kept sleeping so that I wouldn't have to deal with it.

After about 4 I refused the pain meds because I really was not hurting and I think that contributed to my nausea.

About 11 ish I guess, I got up and walked around the floor. That was a piece of cake! It's now almost two am and I am awake.. Ready to get moving! Lol

There truly is no hunger or hunger pains after surgery which I am thankful of. Should be moved to Clear Liquids in the morning. So far so good guys!

Hello....I am post op day 3. I am starting to feel human today. I only spent one night in the hospital. Came home and went to bed. Only got out of bed to pee. My pain is under control, but I do think I am having some reflux problems. I did have a hernia repaired and the doc told me that may cause some discomfort and to take it slow.

I am starting Protein shakes today. I hope I can handle them okay.

Good luck to everyone!

I'm POD 2 heading home today also found a huge diaphragmatic hernia and repaired it at the same time. Had some issues with gas but tolerating clears just some with ascorbic acid seem to make my tummy burn so I have avoided some of those and stuck to Water and broth and sugar free Popsicles. So far those go down well not so great with Jello yet. So taking it slow. Have had to dilute the Isopure can't have it straight.....they said first week is about hydration so not as worried about getting all the Protein in but hydrating the first week.

(Warning TMI)Has anyone else experienced the Constipation? !? I was doing great! Very minimal pain, able to move and resume light activity. Until this afternoon, I went to the restroom and I am telling you it was 1 1/2 hours of earth shattering pain! Worst feeling ever!! It was so hard and so large that I could not pass it. An enema and a lot of screaming later it finally passed some.. I had hubby run to Walgreens and pick up Miralax to take. Gosh I hope the worst is behind me!!!

So if this hasn't happened yet.. I recommend taking miralax now!!!

        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
