Good luck and speedy recovery to everyone having their surgery!

I didn't drive for four weeks. I had a great recovery but didn't realise how exhausted I would be and only really started feeling more energetic on week six. Everyone is different though, so just see how you go and listen to your body and take heed to what it's telling you.

Clear liquids today. Darn it, I didn't search for iso-pure clear Protein drinks ahead of time! Neither my grocery store nor the pharmacy had them so I guess it's just tea and Water for me today. I don't want to have any sugar like Popsicles because it'll make me starving! it's always easier for me to fast then to do anything moderate. ha ha but ouch the detox headache is severe. Already packed so not much to do but lounge anyway.

Counting down the hours! By this time tomorrow I'll be recovering. Weeeeee!

Scheduled for 7:30am tomorrow. Excited yet anxious, also curious as to how things will go tomorrow. So ready to get my journey started.

My surgery is tomorrow too. Hoping I can sleep tonight. Last night I was up and down all night. Good luck to everyone else having their surgery tomorrow. :) Excited (and a bit anxious) to get to the next step.

Safe and sound at home. No complications or pain just couldn't sleep at the hospital from all that waking me up every two hours.

I had my surgery Monday. Came home today. Pain has been fine, except for a couple coughing fits that were quite painful. My doctors diet calls for Clear Liquids, specifically 50/50 Water and juice or Gatorade/Powerade. No nausea or problems getting the liquids down. I was afraid to start taking my regular meds when I got home, but my BP was creeping up. I had 3 to take so I spaced them out and so far no problem getting them down. Kind of tired, but I figure getting some calories in will probably help with that. Plan to try to start some supplements tomorrow. Hope everyone else that had surgery this week is doing well.

I am glad to hear you are not in pain! I am hoping to get the sleeve in december and it is great to hear about your experience. I will be looking forward to your posts and hope you have a speedy recovery! :-)

      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.
