I was able to put on my own clothes yesterday but today has been amazing because Iv is completely out and I was able to shower .that was a lovely moment. Now I can run around with nothing attatched. The worst thing about this whole this is this horribly juicy cough .it hurts so dang bad to try to cough

Ok guys on night 3 soreness is starting to break reality has set in and now can't wit to see results!! How is everyone doing with the post op diet? I found muscle milk is great! It taste awesome too! chocolate that you mix yourself has a nutty flavor the banana is my all time favorite! It's light and just delish strawberry and cream is pretty good too! I am literally having to drink all day though to get in my 70-100g of Protein and 64oz of fluids. Had to take gas x today the gas was rumbling horrible my chest was hurting so bad because of it! Wondering too how well these six spots are going to heal up.... Still on pain meds to be safe hope to come off those by Wednesday though???? have to say I am doing pretty good! Hope all of you all are too!

This cough is still going to be the death of me. Coughing up some dark nasty stuff when it does come up but super painful and causes cramping after the fact. Pain is so so but most are just the crampy type pains that I'm getting after coughing. As far as the diet I'm still on full liquids (no Protein Shakes until Thursday. Before the surgery my fav. PProtein shake was Premier Protein ,boost and then the muscle milk. But I only like them room temperature,otherwise I think when they are cold it brings out a lot more of the Protein taste. If you have never tried premier ,do a searchonline and they will send you one for free also comes with a coupon. 30 grams of protein,5 carbs and I think it was 160 calories

        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.

      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
