I've got a killer headache and since my family is pigging out on thin crust pizza (my fav!) I'm going to go take a bubble bath! Ha!

I am getting nervous. I need to stay off Google...lol

How did you make out Imready2015?

My surgery took a little longer than expected and I lost some blood bc my spline was attached to my stomach and they had to detach it first. A little sore today especially where they removed the drain line near the spline. I'm tolerating Clear liquids really well, gas pain not bad at all. Feeling much better than I expected!!

I am doing ok...I am sore for sure. Bloated from the gas and that was pretty painful. The had to hold off my diet because I had not had my leak test until this morning. Waiting for my tray now :)

How is everyone doing? I slept in the recliner my first night home then tried the bed last night. Came down to t h e recliner about 4am. I have not taken any pain meds yet today cuz I don't want to be sleepy and groggy on Christmas Eve. I'll probably take it before bed tonight. Tolerating liquids just fine. Just can't get that Protein in. I ended up buying New Whey shots that have 42g of protein and i can hold my nose and choke it down. But I will only be able to do that once a day. Otherwise healing well. Took a shower this morning which felt so good!

Feeling very lucky to tolerate liquids just fine. Still a little short of my Protein goal but def getting in all of my liquids! I'm either reclined in the bed or what my husband calls "wandering" around the house. Went for a nice long stroll today with my 2 kiddos! Felt great but once I got home it was like any energy I had was just gone! I rehydrated and needed a nap. No real pain. Just some soreness which gets better by the hour! Still in a bit of shock that it's over with and that I did it! Hope you have a great Christmas...it's a new beginning for sure!

I feel the same way. Tolerating liquids very well. Just sounds like I have aliens living in my belly. Very noisy and kinda comical. Having a real problem with Protein because all of the clear protein is disgusting. Can't wait until I can have Protein Shakes again. 2 more days!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
