It does get better everyday. The pain from the gas was probably the worst. I walked a lot and that helped immensely. That pain was gone in 4 days. I'm definitely sore, it feels like I did a million sit ups. I am been blessed as I have not experienced nausea or throwing up. I hate taking the Lovenox shots daily.

I have no problems getting my Protein or Water in.

All in all my experience has been mostly positive.

My surgery is on 12/29. I'm on day five of the two week Optifast diet. I've doing okay, but the only thing I have been craving is a piece of chicken. Does anyone else feel sort of mild nausea from Optifast? The ladies at work did a cookie exchange and gave me 4 dozen cookies! UGH! I had my husband take them to work with him. I wasn't tempted to eat any, so that was good!

The preop diet is hard!! I had my sleeve a week ago. I'm still on full liquids but it's so much easier now. My surgery went great and I feel awesome now!

      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. 🤞
