Doing well here. My main incision is sore, and still have some gas pains but other than that I felt good.

Occasionally have some pain when drinking water/jello, but nothing unmanageable.

After I take sips of Water, it causes horrible spasms & pain in my stomach! The first night I kept dry heaving & thought I was gonna rip open my staples!!!!! I just wanna feel normal again!!!! They are giving me Zofran & Toradol around the clock! Prayers to all!

You should have thrown your phone at your snoring husband and reminded him that he was there to support you, not drive you to distraction!

Surgery ended up being at 12 today. I had and still have lots a trapped gas. Been walking and it's helping a bit, but that is the majority of my pain. The pain med I have is making me super nauseous and the zofran that is suppose to dissolve under my tongue isn't dissolving very well and is making my nauseous. Husband is snoring like a crazy person
All in all, I feel ok

ckcford, any news? Hopefully your are feeling at least a smidge better.

Feeling better today. Have gotten NO Protein down, but am sipping Water and sugar free apple juice which tastes amazing. Haven't needed much pain medication today, but the incisions burn a bit. Feeling ok.

Hey Everyone! Happy New Year! I just toasted in the new year with some Powerade Zero, haha. I've been sipping and sipping and walking and walking. Gas pains are all gone, but the fact that every single time I take a sip and it sits right above my stomach before it 'flushes' into it is bothering me like crazy. No sharp pains, just dull soreness. I'm dying to take a solid sip of Water without having to sip.

@ fatchick84

I have lidocaine gel that I put around the incisions. Helps with the burning.

They kept me in the hospital 2-nights & I asked to come home today... So I'm finally home! But I still have lots of pain & what seems like painful spasms on & off?!?? I don't know if that's gas or something else! I still haven't been able to get much down because as soon as it hits my stomach it's painful! The smell of broth Makes me nauseated!!!! I'm hoping I can get down some Protein Shake tomorrow so I can start getting Protein in! ????????????????????????

I hope you all are doing great! Blessings!!!

Hi Guys! I am being sleeved on Jan 14th. I am really getting nervous. For all that have had the procedure done, was it worth it? Any regrets?

        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
