Hey there! And congratulations! I would follow the doctor's preoperative instructions. My surgeon had me take Multivitamins, drink three Premier Protein drinks a day, and all the green veggies (steamed or cooked). However, each doctor is different.

I had a very, very rough surgery to the point that they almost had to back out. they found out my intestines were stuck to my abdominal wall(?) while they were in there, so it didn't give them much wiggle room. I ended up having a 6.5 hour surgery instead of 4, and I had to stay in the hospital an extra night. I'm home now, and I feel amazing 9 days post op. the first 4 were rough, but after that I felt back to normal. I'm down 40 lbs since my 2 week pre op diet, and I'm losing every day.

@@Titaniumsleeved2014 I wish you the best!

is anyone else post-op having issues with not feeling full? they said they removed the part of my stomach that "makes you feel hunger" but my stomach still growls and I'm hungry. for only being able to eat 3-5 oz, I feel like I can eat so much more than that. it's making me nervous. other people have told me they're full after two or three bites.

Just an update! Had my surgery on Wednesday (they didn't get started til late). The hope was to go home yesterday, but I still hadn't passed any gas and was having a good deal of pain. This gas pain in the belly area is NO JOKE. But it's getting better and I hope to go home this morning.

No hunger at all, just some thirst. I'm already over Gatorade. lol

Overall, better than I expected.

Also: morphine didn't help much for me. The Dilaudid worked a little better. The pump has been stopped and I'm now on liquid painkiller.

Hey, my surgery was Wednesday as well they still have me on the pain pump although I rarely use it. My gas pains have been pretty bad too, I've been doing a lot walking but I've also been nothing by mouth until yesterday afternoon they started me on ice chips and popcicles... I have absolutely no appetite.

      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.
