Nurse thinks I might have developed a lactose intolerance since the surgery so I'm going to cut out the chobani drinking yoghurt and see if that helps

I'm not taking endone, haven't since I was discharged on sat. I'm surviving on neurofen and panadol. And I'm eating baby food for my meals, it's so easy, portion controlled.

I was having Soup but I found I was eating too much and it was hurting. So got onto the baby food, nurse suggested it as another patient had done it and it's just so much easier!

Oh it hurt to cough or breath deeply for about a week for me. I'm waiting at dietician to hopefully progress to mushy food!! I went for a walk yesterday, did about 500metres and I was out of breath. Crazy! Saw my GP last night she said that's expected after surgery. So I'm going back to walk the same lake today and see how far I get this time.

I'm only taking 1 endone at night and that's to help me sleep on my side. But tonight I'm going to try no endone and see how I go

I had one or two bouts of nausea but I managed it ok. It DEFINATELY does get better. I'm two weeks post surgery tomorrow and feeling pretty good! Just make sure you keep taking painkillers on a regular basis, that was my downfall. I'd wait till I was sore then I'd take painkillers

I ended up with a hernia being operated on too, so might have been why I was tender across my diaphragm area

      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.
