Sorry to hear about your pain. I can relate. Today has been a much better day for me. Sending you all hugs and healing energy.

This is all just temporary.

How is everyone recovering? I still have awful belly gas, but otherwise I'm ok.

My surgery was 3/31 and today is the first day I feel ok....I got the first full nights sleep in 4 days so I'm sure that have something to do with feeling better. Every sip hurts and taking pills hurts even more. Every day I hope to feel better.

I feel good. I've never been so grateful to pass gas though. I'm struggling with the chewable Vitamins and need to find some that taste better. Iced herbal mint tea has been wonderful to soothe my stomach, and I've been working hard to meet my Protein and Fluid intake goals. My kids came to visit and made the last few days so wonderful; they all waited on me, brought takeout of my favorite Soup and made sure I had plenty of fliids. We went for walks and I just felt so supported. I feel pretty good overall. I'm just trying to be kind and gentle to myself during this period. Gonna spend this next week focusing on exercise and meeting my nutritional goals.

I'm really amazed at how I feel when reading others post. The first day was horrible I said why did I do this to myself. Second day a little better. By the third day I felt normal I couldn't believe it. I didn't have gas pain at all but I did suffer from some burning up under my apron belly with a funny odor. I think the stuff they give us to wash before surgery was not right for me...it was chloride wash.

So my husband had his sleeve done yesterday...He is hanging in there. In prep and holding I got to talk to Dr Peters and he asked me how I was... I told him I was struggling with crushing the meds and basically wasn't taking my pills. He said, "oh we are starting to tell people to just take them now and not to crush them...the ursodial is big so break it in half and take half in morning and half at night"... Don't get me wrong, I am THRILLED! But geez, what a difference a week makes... I was sleeved exactly 1 week prior... So there you have it... I was so scared of getting a leak from heaving and throwing up from trying to swallow crushed pills... Can go back to my pills and so so so need my antidepressant...been getting harder and harder to get off the couch!

  • @Phillygirl_in_DE awesome...and I bet you are happy to be moving on to pureed! So I completed my pre-op items but was awaiting the sleep apnea results. They called me today and said I had severe sleep apnea (63 events per hour, 83 when on back) so I have to get a CPAP. I called the surgeons office and seems they just need some info from my doctor before submitting to insurance. So hopefully a surgery date is coming soon!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
