Hey everyone im Jocelyn im 26. my surgery was march 21st. I had bypass...im three weeks out and am down about 20 lbs. so far my recovery has been smooth with a little bit of bumps here and there. im currently transitioning from soft foods to regular...i having a bit of a rough time with this... Its hard for me to get enough Water and it seems like everything i eat is making me nauseous :/.

That's good you are down 20 lbs already! What have been your bumps if you don't mind me asking. I'm going thru a little something I consider kind of an issue right now and I would like to know your experience and how you got thru it so far. (I'm 25 and 5 days post op from the bypass btw.)

Well it started with a thrush infection on my tongue. then one of my incisions got infected two weeks out of surgery and now ov found what one of the surgeons I work with told me was a superficial thrombosed vein where I had my IV from the hospital..he said it would go away after time. For the past couple days dinner has been and issue for me. I have two small bites of Water and have to stop because I get sick and need to throw it up.

I'm sorry to hear about those unfortunately experiences. I guess mine is minute compared to yours. Water also makes me feel weird like it makes extra air in my stomach. Nothing else does it but Water what advise has your doctor given you to cope with this?

I'm sorry I meant food. I see my dietician on the 14th. and will ask her about the food but I think I'm going to stay on the soft foods for another couple of days.

      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
