The BEST feeling in the world post op!



Recommended Posts

I'm one week post op and my happy moment is that I haven't had the first back pain since surgery despite not having any anti-inflammatories that I was taking daily before surgery!!

Best feeling in the world was seeing my shadow today and it looked noticeably thinner and less lumpy around the sides. .. then i caught my reflection in the glass doors at work and saw that my legs were getting thinner too...

I thought... hey sexy thang!! Looking good... lol

And thats only at a 22 pound loss!! Imagine when i get to goal!!

I am only a week out, but I have a few that will be my "best feeling ever"

Being able to fit on all rides at an amusement park

Wearing clothes that dont have a 2 in front (unless its a size 2....LOL.)

Being in "onederland"!! I might cry when I finally see that 199, lol

My very best post-op moment is being able to relax.....totally relax......and enjoy nekkid time in a way I haven't in years.

No concerns or fears over where her hands may go.....I was proud of every bit of it. I've never been proud of that state before......now.....I am very relaxed and no fears exist.

TMI ? Possible.....but who has time for PC bullshyt in their post-op lives. It'a all about getting on with the LIVING.

LIVE peoples......I beg you.

Definitely not TMI! I totally understand where you are coming from. Even after being married for 26 years, I'm still very self conscious of my body and all its lumps and bumps. My husband accepts me for who I am, but I've always been rather shy where my body is concerned.

My husband has lost over 80 lbs in the last 4-5 years, and his body has certainly changed as well, but we accept those changes lovingly with each other, and being comfortable in your own skin is so very important.

Live on Dub!!!

I have another one - NOT sweating so much! It used to take NOTHING for me to break a sweat and then it wouldn't stop. Now I have to work pretty hard to sweat!

Ditto on the sweating thing. One of my wishes for after surgery was that I wouldn't be so hot all the time. Was so tired of sweating all the time! Literally the first night home after surgery, I woke up in the middle of the night and was freezing! Freezing to the point of teeth chattering, shaking too. Had to grab another blanket! Since that night, I don't sweat nearly as much as I used to. Now the only time I really sweat is when I'm actually active and working hard. That's the way it should be!!!

        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.

      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
