I had my surgery on the 16th. I've been taking short walks... my doctor used the 4,5,6... walk 4-5 times for 6 minutes each time.

I have had that shooting pain on my left side too.

Last night I took a Gasx, and in the middle of the night I 'released' plenty of that gas HAHAHA...it actually woke me up, and I was impressed with the amount that 'left' :o

I keep trying to concentrate on the fact that I am able to hold liquids down, drink my little 4oz Protein shakes, and haven't opened the bottle for nausea. I figure the pain in my stomach, mostly on my left side, will heal.

Hang in there!

I hope you're feeling better today! I think I overdid it earlier today, and the existing pain in my left side radiated through to my back. I took a pain pill, put my heating pad behind me on the recliner, and took a nap. It felt much better when I woke up :)

This part is tough, but honestly it's just our bodies healing, and trying to get rid of that gas they blow us up with...

As long as you are drinking and getting your Protein in, then you know you're doing a great job (of course, if any pain lasts too long, you should definitely call the doc)

Just get some pain killers for the first couple days after surgery, after 5-6 days, your body will tell you that you don't need anymore and from that time onwards, everything will goes fine. Just a matter of time.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
