Feeling much better today! The day after surgery is extremely uncomfortable! I really suggest that if you're going to have this surgery, please stay in the hospital for at least 2 days! Don't rush to go home. Stay in the hospital and let the nurses take care of you until you feel good enough to leave. I came home the day after surgery and I felt like crap! Extremely nauseous and I had horrible gas and hiccups! Today I feel much better! So my advice is, stay in the hospital for at least 2 days

Hi guys, today was my day three and I'm finally home. Past two days were miserable but it gets better! Today passed gas 15 times yes, I'm counting, and now I feel so much better. Also I had Water, 1/4 shake and hot peppermint tea and I burped 3 times in a row after the tea, and now I feel much better.

The hard part is the gas, try to walk around if you can and drink Water. That funky feeling in your tummy is gas trying to get out, but once you get it out, drinking gets easier. If you drink it will help with the gas in your track, so keep trying until the gas is out!

I'm struggling with the liquids as well. I had my surgery yesterday and I feel great just my legs hurt. The gas haven't hit me yet but I'm sure it will.

I just had my surgery 12 hours ago and I feel pretty good. At check in the nurses gave me a sea sick patch you put behind your and that helped a lot! After surgery upon waking from surgery I had a hard time breathing on my own after be under sedation. Felt like I was trying to breath through a straw but it did get easier over 30 minutes or so in. I have a sore raspy voice. Pain meds I'm on are dilaudid but that made me itch like crazy so they switched to torodol. Weird thing is I've been hungry all day. I can have ice chips and I had to swallow a pill with a tiny amount of Water and I've had zero nausea and tiny bit of incision pain. I do wish I could pass gas because that is uncomfortable. I also have the bed setting up a medium amount because that seems to help my discomfort. I'm going home after a night in hospital because I'm just not getting rest here. I have the gastric stomach test in the AM to check for leaks, will eat broth for first time in the afternoon and if I can tolerate that I can go home. Don't sweat the surgery y'all. I was stressing myself out and it wasn't that bad. Flu feels much much worse. Lucky me, I get to go home to 15 out of town in law family that are here for my daughters graduation and I'm throwing a party this Saturday with a ton of yummy food I can't eat???? Now that is pain! Lol

Good luck to everyone! ????

        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!

      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
