We are surgery sisters. Mine was the 16th as well but I'm not in as good of shape with pain management.

WELL I've lost 14 lbs. The slower I sip they say the less the pain will be I don't feel like I've lost anything but that scale made me happy. The stomach incisions don't bother me at all. I guess it's the behavior mods

I could have stayed 2 nights but I wanted to go home. I had a very early 6am arrival 730 am surgery so really it was like I was there 2 days since left at 7pm following day. First day rest and a few walks, 2nd day early in day leak test then broth Jello ice chips a few times that day. Rest walking bathroom. I was on Fluid iv drip entire time which meant bathroom every 1-2 hours practically. I was able to go on my own they just stay outside bathroom to make sure you don't fall. Happy to be home in own bed without as much noise as hospital !

Good luck today Suzzzz! Had my surgery on Tuesday the 21st. I also had a hernia that they found and fixed. I was nauseous, in a bit of pain in the top part of my stomach and a good deal of pain in my left shoulder. Was on IV drip the entire time in the hospital so had to pee constantly and every 2.5 or 3 hours a walk about the floor. Couldn't sleep between the bed, the peeing and the constant vital checks. I had to stay in an extra day because I had an allergic reaction to one of the meds they gave me and I needed to get in more Water. I didn't want a single thing. They did a dye test while I was knocked out in the surgery and I did not have another leak test following that one. I was very happy with the ice chips. Get your ice chips! Walk walk walk. The walking eases the pain in your shoulders and your stomach so move. fart, burp and ride the hiccups. It all helps it go away. I have a sore throat and am coughing up a little phlem from the tube. Home today and still on Clear Liquids and don't want them but trying. Tomorrow full liquids. Can't imagine I will want that either but have to push and have to take meds so I'll have to make it work. My stomach hurts today drinking the Water. Do not want. I will get it in as I don't want to go backwards. Gained water weight from the IV drip I think as I came out weighing more than I did when I went in.

        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
