Thanks!!! Im super excited, but nervous because it doesn't work out with my husbands work schedule. He works a double shift that day, and an early single the next day. So he's upset that he can't be there for me. But this is super important to me and the sooner the better!!!

Absolutely!!! I'll be on here up until they make me put my phone away, and then right after surgery when I'm ok enough to get it back! Lol.

Ugh, so my surgery went well, no complications, but since I've been home, I have been in so much pain. The gas pain right Fter surgery was killing me. I had to get up and walk like 5-10 laps every hr to try to burp out the gas from anesthesia. I have a stomach binder on, which I think is helping a lot, but I still can't sleep on my sides and I'm a side sleeper!!! I have to sleep propped up on my back and I still wake up every hr. The coughing from the breathing tube feels like my sleeve is about to burst. I know it wont, but it totally feels that way. I'm having a bit of trouble getting my protonix pill down, as well as my Dilaudid pills. They keep getting stuck in my throat. I was able to sip on Water, and have an ounce of sugar free Jello, but other than that, I can't drink fast enough, I'm always thirsty.

Anyways, hope everyone is doing well.

Glad your surgery went well. Sorry to hear about the discomfort-hopefully it will go away soon. People seem to say the first few days are difficult but maybe by the weekend you will feel better.

I'm glad you are being positive about the surgery even with the discomfort. It shows you will do well.

I worry about pills because I have a hard time now...can't imagine how it will be after the surgery.

Grats on your surgery!! I know it's a bit too late for you, but I'd seen in a video how you can use gas-x strips to try and relieve the gas after surgery.

Geh on the pills. That's one part that worries me also! Is it any easier to take them one-by-one?

Ehhh the pills are horrible. They aren't too big though, so I just make sure to wet my tongue first, then place 1 pill as close to the back of my throat as I can, and then sip just enough to get it down. I only do 1 at a time or else they get stuck. My friggin Vitamins are the worst though. They are so gross. And big and chalky and way too sweet. So gross. I am able to drink a bit more now, so I'm not dehydrated anymore. I've been drinking Miso Soup which has helped so much with my Sore throat.

Went to support group and found it very beneficial. Most of the people were pre-op but the post-op people provided a lot of valuable information, as did Liz who was the moderator. Really glad I went.

I was going to go to the Vacaville Support Group today, but I am still in too much pain to drive, so I'll be going to the next one instead.

Hmm, which Vitamins did you get that are so gross? Glad to hear it's getting easier to get hydrated though!

I have the Centrum adult chewables, and the chewable Iron from Celebrate. Those are what my NUT recommended. They are just too sweet for me. I also don't like the Caramel Calcium Citrate Chews for the same reason.

      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
