It does pass! I promise. But the best thing to do is to walk as much as possible. I also used chewable gas x too.

Things are good. I'm just sick of these liquids lol. I can manage colder drinks now, where initially it would cause me pain. I still get tired quickly and lightheaded if I do too much walking or standing. My bariatric partner says its normal because my calorie intake is soooo much lower. She says sip sip sip all day if I have to. As much as I need to. Just stay hydrated. I feel myself getting better and stronger each day. I'm using the bathroom good, even though I'm not eating. Who knew lol.

Looking forward to my 2 week post op appt so I can move on to the next two week diet which will be full liquids But at least I'll be able to have more things. I'll be on puréed/soft diet weeks 5 & 6. I'm bored, but I'm starting to appreciate the pace. Don't want to do too much too soon, allowing me to heal properly and get my new stomach used to this new life

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
