Well that is tough, 2 oz every 15 minutes seems like a lot, i have trouble now with liquids. but i just gobble down the rest of my Water to catch up and i know i wont be able to do that once i have surgery. Have you been nauseous?

Only the first few days but it went away really fast. The pain meds they gave me I think would make me nauseous but cold cloth helped. hiccups are what are bad for me I hiccup a lot and makes me sore but I have always been a frequent hiccuper lol

Really not bad at all my back hurt a lot from laying flat for long time that was excruciating but after I got a heating pad it helped a lot just sore coughing and stuff not fun but you have to do it. Hug a pillow when you do helps immensely. Also I learned to hug my body pillow when I sleep that helps my stomach not hurt so much. But the pain was very very mild to what I thought they sent me home with stronger meds I used it for one day then used Tylenol for one now I don't need anything at all!

that is amazing, im hoping for a speedy and painless recovery, but my surgery is a little more entailed due to previous surgery on my abdomen, and a mesh they may need to cut thru to get to my intestines, so i may be in a bit more pain. But it sounds like usually the pain is bearable and minimal

hi! so im sorry you are stuck with 2 weeks of liquids ... yuck. i lost a lot of weight in one month so my dr said i am allowed to just do 7 days of liquids. i start tomorrow. Not looking forwards to it. Have you stared yet? I have very similar feelings, more so because my procedure is a higher risk due to previous surgery and some other complications. That's what has me very nervous, also i wont know if i get bypass or sleeve until after the surgery, since he will try his best to do bypass but i may have a ton of scar tissue that make it impossible to do the bypass.

I'm on day 5 of liquids... it's not that horrible... but I really notice all the food commercials, and it's hard watching my Gordon Ramsey shows lol. I did lose some weight, but I was just shy of only having to do a week of liquids.

You had me cracking up, I avoid tv for that reason, ever since i started to diet almost 2 months now. Those commercials are sooo tempting lol. Thats great that you only had to do 1 week of liquids. How have you been feeling energy wise? Also have you been walking yet?

        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
