All packed and ready. Surgery is at 7:30. I feel like I should be more nerves. Not looking forward to the first few days. I did make a new friend Monday doing pre-op stuff. She

is having her surgery at 8:30. We will be the only two spending the night in the Surgery Center. Excited I will not be there alone.

It now Friday so I'm three days post-op. It was not as bad as I expected. Day one you feel like you have been hit by a linebacker. My lower back hurt when I woke up. Once I got to lay on my side it got better. The gas pains are the worst part. But if you walk the gas pains start to release. I haven't had any trouble getting down my liquids. I started my first Protein shake about an hour ago. I've got half of it down. I slept the whole time at the surgery center and most of Thursday. I've been up much more today. Haven't had any regrets yet. Just excited to start this new chapter of my life. I've decided not to weight till Wednesday.

The only surprise I had where the shots for blood clots. Luckily my aunt is a nurse.. So far she has done them for me.

Today is Sunday so I'm 5 days post op. I walked 2 miles this morning, much slower than normal but I still did it. I got 70 Proteins in today. I had super puréed Soup 2 -4 oz. I still have a little gas pain and now know what it feels like when I have over loaded my stomach,but I didn't throw-up. I am off pain meds. I had originally planned to go back to work Tuesday after Labor Day but changed it to Thursday. I will enjoy me extra days and get caught up on personal items.

      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. 🤞
