I'm a week post op as well. Down 6 lbs (not including the weight fainting the op IV fluids). What are you doing about the gas pains? I'm having them as well.

I felt great after about 6 days. I'm 6 weeks post op and still have yet to be nauseous, throw up, etc. I just moved to no restrictions on 9/15 and so far, I've tolerated everything I've tried. I think we are the rule and not the exception. IMO, it seems much more unlikely to have a bad recovery than it does to have a great one.

I'm on day 6 and I'm a bit more sore today than I was yesterday, but I pushed myself a bit yesterday afternoon with extending my walks and shooting for 3 miles. No biggie - the dilaudid mixes well with my morning coffee. ;)
I've had no issues with fluids or shakes (or even thicker shakes blended with ice for a Protein milkshake type of thing). I feel amazing. And the scale showed another 1.5 pounds down from yesterday.

Hi- I am 6 days post op and am in about the same boat. I feel good. I am maybe a little more uncomfortable when sitting at my desk which I need to do for 8 hours a day. I have gone back to work full time since I can work at home while I sip my constant liquids. :) I am not hungry either but I like the term head hunger. That is a great way to describe the desire for pepperoni pizza that I have every now and then still.

I am working on just sipping my liquids but I gave up on using the little cup. I found that 3 small sips was equal to the cup. But I don't always wait the 15 min. Is that okay or could I already be stretching my sleeve?

I am getting 30 grams of Protein but only taking in about 200-300 calories. Is it okay that I have lost 12 pounds in 6 days?

My energy is decent but I do get a little light headed on the treadmill. Not doing a ton but trying for 10 min twice a day.

Thanks for any advice. :)

        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
