I came home yesterday. Not in a lot of pain, feeling pretty good. Just sip sippin trying to get that Water in. How are you feeling. I had 2 doses of pain meds at the hospital, then took some for the long ride home but was probably not needed.

Doing ok but not missing any pain meds. Each day I'm getting better and stronger.

I've been doing great recovery wise. Was supposed to start stage 3 today started yesterday. Anything I try is easy but don't think I eat as much as I should maybe why. A happy happy note yesterday the boyfriend became the fiancé. One issue left side abdomen pain. My pain has been great no meds really needed but 3 times since I had surgery a week ago, I've either turned over or trying to sit from laying position, left side a little below the waist line burns like fire. Only in the moment I move, a little tender after but felt literally like something tore. Anyone else?

Man oh man I forgot how hard it is to drink Water every 30 mins! It's always been an issue getting enough water in, but I forgot how little you are allowed to drink and how much you need! I need to get a timer... I'm already so over the 4 items I'm consuming..I shouldn't complain but hey, it's a forum so...there you go.

Hope all is well with y'all!

Still don't think I drink enough. Don't feel dehydrated at all but still. I get hungry like every 3 hours. I never really was hungry before surgery just ate a lot and loved lots of food. Great part now is 3 or 4 bites I'm good. We had a church dinner yesterday and thought that would be hard but got a bit of chicken to try and a few pintos. Really surprised

Surprised at the chicken going down, was my biggest fear, because so many people have troubles and its my favorite thing. Second surprise dinner wasn't like I dreaded. I fellowshipped more because I could use my mouth to talk and not stuff it. Surprised at people filling those plates didn't bother me. They gave me a big plate I exchanged for a dessert saucer, put my little dabs on it and was good to go. A sweet lady brought sf pudding as a dessert just for me and well anyone else too, mainly so I'd have something and the Pastor's wife had sf Popsicles too. I took a bit of pudding with me for last night. So it went great.

A timer sounds like a great idea! I use the one on my phone all the time. Thanks!

        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.

      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
