Recommended Posts

I am5 days out from surgery and feel great! Energy is great and I had no complications or problems following surgery. Keeping up with fluids is not an issue and have felt no pain with drinking at all. So excited for what's ahead

wow - so happy things are going nice and smooth :rolleyes:

it good for newbies to hear other newbies success early PO

OP (newbies) seem to hear/remember bad stories/problems

then they get nervous/scared

hopefully many newbies are reading your words

seeing your easy recovery (drinking going well too)

you are understandably excited/looking forward to things

you can only imagine what's in store for you next

i'm gonna keep it a secret

you'll be amazed at all your NSV's (non sleeve victories)

ie riding an airplane without a seat extender!!

good luck

I'm hoping for surgery in June '17. I wish it could be sooner, but I can't take time off from work, and I am off all Summer, so it seems like the best choice. I love hearing about these great experiences! I go back and forth worrying and feeling confidant. I hope I have a great experience.

Char3672, take this time to prepare your body and mind. I went 6 months preparing and I'm glad I did.. it will be worth it..I'm 18 days out and doing good. No cravings and I've been out to eat with the family and it doesn't bother me at all, which is a good thing for me. I either eat what I can off the menu or I always have a bag of stuff with me that I can eat..it's been great..

I CAN'T wait to get started. I'm supposed to make my first appt with my coordinator in Jan. I wish it was tomorrow. I always read the posts on here, and I started reading The emotional first & aid kit. A practical guide to life after bariatric surgery. I want to learn everything I can

I am so excited to START living. I have already missed out on so much.

I was sleeved 10/12 and I am having an exact opposite experience. I struggle to force myself to do anything, I have this awful rumbling air/gas thing going on which causes terrible pressure against my breast bone, and it hurts every time i sip anything. Each day is better than the last, but I'm still miserable.

Everyone's journey is so different. Very ready to start feeling better.

HW 427 SW 358

sleeved 10/12/16

I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday.

Sounds like me! I'm a month and some change post-op and I honestly don't remember ever feeling this good. I've dropped 50+lbs since the start of the liquid diet pre-op and the weight is falling away. It's pretty f-ckin' awesome, yeah?

        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
