No none of those problems. Your body and mind are healing. Be patient with yourself.

I have surgery on the 8th and am still hurting but I haven't experienced a change on my taste buds, however I feel full of gasses, and crave a lot of things but haven't eaten none.

It is is good to talk to someone that is experiencing the same. What about the drinking and eating? It's been hard trying to get everything down

I have a very difficult time getting the three meals in they want me to do. I've broken into six very smaller meals. Yes, I still crave the crap I use to eat. It's been almost a month since I had the R&Y switch.

I am just starting this journey and it's not easy, now I noticed that I want to cook everything I crave for my family and even thinking about making pies for thanksgiving. At least by then I will be purée and I will be able to taste turkey

I'm fortunate. The only one to cook for is myself. I have not caved to any of my cravings. This surgery has put the stop to that nonsense. Haven't even had coffee since my surgery. And I was hard core addicted to my coffee. I pray it all gets easier.

That's really good! I have to say I am doing good too, having my family eating regular food around me don't even want to make me give in. This was a lifetime changing for me and I know is going to get easy for us.

Luckily I have never liked the taste of coffee so that helps but I have four young sons ages 4-7 so it's no fun smelling all that yummy food they want to eat all the time. Lol. I'm sure it will get easier as I heal. Between the pain meds, blood thinner shots, trying to walk each day, drink enough Water, and eat on time... it's quite the process.

My incisions look great but they are sore and are starting to itch.

My incisions are good. One is a little sore, the only place I bruised was on my left side. I went through a lot before my R&Y was done. I went to my primary care she referred me to a wonderful surgeon. She found I had cancer in my stomach. Then she found I have NASH. Non alcohol related cirrhosis if my liver. I had numerous minor surgeries before this. Once I was under she decided to remove the stomach. It was pretty rough the first few days. But I have lost 27 pounds since the surgery.

Wao! Bless your heart. I haven't really noticed any weight lost yet but like 2 lbs because I am swollen a little. The doctor repair two hernias at the time of surgery but that's nothing compared to yours.

I drink a lot of Water and I've made myself walk if I feel like it or not. Lol Time for me to hit the bed. I wish you continued success. Don't get down on yourself. I'm kind of liking this app!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
