Oh my gosh, me too! I have been absolutely miserable these past few days. I was sleeved on the 8th. My mom, who had the lapband, said it's probably due to detoxing all the yuck foods out of our systems. I feel like I'm on a bit of an upswing today. It's been really hard for me to get all of my Protein in too. I fill up so quickly.

Only thing Is i haven't had a BM yet.

Don't get me wrong , I still feel a little discomfort but not as bad as day 1 an 2

So it's bearable for me , I'm still careful on my movements knowing when my body says slow down sit a few mins

But getting some fresh air and walking a little at a time has made these two days easier to manage.

Hope I don't speak too soon and be sore tmw. Lol

I'll let y'all know.

It's been just over 48 hours now. It's getting better. Went home after 24 hours. Pain was horrible had some nausea. Haven't thrown up. Seem to be eating everything I'm suppose to. It's was painful to drink still have some issues but it's much better. Tummy is making huge rumbling noises right now hopefully that means I'll get to release. ( sorry been 3 days). Lol

Every day gets better and better. I've decreased pain meds and feel pretty good. Lots if tummy noises that my kids get a kick out of. Now I'm researching ideas for the next phase. I found a great blog with great ideas and recipes called world according to eggface. Check it out. I think the next phase lasting four weeks for me may be a bit of a challenge but challenge accepted.

Hello all! I was sleeved 12/5! I am having trouble getting in all my required Protein Shake and battling some dizzy but the meds are helping that. Where's everyone at currently? Can you see your weightloss? I got a small bit of anxiety at one point when I looked down at my arm and it was thinner. I have had long sleeves the last couple weeks and didn't pay attention so it seemed foreign for a moment!

My BM took several days then came out very unappealing. But definitely feels good for things to start moving in there! The apple juice helped spark mine

@H.150ToGo I was 12/8 I don't think you see the weight come off that fast. I've lost 70 in total (most pre-op) and no one has noticed. Lol are you still swollen? I am, that may be not helping with weight loss yet. I don't think I'm getting enough Protein yet just doing my best to drink and take Vitamins. So far no issues although worried about the Iron I'm about to take. When I was prego it would make me throw up. Fingers crossed!! I'm realizing smarter to add Protein Powder in yogurt or Soup will give me more for my bang but need to get unflavoured for soup. I think I got 60 think it's suppose to be 80. I also use soy milk to mix which has more protein then milk. It is hard

        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
