The walking makes me feel better personally. I feel great. Yea my nurse said I'm a model patient lol she said usually people are not up walking till that night or the next day. I have taken a total of six walks now trying to walk every hour. I haven't slept since I woke up from surgery. Lol.

Genn, what was it like going back to work so soon? I am scheduled for bypass on December 19th and planning on going back to work one week later. I personally think I'll be fine because I think I lean more towards how you did and want to be up right away and doing as much as I can to get back on my feet. Everyone around me seems to think that's way too soon to go back. I work a desk job, mostly, so I think it would be fine but your input would sure be helpful.

Honestly a desk job I think I will be fine I run my own daycare so I'm chasing little kids all day ages 5 months to 3 years old Plus I have three kids of my own ages 7,10,13. My morning starts at 5 am and I'm never even go to lay down until 1130. Between cleaning kids homework baths job dinner dishes laundry I expected to be completely wiped out. And I feel great!!! Alittle sore when bending but otherwise no complications no exhaustion. No nausea. I think as long as u have no complications at all u shld be fine I had the bypass done. You will have to keep me updated on how you do. Best of wishes U will do great!!!

        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
