@@QueenBx, I'm hanging in there. I've been off course for about two weeks. I need to get back on track starting tomorrow. My last nut appointment is on Jan 5th. I have decided to change surgeons and surgerys. I'm going to Emory @ John's Creek with doctor Hart and getting gastric bypass.

My surgery date is January 19, 2017

Hoping I won't have a lot of pain, can anyone tell me what I will feel like right after surgery?

The pain for me is more like general discomfort all over abdomen and very tight with lots of noises. I am still taking pain pills for about 1-2 more days only (I had surgery on Monday 12/19 so only day 5 for me. It is a daily chore to get all the liquids and Protein down as you can only take 1-2 ounces at a time so I wake at 7:30am and work all day to get in everything every 15 mins using an alarm clock with reminders for when is Protein shake, Water, broth, Vitamins, etc as everything has to be paced out. Getting better day by day but good thing I will have 4 weeks off as this is like a job every day to follow the schedule and also to get two long walks in. I know it will get better each week as things normalize.

I had my surgery at 4pm on 12/19 and as soon as woke up tried to walk the floor every 3 hours and I was released on 12/20 at 2pm so not even 24 hours. I have no hunger so force myself to follow that schedule with the 4 ounces every 30 minutes.

        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
