Hi sunsetsue, I hope you're feeling better. Last night I had grumpling discomfort. Panadol Syrup and oxycodone are such pain to swallow. But I managed to drink Water despite the pain.

yeah i struggle to keep it down. but i guess because he did hiatus hernia repair as well i feel it is trapped inside. it hurts a lot after though. until its effect. I think you need some IV meds until your swelling go down and be safe to swallow liquid. It is ok.. they need to be flexible based on every individual. you will get there on time.

my surgeon came by and said I can go home. waiting for them (2hrs) to take the drip away and i'm quite thirsty so want to trickle some liquid in.

I feel a little better but still in a lot of pain. I make sure to walk as much as I can. I threw up a few times from the nasty taste of repetitive pain killers. I'm home now.

I've just had a walk in the mall for shopping. Tired and resting every 10-15min but still managing to do it.

Just Bought some Protein powder to add on on my Protein drinks for top up. I'm cleared for shakes and low fat milk as well as diet cordial and tea or coffee. Don't know how can I get them in. One shake takes me 4-5hrs to drink and I feel so full. But I know the Protein for faster healing and energy regeneration. I don't have surgical pain now. Just exhaustion. I think I had a good surgeon. It is day 4 post op. I only had paracetamol once today. But need to keep up with fluids. It is a challenge.

        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
