I have made a note of the items listed by you and will make sure that I take a walk as much as possible.

I will keep you guys posted. Thank you for the support and being there for me! Appreciate the same.

Up- And DON'T be alarmed about weight gain. Its just Water weight it will come off. Mine took a week. Your on a IV. I have my 1 month post-op on Monday. And I lost a total of 14lbs since I started the liquid pre. My cloths fit normal instead of feeling like I an going to burst out of them. I am happy with the slowness of the weight loss. Its exactly what I hoped for. I see such a difference in my body shape. Awwee i am so excited for you. My hubby was a troop ( no punt intended he is a sgt. In the army) he was there for everyday and made sure I walked at home and helped me down the stairs) make sure you have loose fitting items to where at home. ( I had no shame going out in my pj's and robe to stores for the first 4 days). They fixed a hernia while they were in there so I ended up with 7 incisions. No outside stitches so barely any scares. :-)

Hi guys :) I am back from the hospital.

The surgery went well on Saturday and finally yesterday morning I was discharged from the hospital.

All I realize is being taken to the OT and then I go blank, I woke up after 1.5 hours in the ICU (they had kept me there for observation purposes) and shifted me to my ward after about 3 hours of under ICU observation.

I woke up about 6 hours after the surgery, but was heavily sedated, did not feel much pain after the surgery except I had severe nausea and vomiting. The nausea, vomiting continued on the second day too and as Carrie had suggested I tried my best to start walking since the second day onwards. 50 steps every 2 hours. Pain was not much compared to the pain induced due to nausea and vomiting. My mom was there all the while to assist me, so things were smoother.

Day 3 : 2 days after the surgery, I did 100 steps every 2 hours and felt less pain, and continued being on clear liquid diet.

Day 4: 3 days after the surgery, feels good to be back home. Still on liquid diet.< /p>

I have a consultation with the physician on 23rd Dec. Currently, I have been given 1 multi-Vitamin to be consumed per day along with 2 tabs per day for avoiding the gassy feeling.

The only de-motivating factor here is I reached home yesterday (2 days after surgery) and my period started. So my daily walk has reduced to 50 steps every 2 hours, since I have severe abdominal pain as well. :( :( :(

Yayayaya! So strange. My Aunt flo started the day before surgery! Nerves I am guessing. It took me two weeks to feel normal. I was thinking about you. i am glad you posted! I do my fit bit now and get my normal 10,000 steps.

I went for my 1 month post-op while you are in recovery

They put me on soft foods for another two weeks since i completely skipped the puree stage. I could not handle it. I am on target and lost a total of 17lbs and I am slightly under 40bmi :-). I am so glad you got up and moving and I bet the doc's and nurses were very proud of you!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
