The first 24hrs were definitely hard for me. Mostly my recovery from being put under for the surgery. I didn't even feel like taking and liquids that day. I was doing ice chips. I was able to walk a few times that evening, but I slept most of the day. The next morning I went off my pain pump and that made a huge difference. I was able to take in more fluids and I walked about 7times that day. It really helped move the gas out.

Had my surgery yesterday and I'm feeling pretty good, need to walk more but I'm so tired from the meds that it's hard to get up but I'm doing pretty good on my liquids. How's all the other post-op people doing?

7 days to go!

I've lost 31lbs since I started surgery prep, 13.9 since I started the pre-op diet 8 days ago...

I'm ready to get this moving!

My Surgery is February 21st. I am so excited. My doctor has not had me on any pre-op diet but I go in on the 15th for all my pr-op testing so I am sure he will talk to me about that then.

EGD on February 9th went very well. (I don't remember a thing). Lol. Visit with the anesthesiologist on Monday, then Surgery the next day. Tuesday February 14, 2017. I thought this day would never come. I'm so ready for this. Bring it on. I'm can't wait to start living a healthy and more active life. I can see the future and it's full of bike rides, hiking with my fur babies and kayaking with my hubby. Best wishes to all. What a great community, can't wait to share the rest of my journey with 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.
