Recommended Posts

Feeling very sore and sleepy, but getting my fluids and steps in. Gas has settled in my right shoulder/neck, so I'll walk that out soon.

So happy to be on the loser's bench! Can't wait to see where this journey takes me! Here we go.. :)

Had my surgery 2/21/2017 and hernia repair. Getting stronger each day slightly sore and have 16 staples. Experiencing lots of gas and bloat hopeful it will go away soon. No nausea or vomiting thankful for that.@chache64 Best Wishes for your surgery.

Congratulations! I'm having mine 27 February. I'm so nervous. How's your recovery going? That first week of recovery has me really terrified. Are you doing good with the Water and Protein.< br>

Feeling great so far! My gas pains come and go every once and awhile, but I have been off anything for pain since the day after surgery! Everything has gone great. My only issue has started today - I woke up feeling extremely lightheaded and dizzy. Will have to dedicate my day to my Fluid intake. Getting fluids in is tough. I don't start protein until tomorrow so hopefully that'll give me an energy boost. Good luck with your surgery!!

Thank you. My doctor had a death in his family so I've been pushed to Thursday 2 March, so another 4 days on the liquid :(. I'm glad you're feeling ok. I hope the faintness goes away and you have a speedy recovery!

I was sleeved 2/22 and am getting lightheaded today too. I'm getting more than my liquid goal and meeting my protein. I think it's the low calorie level...

my surgery was 2/15. I always feel a little lightheaded in the morning, and a sour stomach. I usually get up take my protonix, and sip on some warm tea. The only pain I have is on my left side, between two of my incision sites. Congrats on your surgery, well wishes for a speedy recovery. :)

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
