This is great news. Really motivating. Thanks for sharing. I'm on liquids today and tomorrow. I have a headache. I just want to go to sleep. It's too early though

I had a headache from the pre op liquid diet also. I thought it was probably because I stopped coffee and caffeine cold turkey. I think I looked online for natural ways to get rid of a headache. Look online can't remember now what I did. What state are you in? I am in California and had my surgery through Kaiser Insurance. Just try to sleep and continue to picture yourself healthy and all the wonderful things that are going to happen. I wrote a list and put everything I could think of. Down to shaving my legs and other places also lol. You are almost there!!!! Good luck to you..

My parents grew up in Inglewood back in the 40's until the mid 60's. Get some sleep if possible..

My sleeve was 4-19. Doing good as far as I can tell. Drinking Water and Protein Drinks. Looking forward to creamed Soups. Not much appetite though, which is a PLUS

It was postponed until 4/ 25.. I'm disappointed. I was ready, physically mentally and emotionally. Now I can't seem to get it together... How are you doing?

Just wondering how you're doing. Hope all went well and you're feeling good!

I was sleeved on the 19th. The first 2 days in the hospital were a little miserable but once I got home, I felt so much better. I haven't had to use any of my pain or nausea medications so I am counting myself truly blessed! I'm taking things one day at a time, have my one week post op appointment tomorrow plus I get to start puréed foods. I am totally looking forward to that! (NEVER thought I'd say that!) good luck to all!

I had surgery on 4/26. I got to leave after one night and come home. Also have a horrible headache that won't go away. Aside from being constantly sleepy, I feel okay.

Y'all, I got sleeved 4/19 and I'm down 12 lbs so far from surgery day! I'm still pretty sore, but I have been back to work for 2 days. I'm on purees finally, so I can finally eat and feel full for a few hours. Best decision of my life.

I'm so hungry and I was worried! So it is good to know you felt hungry also. Did you have trouble staying awake after surgery?

Yes. When I was on Clear Liquids, I couldn't stay awake for anything. Once I slept through the night for 15 hours straight.

I was sleeved yesterday in Richmond, va, everything went great. I had gas really bad for an hour then it went away. They had me up walking every 2 hours all night so I'm tired and have a headache

      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.

      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.
