I'm right there with you. Lots of pain post op, I had surgery on Wednesday. I hope it gets easier for you. I'm doing a bit better today which is giving me some sense of mind.

Eating really isn't the point right now. Just focus on Water and little sips of broth for a week or so, walking and relaxing.

I'm right there too. I was sleeved on Wednesday. The pain for me has been tolerable, I'm struggling with horrible nausea. Yesterday i only got my protien chicken broth amd half a bottle of Water in, everything makes me want to throw up. :( i went off of ny pain meds at the rnd of day 2 and that has helped a little but now my stomach is growling and gurgling like crazy and now im battling diarrhea. Praying we both get feeling better soon!!!

I was also sleeved yesterday and because I was unable to even keep Water down, I have to stay amother night. Today has been a lot better though. They think it was the pain medicine making me sick, so we stopped that. I didnt have any gas pains, just feel like ive done a thousand crunches, lol. Good luck to everyone and prayers for speedy recoveries [emoji4]

Day 17 - down 22 lbs from surgery. Heading back to work on Tuesday. Currently on purees. Some residual nerve damage/pain to the left of my belly button. chewable Probiotics might be my best friend. Incisions are almost all the way healed.

Wearing an abdominal binder for additional support/gentle reminder not to lift.

Me too!! I had surgery Thursday. The upper GI that was done to check for leaks made me so sick and the pain meds made me nauseous too. They changed my pain meds and gave me a medication for nausea. It's been better since yesterday evening. I have the rubbles and gurgling too. And had diarrhea as soon as I got home. Makes me feel better that I'm not the only one. I hope it passes soon. Hope your feeling better soon.

I just had surgery on Wednesday as well. The gas pain was absolutely miserable but luckily just about gone now. I had a drain and the removal was the weirdest thing I have ever experienced. I usually get nauseous very easily so I've been sooo happy that I haven't been sick and am handling 50-60 ounces of Fluid per day without problem. I hope all my fellow April sleepers are continuing to recover well!

I had surgery Thursday. The first day was a struggle. Today I got about 50 oz in Water, sugar free Jello, sugar free water ice and broth.although my stomach doesn't seem to like very cold stuff. I haven't taken any more pain meds other than Tylenol. I am more uncomfortable than in pain. Gas is making its way through without major pain.. so far so good hope everyone is feeling better every day!

I had surgery yesterday and first day was horrible. I was in a lot of pain and horrible gas pain in my shoulder. I didn't have a lot of issues with nausea except when given pain meds but was able to keep it down and it passed within a few minutes. Today I was allowed to drink Water through the day and I have been walking a lot. This definitely helped with gas pain. Tomorrow I can start a liquid diet and if I am able to keep it down I should get to go home.

        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
