I'm on Day 3 post op. Mostly still sluggish/taking it easy at home. Very little pain and grateful that my caffeine headache has finally abated a bit. It's been hard to get in the required fluids/protein and the Protein Shakes I liked before surgery are much less appealing now. Thinking about food quite a bit and how life will change, but still believe I'm doing the right thing and that it'll be for the best. All the best with your surgery!



Thank you so much for your info and best wishes! I wish you all the best in your recovery and in your journey.

How is everyone doing? Both, pre and post op'ers.

I'm 12 days post op and today is the first day I am starting to feel more like myself. The only issue I'm having is that I'm hungry -- a lot; not head hunger, but physical hunger. I'm going to contact the Drs. office on Monday and see what they tell me.

I am 8 days out and i too have been hungry. I told my np to my surgeon and she said at least for me it is my digest track is waking up and makes my stomach sound like i am hungry. I get that but i think it is more than that. I had during the week started pureed because i felt like i was starving. She said that was fine since the guidelines are guidelines and if you can tolorate the next phase it was fine. Everybody is different when it comes to the healing process. I am definitely curious in what your doc says.

Anyone else exhausted? I'm on day 4 and just completely spent. Can get up and get one thing accomplished (shower/load of laundry) and then its back to bed, wiped out. Is this normal? How long does it last? Thanks all!

did you have an appointment with your surgeon yet??? Im 4 weeks out and doing great. How ever told you the first year is hell is wrong. With that said, for me its hard because im eating a limited amout and kinds of food. Sounds like to me ypu have not had any appointments with the doc, nutritionist nurse, etc yet. Dont listen to nay sayers. Everyone is different. Some people have a harder time than others, however Ive never hear the 1st yesr is hell. A year out you more than likely can eat most all foods but in a smaller quanity.

Yes, I have had all of my appointments with the surgeon and also the dietitian. I also had 10 group meetings, along with a lot of other appointments. I have just heard that it is different for everyone. And most discussions are about people whom have had the RNY instead of the sleeve. I just thought that some people on here might be able to give me some sort of idea ahead of time to ease my anxiety a little. Thank you for sharing your experience with me.

I'm 14 days post op and I start feeling nauseous anytime I get my heart rate up. Doing house work or even when I go for my walks. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'd start a new thread asking about this.

I am 9 days out and still tire easily. I went to the grocery store for some Soup today and filled up the tank for my husband. By the time I got home my side was hurting and I felt like I ran a marathon. Go easy...your body needs time to heal. 😊

      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.
