Just some of what was happening that caused me to breakdown. And I'm not usually an emotional person like this.

The nurses are nice. The staff just doesn't answer when u press the call button!
I actually fell asleep waiting for them. Was in so much pain started crying man. It was the worst. Imagine being alone sick and no one is coming to check on you. And u can't do nothing for yourself cause you can't move. [emoji24] At least if I can get home I know someone there cares about me. Shoo.

Today it took 20 mins and then they didn't come I yelled out in the hallway. Nurse apologized and said no one called her

Yeah so I'm not bothering with call button anymore. 5 mins later no one answered. So I walked over to station and there's like 5 people there! I just asked them to call my nurse and she came right away

Unfortunately I couldn't move so I had to rely on call button again

Ok enough sad stuff: hey this beef broth is good! After not eating for so long I'm loving this. Forcing myself to go real slow though. So far so good, no issues or noises. It just feels like regular to me. Don't notice difference in stomach yet.

And you still reckon your going straight back to work.its emotional




I do. I have great coworkers and a great boss. We're like family so although they don't know what surgery I had they do know I had surgery and will support me.

It's taking all my willpower not to grab this bowl of beef broth and gulp it down. It's sooo good. [emoji39]. But I know I have to do small sips. Then after I'll go for a walk before trying the rest of my liquid tray

I love your posts!!! Welcome to the club! You remind me so much of myself when I went to surgery! I'm 7 months out and I can tell, I have no regrets. If I had to go back in time, I would choose having the sleeve again in a heartbeat.

So I made it through the nasty Gelatin. Then a cup of crystal light. Just 1/2 cup Water more to go and I can be discharged. As long as I don't throw up.

So far I've drank 1 Protein Shake and about 20ounces of Water. Throat is killing me though. Struggle to swallow.

I had my first bm earlier today as well.

All in all the pain is much less than my previous c-section. In fact if my throats was good I'd be doing much better.

      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
