:1312_thumbsup_tone3:wow you really keep it real. I haven't got a date yet. But now I'm wondering do I want one.

:60_sweat::53_cold_sweat: that painful huh. OK here I go again. Talking to Self ..self stand strong you can do it. Hope you feel better Mr. Surgery before me.

Yeah, It's not the end of the world....but it's rough...or it was for me, but seriiously, like I said, it lasted the day of the surgery and then about 75% of the next day...then it went WAY down...don't be scared, but don't go into it thinking it's a cakewalk.

Did you have complications? Why were you in the hospital 3 days? Or is that standard policy where you have surgery. I spent about 26 hours at the hospital.

YES I had extenuating circumstances that kept me in one day longer - MOST OF YOU will not have this problem.

I have a clotting disorder called Factor 5 Leiden. They just kept me one more day to monitor my clotting and my transition.

The only thing that feels bad right now is the incisions. They sting and ache like little puncture wounds.

I' only take the pain meds if I'm going to sleep or nap because it allows me to get some rest.

The past two days I've gotten my 64 ozs of Water in.

Today I tried some broth but couldn't "eat/drink" it all. I've been sipping on smart water.

Haven't had any weird vomiting and nausea is ALMOST non xistent...but not quite gone.

Seriously, someone using AMA in conjunction with Hospital and Discharge would mean against medical advice in anyone's eyes who had anything to do with medical field. Totally understandable and justified. He apparently is just using a different acronym. You are brilliant AND look great! No worries!!

It's kinda like, someone knocked your ass out, stabbed you six times in the gut and you woke up in the hospital unable to eat anything or sleep at all.

Hahaha! This is a perfect description of the first two days! I felt much better on day three and tremendously better on day four, but YES, those first two days feel like a post alley-way beating for sure!

Half tum- I'm day 3 post op and feel sick all the time. I have a high passion tolerance, but this is horrible. How do you get 64 Oz in? Protein shake? I hardly can do 5oz per day and I feel sick

Small sips, persistence.
Small sips, persistence
Repeat
Small sips, persistence

Also anti nausea medicine and naps. You can do it!!!!

      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.
