Anyone have the same surgery date as me? Wondering how everyone is doing so far. I'm battling gas bubbles in stomach and burps/hiccups that kill. First 2 days postop were the absolute worse for me.

I was August 10th, and had the same thing. You need to walk as much as you can. I was better by day 4ish. Hot shower helped also. I'm one week post op today, and feeling really good. Hang in there!

See if you can have Protein Water. Either plain powder mixed into something, or a ready to drink version. How about Bone Broth? It has a lot of protein, and is sold with the Soup in Walmart. Hope you perk up soon!

Hey! I'm August 14 also! Lots of gurgling sounds and little burps. I think little burps have also been my indicator that I'm full. This morning I've actually woken up feeling quite 'OK' in comparison to the last 5 days. My incision Patches are starting to peel off (not sure what to do about that). Incredible shoulder tip pain still. I'm going to try a 15 min walk today to test my energy levels. Really keen to see how others are traveling ... I've felt really emotional the last 2 days..anyone else?

Had surgery Aug 15th and have taken the same path except I've had diarrhea if I change from Water to Chrystal Lite! Really! First 2days were the worst but got out and started walking and seem to be doing better! I was able to start full liquids today if I felt ok but that didn't quite happen but I did get 1 Protein Drink in. We will feel better soon!!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
