I am 13 days post op.
Hungry all the time.
Miss my favorite foods.
Miss pizza and wings.
Having said that, I don't regret the surgery.
My incisions are all but healed.
I wish the weight was dropping faster.
Looking forward to getting thin.

Hi there!
I'm 5 days out with hunger pains
And, dumping syndrome today because I had a Protein Shake.

I miss popcorn, pizza, and wings
Such a challenge with soreness and hard to walk straight for a period of time.

I'm ready for clear liquid and milk to be over!

I know man.
I was not mentally prepared for how difficult this would be.

I was sleeved on 9/5. The only pain is minor which is my left side incision. A couple of days ago I was getting hungry, my stomach was growling/talking LOUD and I was going through head hunger. As of now my stomach has settled down considerably and no head hunger. I had my moment in which I missed certain foods or just something simple to munch on like peanuts or cashews. That has now passed, each day has gotten easier. The sugar free popsicles has actually been the best things to eat. Don't really get hungry, but I eat regardless. I have one week left on full liquids which gives a few more choices than Clear Liquids and looking forward to soft purees, at least I can be creative with food choices. I need to start walking, but overall I am feeling good.

I am right there with all of you.
I am always hungry.
The scale isn't budging at all.
I miss my junk food.< br>I am stressed out at home.
I am miserable at work.
I already suffer from Major Depressive Disorder.
This has been very hard.
I thought I would drop weight faster and I am discouraged.

Hi, I'm 3 days post op. I was sleeved with HH repair. I'm still in pain from the incisions, the largest one mostly. It is swollen and bruised. Plus my chest hurts when I breath in deeply. Doing the breathing exercises and putting ice pack on my stomach for swelling. shakes go right through me, which concerns me. My stomach always seems to be gurgling. I'm still trying to figure out how to get out of the bed without hurting. How are you feeling?

I was sleeved two days ago. Minor pain where my incisions are. I'm still in the hospital with an IV, so the IV site still hurts a bit. I am starving.

I don't miss food. A few months ago, I read a book called Never Binge Again, and it really helped me work through some of my food addiction.

The real test for me will be when I am at home and work, where everyone is eating stuff I can't have.

8 days out here...still a little sore, but each day is better. I do get hungry but it is satisfied with a bite (or spoonful right now) of food.

Hello! I'm pretty new here. I had my surgery a week ago and I've gotten used to the liquid diet completely! I lost 20 pounds, but I'm sure I'll gain a bit of it back once I'm onto solid food again :p. My doctor said I could start the full liquid stage, with thick liquids tomorrow. :)

I'm home from the hospital now. I have been setting my timer for fifteen minutes, and taking three or four sips of Water when it goes off. It doesn't hurt to drink- it just feels weird. I drank a Premier Protein shake this morning with no problem, so at least I know I'll be able to get my Protein in.

      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.
