So question for you all, how are you coping with Thanksgiving. I'm seriously thinking if going away for a few days. Anyone else?

We don’t Celebrate thanksgiving so my stomach is grateful ... is just gonna be family together. Watching movies. [emoji19] while drinking my shakes. Any other day it would’ve been beer maybe or rum.

Just went to my one week postop and had my drain removed. Doing great overall, so I will not complain! Anyone else have a drain removed postop? I know some surgeons use them and others do not. It wasn't painful to have it removed, but since he pulled it, I fill like my stomach is full of air. Yuck. But I'll just walk it off... tomorrow.
Hope everyone else is doing well! And those on the preop diet, YOU GOT THIS!

I saw a video where the patients did it themselves.. just looking at that long tube feels weird. Many complained that thing hurt. But if it didn’t bother you.. thank God. I’m glad you doing great! Best wishes for ya!

So happy for you!! Congrats on getting your surgery and being at a week post op! I didn’t have a drain but I’ve heard they are irritating & can be painful to remove. Sounds like walking would be a best-like you say. I hope you give yourself plenty of permission to sleep AS MUCH AS YOU NEED! I was so fatigued, just totally exhausted.

Hi. I am going to have my RNY on November 27th. This is day 3 of my liver shrinking diet. I have been a daily reader here but this is only my second time posting.

I am 56 years old and I had a small stroke last year. I have no lasting problems from the stroke but it woke me up. I do not want to be obese. I have spent the last 8 months pursuing this surgery. Tests, drs appointments and classes have made me stronger. This site with all of you, has made me stronger.

Thanks for all of your conversations that have given me so much hope.

Thanksgiving will be 2 days after leaving hospital, so I'm vegging on the couch and probably sleeping. Thankfully it's a small get together this year.

So I have rescheduled my surgery for December 29th, hopefully nothing else will go wrong, I am such a pessimist, always have been, now that my surgery has been scheduled I will just find something else to worry about. I hate being put under anesthesia, always afraid I won't wake up but I know being obese that I will end up with a ton of health problems.

I hear you!! I am day 5 today, hungry ALL the time, and tired, not sleeping well, low energy. Hopefully this passes by day 7. I try not to concentrate on anything other than today, sometime just this minute. Cheating is very tempting, I haven't yet, but totally understand anyone that does. This is tough.

On the plus side, you are down 36 lbs !! That is fantastic!! Keep it up, you can do this !!!

I can certainly understand your mental state right now and hopefully your family does too! That liquid diet was tough and i only made it my the grace of God! I pretty much worked and stayed to myself because i knew i would miserable and didn’t want to push that onto anyone else. I will keep you in my prayers; but you got this just keep pushing! FYI drink even when you’re not thirsty that might help stave off hunger and maybe even those headaches. [emoji1488]

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
