Thanks so much for the advice!! I’m glad I’m not the only one in the same boat and you made me feel sooo much better about the Fluid intake! I feel like with this surgery I will take moderation! I know that once I can I will let myself take small bites of things now and then because if I don’t then I will end up going crazy! When were you sleeved? so glad things have been going good for you!

Sleeved on January 18.

Sounds like me with the Water & shakes. Never a problem. I can chug a lot of Water & have been drinking 2 liters or more since 2 days out. I consider myself lucky. I also get it with the food. I’m on puréed until the 22nd & I have take a few bites of soft foods but chewed it real well. I suggest a good blender if you don’t already have one. I was told I can purée nearly anything I want as long as I only eat half a cup every 3 hours & no that doesn’t mean cake lol but I have had a slice or pizza on Super Bowl Sunday & a burrito in chili another time. Other than that it’s mostly Campbell’s Chunky Soup. Everything I eat has Taco Bell Fire Sauce on it. I use a Vitamix & it is the Bomb! It puree’s awesome!

I like that FluffyChix finds this amusing! 😂

Anyone having pain in the ribcage area when they inhale deeply?

Also, anyone having non stop hunger pangs/pains even when full? This is affecting my sleep.

Sleeved 2/1/18.

Did they have you do breathing exercises after surgery? I’m a little sore in the ribcage when I breathe deeply as well. I contribute that to the soreness my lungs felt after they took the tube out. Have you been passing gas regularly?

Yes they did. I still do it at home too. I just wanted to make sure it's normal. Yes, I pass gas regularly.

Oh good! I would just keep making sure that your lungs don’t get worse. Has anyone had any pain on their right side as well? It feels like muscle soreness on both sides.

Omg I took some GasX chewables and the pain is gone!!! Sweet relief! Thanks for the correct diagnosis.

I haven't had any side pains. Are you sleeping wrong?

        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!

      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
