Well 3:30 in the morning. Officially started stage 1 now. Able to start little itty bitty sips of Water now every hour. Pain is not to bad. Had pain meds at midnight and don’t feel I need them right now. Walked a total of 5 laps last night. Very happy about that. Staff here is just amazing!!!

Today is going to be great!!! I can tell.

Glad things are looking up for you :-)

Just saw the doctor. She has moved me to stage 2. Said everything looks great. Blood count is a Little low so they will watch that. Definitely staying one more night. But that’s ok. Did 4 laps in the halls this morning.
Pain has its moments. Only had Tylenol at midnight then didn’t ask for anything until 6:30 this morning. Gave me double hit. So that part is getting better as well.

Hi all. I was a March 1st and the first two days were rough for me. The gas was bad but not awful. But the pain was rough. I really couldn’t do Water but watered down Gatorade worked much better. Ice pops were really helpful. At no point did I have narcotics - which was probably why the pain was bad. I’m on a mixture of Tylenol, gabapentin and some other type of pain neuro something or other. I thought I made a mistake yesterday but today I’m much more clear headed. Heating pad helped a ton too. Thanks for that suggestion. Hope all of you are doing well.

Yes full liquids. They said they will try stage 3 tonight. Protein Shakes. I did just eat about 1/4 of chicken broth. So far belly has handled it ok. Nervous eating because not sure when to stop. Didn’t want to freak my belly out. Walking is going great. I’ve made 16 trips down the halls today.

Does anyone else get nervous when you read the posts from fellow sleevers that lost 15-20 in the beginning and then nothing else? Must admit it does make me a little nervous. It has got to be so devastating to Work so hard to get to this point and then you lose such a little amount of weight.




I guess everybody is different I was sleeved 2/27 and as of today 3/3 I’ve already lost 8 pounds

Wow. They're letting you move through quckly! I'm on clear liquids for a week, then full liquids weeks 2 and 3, then soft weeks 4 thru 6. I'm looking forward to full liquids. I'm hoping my surgeon clears me early for full liquids at my appointment Monday.

16 trips is awesome! Way to go!!

So confused and concerned when my surgeon told me he would only be removing 50% of my stomach!!!
My surgery is today!?
Help?

Oh my! I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or bad. Did you request pictures? My surgeons office said they remove about 70%. How did things go for you? How are you feeling now?

      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.
