46 hours after surgery, 18 hours since arriving home...

lol auto correct... i meant to say the staff were very sympathetic . from the moment i arrived till my discharge... i was even visited by the hospital manager and even though; im guessing its standard procedure , it was very calming for my nerves. Dr. Ali came to see me before hand and that was reassuring as well... so other then the hopefully temporary pangs of the left over co2 gas in my abdomen and chest (which are painful id rate a 6/10), it wasnt such a tremendous deal as i had made it out to be ,, it was the fear that created conflict in my psyche about undergoing this rather overwhelming change on my lifestyle.. i really dont regret nothing ...

i couldn't do eggs but ive been putting Sriracha or tapatio on all my Soups and i haven't had a problem at all, and ive been drinking aloe vera juice about half a water bottle full a day.. its good for the healing.

I put ketchup on my eggs and I put stuff in my Soup too just to give it more flavor and I've been doing the Protein Drinks and the Protein Water I had coffee today but that s*** had me wired. I probably need to make some pudding cuz I have been having cravings for sweets

Sent from my SM-G920T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

with the sweets be careful... i thought id be a smartass and take a bite from a sees candy some little chocolate then spit it out, which i did ... and i still got sick.. it turned me inside so never again... try the light sherbert or get the gerber banana oatmeal and make a light avena with almond milk and a splenda and that kills the cravings.. its bomb.

i was told only drink Decaf so im on that with the fat free lite Creamer the french vanilla or hazelnut,, thats been hitting my sweets craving at night especially.

I think I'm going to go get some baby food cuz yeah earlier I took a bite of a Hershey bar and i threw it up

Sent from my SM-G920T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

the baby food like the custard or the premade stuff hits the spot just its minimal with the Protein so its like a treat. the gerber oatmeal has good Iron and a bit of protein though

Do u ever feel full..i haven't but i just stopped

Sent from my SM-G920T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

my stomach is like numb but other then feeling full in the stomach i feel satisfied... ive been using sesame oil like a couple drops on Soups or adding chili powder or whatever just to give it something extra and with what i serve, i never finish because just two three bites and i tasted it , it was good and thats it.. i physically and mentally dont feel like i should keep eating it... as long as i taste it i guess ...in the first week only the Protein Shakes satiated me but now just tasting food bit here bit there and im fine.. so i dont feel full but i dont feel hungry either.

are you having trouble sleeping?

      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.

      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.
