Ugh im so sorry you are struggling! The gas pain was horrendous. Honestly not taking the dilauded (morphine button) helped me. It make me so sluggish that the gas pain felt overwhelming the first day. I SELDOM pushed it unless I knew I could fall asleep. I just used the toradol they gave me and was able to get around so much easier.

You've heard the term" baited breath" well I'm reading this all with baited eyes, I think this telling is more worthy of filing than the 2nd hand instructions from surgeons, they,May have studied,it but you girls have and are living it.
I probably will be trying to sip, but I'll go teaspoon by teaspoon, if it is mandated by own condition. This does not frighten me, I instead realize the hightened awareness needed. As I read I only say a prayer at each line.
I found this in this in the Notes, Observations and Prayers section of my Weight Loss Journal'-'might be Psalms, Proverbs or somewhere else,in the Bible
My health may fail and my spirit go weak but God remains the strength of my heart, He is Mine forever.
Love. ❤Hugs. Prayers🙏 for all of You

Well to give you guys an update, had to go to the ER yesterday cause I was vomiting uncontrolably. Haven’t had a bowel movement since before my surgery. The doctors order a CT and it seems my intestines are semi paralyzed. So I was admitted again. Haven’t had anything to drink since yesterday. Feeling hungry and grumpy but no pain. Don’t know when they are letting me go. At least I had a good night sleep since my surgery. Trying to stay positive but this has been really hard for me.

Hope you recover quickly. I got sleeved tjis Monday and when I got home, it was horrible. I couldn't keep nothing down. Srill no bowel movement but I don't feel bloated. I have to say today i feel a whole lot better than I did one the 2nd and 3rd day. PS i took a sip of mint tea. It helped settle my tummy. Keep us posted and feel better soon.

        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
