Hi All. Had my surgery Monday morning. Boy was I not prepared for the pain. I’ve been crying my butt of since yesterday. Took a walk to push myself and almost passed out. 😵 just started feeling better out of no where. Can’t keep anything cold down at all. I know it will get better though.
Sorry to hear that! I had my surgery Monday too, how are you feeling today?

@sestewart17 the just let me leave the hospital today so better i guess. Still having issues keeping cold drinks down. Not hungry at all. It’s hard forcing myself to eat when I don’t really want too. Walking has gotten much better. Starting to worry that this surgery wasn’t for me. How was your experience?

I am not too bad I left the hospital yesterday but I was walking a lot the first day and yesterday though I couldn’t pass any gas, only burp. Today has been alittle better in that regard but I still have a lot of pressure in my chest and some shoulder pain. I am not hungry either, they gave me two meals at the hospital yesterday of broth, Isopure, Jello, a popsicle and tea. I had a few bites of broth and was able to finish one isopure. Today I am drinking a Premier Protein, i tried to do jello but that hurt alittle. Also trying to take in my Water I am just going very slow with everything. I know these days of pain will be worth it though!

@sestewart17 I feel a little better knowing it’s not all roses for everyone. I have yet to get down 8oz of Water. Don’t want to become dehydrated that’s what worries me.

All went well. For the most part the pain feels like acid reflux??? Pop cycles help sooth the burning feeling but still there. Protein Shakes is helping too. @TaylorMade4One are you still hungry? I’m kinda getting that way too.

Are you on a PPI yet? Sounds like your sore little tummy,is complaing instead . Stomach acid and gastritis can mimic the hunger sensations Are you getting,your fluids in? The more watered down those sensations are, you might find some relief.

Yes, I'm STARVING!!! Nothing to chew since sunday when I had a salad. Every time I take a sip of liquid in 3-4 seconds after I feel a pain. Not sure if its because the liquid is going around the gas..How in the world will I do this for 14 days??!!!

I’m not starving from my belly it’s all in my head. I haven’t been hungry since surgery (8-6-2018). I miss food but I haven’t felt any kind of hunger actually. Getting liquids down as much as I can.

How do you distinguish between head hunger & true hunger after surgery? Trying to prepare myself mentally for this part.

      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.
