I am having a revision done 8/13. The liquid diet hasn’t been too bad (mind over matter, right?). I’ve lost 4 pounds in 4 days so that alone has kept me motivated.

Until yesterday, I'd lost 9lbs (for 6 days worth of liquid diet), but this morning I gained 1.4 of it back which has be SUPER perplexed because not a single thing changed...I didn't eat more, didn't eat at any different time of day, didn't cheat. I'm like wtf? Lol. I'm gonna see what happens tomorrow morning...maybe my scale was just weird.

So how is everyone feeling that had surgery this week? I had it Monday and I'm ok I have alot of pressure in my tummy still. Also I don't think I can take one more sweet thing like popcyles and Jello, also i have always loved chicken noodle broth but I think after this I will hate it!

I was sleeved Monday, feeling great. Getting more Protein in. Cold drinks and Jello make my gas pain worst but overall I'm feeling really good!

I had my sleeve on August 8. Came home yesterday. Starting to feel soreness and coughing. But okay for the most part.

You probably have the fluids they pumped into your body while,you,had a an IV plus there probably is Fluid and swelling internally from the assault on your body.Yeah you wanted it but your gastrointestinal system is "crying", it says "why, oh why did YOU let them do this to ME? I thought we were friends?" Gradually the "water weight" will leave and you will start again on your weight descent. It's ALL GOOD after all.😍 💓😛

What pill? Is that the emend?

Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes the horribly expensive Emend. I found a GoodRX coupon which bring the price down to $120 for 2 pills.

I must have really good insurance (not bragging, still shocked), I was surprised it was covered and paid $40 for all my pre / post op Meds yesterday. I was expecting to use the emend coupon I found online and didn't need to.

No you should brag. If my medicines were $40 I would brag and choregraph a victory dance. My doctor warned me it would be expensive so I was prepared. My biggest fear now is when I take the Emend it will slip out of my hand and fall into the AC vent. That would be just my luck.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
