Had my surgery on the 6th. Despite a cheat day due to stress, my liver was small and pretty clean.
But let me tell you... GAS PAINS ARE NO JOKE.
Was in hospital until about 5pm today, pain is not fully gone but alas, was not prescribed anything but liquid tylenol, anti-nausea, and gabapentin. Pharmacy is out of the anti spasmodic.

Now that I am home and had some deep sleep, the coughing has started. With 5 incisions and gas pain and nausea, this is hell.

All well, since I pretty much have not been drinking, going to try to now. Maybe that plus the meds will also quiet the cough some.

Best to all!
Now, I'm nervouse about the pain I may be in...yikes!!

I can, and I can't, believe it's tomorrow (well in 4 minutes it'll be today!) Journey started in January, and the 7+ months have went by pretty quick, though I am pretty patient and wasn't in a huge hurry. The last month has went by pretty slow, especially because of the liquid diet.

It's definitely getting real. We'll see if I sleep tonight!

Monday 8/13/18
Starting my last week of pre-op diet then two days of liquid diet then surgery day will be here. I decide to get on the scale this morning when I said I would not until day of surgery but I did and I’m down 19 pounds. The beginning of the diet I was fine but come the weekend I was about ready to throw in the towel then I read some folks post and it had kept me going. Thanks have a great week.

      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.
