Congratulations. How are you getting along with everything? You are still on that 1st week afterward, that is either a good or rough time. Either way we are here for you!😛

Today is the first day I feel functioning. I took our golf cart down to the lake and am enjoying some tea and the views. Cold Water isn’t killing me anymore and the pain in my stomach is only dull.

I have good days and bad days. I get nauseous easily. A little sore from the incisions. But better than the first few days.

Yes. Yesterday was a turning point I thought. Washed my hair, my daughter drove me to the grocery store and I scooter around on a power chair. 😂 was happy to be out of the house. When I got home I hit a wall and just had to take pain and nausea meds. Ugh!

Oh no! I haven’t hit a wall yet and I haven’t had to deal with nausea. I’m totally going to jinx myself but I’ve actually been on the up and up. Yesterday I walked half a mile and today I walked a mile. My tennis shoes finally fit comfortable and my sports bra doesn’t feel like it’s about to impale me.

That was me today. We went to get a few groceries and had tea at our favourite cafe. Once we got home though I was exhausted and nauseous. But I'll tell you, a shower and hair washing does wonders to make you feel better, doesn't it?

I was feeling pretty good too. Yesterday went to church and then decided to go to Walmart and get a few items. Came home after and Now I feel yucky. No nausea just tired and my abdomen is itching something awful. Been scratching around my 5 incisions. But I keep getting like a stomach spasm or something. Not sure if it is a hunger pain that turns into a spasm or just a spasm. But it hurts and kinda feels like it is trying to push stuff back up esophagus. Then it passes. Then minutes later it does it again. It does it for little bit then subsides. So not sure if gas hunger or just stomach itself. Has anyone else had this?

I haven’t had that but my doctor gave me a prescription in case of spasms so it must be fairly common.

My left lower side hurts terribly today. Everything else is good but man it feels like a knife stabbing me in that lower side.

      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. 🤞
