So my surgery went very well they said! I was a little worried this morning, because my surgeon was around an hour late. I was so worried that my surgery was going to be postponed til a later date, but he showed up. My stomach is a little sore right now, but I’ve been getting great rest since the surgery, so hopefully that will speed up my recovery. And to everyone still waiting for their surgery date, I wish you the best of luck and the day will be here before you know it!

I am so glad that everything went well! I felt the exact same way! I was not in a lot of pain, I walked around the hospital unit, and I slept a lot. You might have a bit more pain at home because the nurses are not always providing you with medicine; however, it truly is not so terrible. I hope you do not suffer diarrhea like I did. I got it right after the x-ray drink and putting liquids in my belly. It's terrible. I really want to use depends lol. I cannot wait to start solids! Good luck fellow sleever!

I am so glad you also have food cravings still!! I think we just miss any form of solid food lololol I really just want a saltine right now or some white rice with soy sauce. It's strange.... btw just letting you know, the clear Protein really makes me very gassy! I hate it ugh... I prefer my Water and G2

Good to know. I’ll avoid the clear Protein Drinks. I just want to chew something so bad. My sister was cutting up lettuce and tomatoes the other day, and I swear that lettuce looked so good!

And @ Jacob I trust you are still doing well,today. Many people say that the 3rd post surgery day is the worst.,Most of your surgery meds has worn off and you start to worry that maybe this wasn't a good idea. But stay strong, there beautiful days ahead for you!

I’m doing great! I’m still sore, but it’s getting less sore every day. My incisions are looking good too.

Glad you are doing well!

Remember that the first little bit postop is the hardest, then you start melting away and it is all worth it!

      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.
