My surgery date is coming



Recommended Posts

Oh my goodness after my first day of full liquids I hit the wall of pain like you would not believe. I thought I tolerated everything well. I could not sleep at all that night and when I got up the next day I had to drive for the first time since surgery. I actually had to go and sit through a 4 hour class. That was fun, NOT. I did it but it was not fun. I went back to clear liquid and drank a protein2o drink along with my Water and that was all I had on Monday. I called my doctor on Tuesday and his nurse told me I may have become lactose intolerant. However I am able to tolerate the regular Protein Shakes just fine.

Doing pretty good. Just wish I could get some real energy back! Guess that will come as I consume more food.

I was sleeved 9/25 and doing fairly well. Believe after some Soup that made my sleeve angry it caused some reflux so I’m behind in liquids and Protein but starting to try to catch up after a couple days of TLC. Still makes me nervous anytime I feel anything because I’m sure it’s one of the horrible complications. Down 16.4 since surgery and 49.7 since I started my pre-op on 8/28. I miss eating but after the soup experience I’m fine holding off for another couple of weeks.

@CRD1981, how bad is it? Are you going to see your surgeon about it or is it small enough you can just,put Neosporin and a BandAid on? When you are finished healing you may just have it not a perfect white line, a mini-wider. My abdominal wall one from when I had my gall bladder &appendix removal is still wider where the drain was in and that was 34 and a half years ago. No shame in my game, I'll show my belly to anyone, it's just few people ask!

I went back to work today. Feeling bit tired this eve and feel some tugging in belly. Prob from inside stitches. Yesterday I started having diarrhea several times yesterday and few times today already. I know that isn’t helping the dehydration that is prob lurking already. Just ready to go home and rest. I go see my surgeon tomorrow for my two week follow up. I noticed I had some pain through my upper back when trying to eat last night but none today. Hope everyone is well. Oh yea and I still have the allergic reaction around all my incisions. Just not as bad.

Is it possible to stall this early on?

Absolutely! Just drink and walk as much as you can without putting too much strain on yourself.

      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. 🤞
