Yes, I got home around 2pm today. Happy to he home but unhappy that I don't have a lounge chair to sleep in. Getting in and out of my bed is not fun.

Hi! I had my surgery on the same day you did at the same time. I arrived home yesterday around 8 PM. Feels great to be home. Experiencing gnawing hunger pains. Trying to sip Protein as Water seems to make it worse. Are you experiencing the same?

Having weird gurgling and pain in my stomach but they don't seem like hunger pains to me. I havent had any interest in food since the surgery. I've been tolerating Water and Protein Shakes though. Hope you also have a speedy recovery!

Oh I haven’t tried Protein Shakes yet. I’m doing Isopure Protein Drink. Doctor said I can only have Clear Liquids. Will try Protein shakes next week. Trying to find high protein shakes. I woke up several times with that weird feeling in my stomach/chest last night and had to take a few sips of the protein drink. Seemed to help. I hope you have a speedy recovery as well.

Yeah, I left the hospital on a "full liquid diet". I tried some broth and yogurt today and wasn't feeling either of them.

How are the Isopure drinks going down. That is what I will be drinking some to my surgery date Nov 27th

Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Have not tried any of the Isopure drinks. I've been doing the Premier Protein flavored water and this "peanut butter cookie" Protein mix that I've been mixing with almond milk

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
