well Its done! I feel really great today. yesterday I slept most of the day and walked last night. The GI test came back good this morning so on liquids. Only the nurse said to drink 1 ounce every half hour. I am now trying my chicken broth. It seems to hurt a little going down but overall I feel great. There was a bit of gas that I burping up once I started walking and drinking. My drain they said is filling too fast so the Dr stopped the blood thinners for now to see if it slows down.. but I have walked the hallway 3 times today so far and will try and walk each our especially since they stopped the blood thinners.. getting a little tired though.. sleepy rather.. man they wake you every hour during the night LOL.. Hopefully go home tomorrow.. heres to better days

Congrats! Is the drain filling up quickly still? If so and you're exceedingly drowsy, you might mention that to the nurse and just ask if she'd take your blood pressure. ((hugs)) and Take care of yourself!!

my blood pressure was super high yesterday and they didn't know why but it has come down. they are taking it every few hours.. I am more sleepy because I haven't slept all night with them constantly waking me up for something. walking down the hall makes me beat too but hopefully that gets easier.

thank you. I walked at least 5 times today up and down the hall. Still have the burbs everytime I try to drink something LOL. I am almost done with a 16 ounce bottle and I did have a bowl and half of clear broth today. I tried the Protein pack and that was gross lol. I am tired of laying in bed so I have been moving from the bed to the chair... the drain seems to have slowed as soon as he stopped the blood thinner. Looks like he is going to leave it stopped till Tuesday. I don't think I need it at all I will be walking daily as I plan on going to work on Monday.. I feel fine. So will see after I am off the iv I guess to make sure I am getting enough liquids..

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
