I felt crappy until I got on solid food. I have also added B-12 shots. They are helping immensely.

Where do you get those?

So I was sleeved March 11. I had a really rough go the first two weeks but have felt better compared to then. But I still wake up every day feeling like crap. I don't sleep very well which may be contributing... also my inscisions are taking a long time to heal and they even were leaking a little pus which I'm not sure is normal at 3 weeks out. I find it very difficult to get all my fluids in. It just is so dang uncomfortable. Anyone else feeling blah??

Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

How are you doing?? Did it get any better better?? Hopefully it did

Iliana, I made an appointment prior to surgery to see a psychologist post op. I wasnt sure how I would feel emotionally after surgery. Actually I felt pretty good a few weeks out but it really turned into a great benefit anyway.I can hash out a few things before they really bother me and she’s been wonderful.

You’ve had major surgery so don’t rule out a medical issue. But with that said you have young children and life can get overwhelming. You might be surprised talking it over with an outsider.

Best Wishes.

I was actually doing group therapy prior to surgery and that is one of the things that got me prepared for it. I havent done them in these weeks because I haven't felt up to it. Might have to start again, I just didn't expect to feel this way.

Are you going through this process alone?? Even with the surgery being completed it's still a process, any support at home??

I have family support as far as help for kids etc which is huge but I am alone for most of the day, and I just try to get by.

Is there a reason you are eating a bite every 5 mins (is that in your instructions)?

At my previous appointment Nurse Practitioner Valerie said my calorie count was so low I could actually "graze" not going to 1 It might have been what led to my Obesity Downfall and a Strong #2 Nothing appeals to Graze Upon. and #3 I kind of enjoy my smaller than Tomkitten body. People other day " Girl, what DID YOU do to yourself? I thought you were your cousin,never realized you 2 resembled each other!" Well me too, she never got bigger than a 14 and rubbed it in, and if I achieve the goal I set me I might be a 1/2 size bigger, but then I have 4 inches of height on her, so should be okay after all👩👸👍

My doctor's office. After seeing my doctor and getting a blood test, he put in an order for a full year of B-12 injections. I just get a nurse appointment once a month and she gives me a shot. It really helps my energy levels.

      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.

      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.
