Good Morning! Leaving for the hospital in a few. Can’t believe the day is finally here. Hope all those who had surgery in the last few weeks continue to heal. And for us who are about to go in...good luck and prayers for all of us. GAME ON!
GM everyone. Things went great yesterday. I had some pain right after but things have been bearable with the meds. I’ve been walking the halls since yesterday and all is well. Having my upper GI this morning and will start liquids if all goes well after that. Supposed to go home today fingers crossed. Continued prayers for all of you!

Thank you honey. Things went good. I'm in a lot of pain from the gas but other than that I'm doing good. I've attempted to walk the halls twice so far because I've been sleeping lol.

Hello everyone. I am on day 7 after a VSG. I am starting to get hungry! Also my tastebuds have changed . Clear flavored Protein is incredibly sweet to me, so I dilute with Water to increase my intake. Is anyone else experiencing these things too?

Yes. I am 2 weeks post op. Before surgery I loved sugar free Water flavorings. Now I hate all of them. I'm getting my water in with Decaf herbal teas with a tiny bit of sweetener by putting the tea bag with a couple ice cubes in my water bottle to make ice tea. I was never a big herbal tea drinker before. Now I can't get enough.

How long did it take everyone to pee after surgery? I pee'd once right after surgery but now I'm having a hard time peeing. Dehydration maybe? I've managed 9 oz of Water since 12. I know I need more but ugh. And the left side of my body hurts so bad but honestly, this wasn't near as scary as I thought it would be.

It was hard for me at first to pee. It gets easier

I couldn't pee til hours after surgery but the next day I was going more normal, just with a bit of discomfort from the cath. that I had in during surgery. I'm 2 day post op and my left side is killing me but it's definitely still some gas stuck in there and also (tmi) I haven't had a bowel movement so I'm assuming that all plays a part in this discomfort.

I did it, June 17. It was tough for 3 days, I was wondering if I will stop feeling pain. But then today I managed with no pain. Getting used to the new food schedule is difficult, but manageable. Wow hunger pangs can be really strong tho, can wait to progress to real foods. I need to make sure I get my Vitamins and Water and then walk for workouts.

I'm 12 days out and find that I'm dying for more savory flavors. It feels like so many of my liquids are sweet.

For me, I had no problem peeing, but found that the urge to go wasn't happening. Masked by the pain, maybe? I was going to the bathroom based on the amount of time passed, rather than feeling.

      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
