I am home resting. First day was a lot of pain but it is now manageable. I have 6 incision 4 small ones and 2 large one. Looks like the made the incision where I had my gallbladder removed.

I am onto pureed, but 2 spoonfuls of yogurt fills me up. I am sipping Water, everything else taste like Syrup. No head hunger and I am uninterested in eating. The team at Mt. Sinai hospital NYC was absolutely amazing.

Doesc Water taste funny to you? It tasted sweet to me. It has changed now, but was weird how things tasted so different.

Congrats! Hope you get to feeling better soon!

I started out thinking it tasted sweet like weak Kool-aid, now it tasted bitter. almost like the taste of bile refluxed up. Now what caused that? Wish I knew.

@curlygirlgetsfitCongratultions on your journey, you are in good hands at Mt. Sinai. My surgeon was Dr.Dong and I cant say enough good things about he and his staff. If you are uptown, and you can please come to the class in June lots of information. They also have a FB group.

Wishing you the best.

Congrats Susie! My first 24 hours were rough too. It's been great since then. And Water is great for me as well. I think I've had a total of 1.5 of the Protein Shakes since the surgery. I liked them before - now just the idea of them sounds disgusting. I'm hoping that will pass eventually as they're a great source of Protein.

I couldn't tolerate them after surgery, because they were just to sweet. I now have one a day just to get in the the 30 grams of Protein, because I don't think there is enough hours in the day for me to get in 60-64grams from food plus 64oz Water.

      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.
