Guys I'm so nervous. Can't believe it's just about here. My surgery is in the morning at 10:30 in Boca Raton with Dr. Shillingford. I flew in from The Bahamas yesterday and leave next Friday. I'm praying I have no gas pains and nausea. Truly praying.

Nikki congrats on you surgery. You did great. Linda you are almost there so keep pushing. I will let all you guys know how it goes tomorrow.

Hi Pey,

I had mine on the 19th. We just missed each other. How are you feeling?

Hey Nikki and Dee. I am doing well after surgery. I had gas pains but it was not horrible and did not last long. Fortunately I had no nausea so that was great. I am struggling a bit with getting in my liquids so I need to work on that. I can not wait for soft foods. It's like my body is so sick of the liquids so it makes me feel like not drinking anything. But I'm still trying to sip sip.

Has anyone heard from Linda? Feel like I have not heard anything from her lately.

I have not seen anything new post from her.
I'm glad your nausea is at bay. Have you tried adding different flavoring to your Water. I seem to tolerate flavored water better than just plain water. chicken broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles. Hang in there ... it gets easier.

I was sleeved on September 9th, so two weeks today exactly! The first 1.5 weeks were literal hell on Earth, I had quite a few issues with medication and problems with my doctor, but it's been 100% worth it. I am cleared to eat eggs and meats finally, I can go swimming, and I walked 1.5 miles today and only slightly felt like I was going do die from exhaustion and fatigue!

Oh, and I'm down 24 lbs in 2 weeks. That's pretty great.

Can anyone who has had their sleeve give me some inventive options for liquids that is close to food as possible? I am do sick of regular liquids like the Protein Shakes and broth. If I see one more broth I'm gonna hurl. It literally makes me gag now Just looking at them. Haven't eaten them since I left hospital.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
