5 days post op. My surgeon told me to start Protein Shakes yesterday. Only managed to drink one. Still no BMs. Been doing milk of magnesia but nothing. sugar free pudding and Jello are painful but I do not have an issue with drinking fluids. I was 144 at the hospital on the day of surgery. Am 139 today.

Surgery date 7/13. Officially 5 days post op. Not in pain but some soreness depending on how I move. No BM either. I feel nauseous immediately when I drink or eat something but it soon passes. Not getting in enough Water or Protein. This really sucks. Just ready to get past this phase.

Awesome! I didn't think anyone was going to have the same day as me since it is a Friday! I'm hoping for smooth sailings for both of us! I'm going to listen to music before i go in and hope it calms me down haha or maybe they will drug me up early lol

Yes! May it be smooth sailing for us both. I’m hoping I don’t get stuck staying at the hospital. I was told you just stay the one day 🤷‍♀️ I’m honestly not looking forward to the first 2 weeks.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
