I am having a revision surgery and repair to hiatal hernia on 7/23. Start my clear liquid diet 7/20. Outpatient surgery which I’m happy about. Just worried about managing the pain. Good luck everyone.

Just had my surgery 7/15. Day 4 and surprisingly doing well. Fingers are crossed it stays this way.

That is great to hear! Mine is scheduled for next Tuesday at 0730. How long where you in the hospital?

Exciting! We’re the same height, similar weight, and have similar goals! Keep me updated on how you’re doing as we’re only a month apart!

Will do! Started my liquid diet today and had my covid testing it's getting real!!

I’m having my surgery today. I am in my bed at the hospital waiting for my turn, normally scheduled in 30 minutes. A bit stressed, but happy at the same time to finally get it done at last. It’s going to be difficult but this is a new beginning

Had my revision on July 13 and am in my two-weeks of full-liquid post-op stage. I'm getting in my Water, which is tough. Protein goals are unobtainable for me right now since everything tastes gross. I'm at the point where I'd lick the armpit of a panhandler for a scrambled egg or something easy to eat without all the fake sweet flavors.

Stayed one night in the hospital. Received two blood thinner injections.

Regretting the procedure, but mainly due to the staff at the clinician's office. It kinda feels like they got their hand on my money, so who cares about my follow-up and other concerns I have. I'm hoping the feelings of isolation and anxiety soon cease and I figure out the best way to proceed.

Anyone else have surgery in July ?

Mine is 7/7 would love to keep up with people who are having there’s around the same time.

I start my preop diet 6/23
2-3 shakes a day and 1 sensible meal

Also anyone’s doctor ask them to stop taking their Multivitamin before surgery ?

I am scheduled for Monday (07/26)! I am nervous, but in a good way? Like I know that the process is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done, but I know it will make me the happiest I've ever been.

I just had sleeve gastrectomy completed on 7/1/2021. I am having the hardest time getting anything to stay down. I vomit when I take my Vitamins, when I drink Protein, when I eat baby food, when I eat or drink anything even Water. I cannot get my ounces in for liquids or protein. I need some guidance. The acid reflux has been the worst part. My surgeon has switched my medications to try and get the acid under control. I just need support because I am not sure how long this miserable part lasts and I am over it. Nothing good is easy and I am not a whiner, but this is pretty tough...

      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
