Yes I am! On day 2 of liquids prepping for a 4/19 sleeve surgery. It’s been a little rough dealing with the hunger pains. I’m a little encouraged to read most people have an easier time after that!

Our bodies really want carbohydrates and it can take from 3-5 days for those carbohydrate pangs to disappear. You absolutely should expect things to get easier. you can do it!

Thanks yea I feel like along with a slight headache from cutting out caffeine as well. I was planning on tapering off prior to yesterday but I didn’t and now I’m feeling it. I feel motivated though and excited so I’ll push through! Keep me posted on your outcome I will continue to keep my fingers crossed!

Thank you so much. I think I am having a RNY due to a large hiatal hernia that will be repaired at the same time.

I had the RNY in '07, with your other issues, that is why they are giving you a nurse. Take it, it's free... lol. You'll be fine

Surgery was a success! But these gas pains are no joke. Hope all my April 6th surgery day friends are doing okay!

I had my surgery on the 4th. I also had hernia repaired. My stomach hurts, I feel bloated, and it's difficult to drink anything. I've also been sleeping alot. Im not worried about the pain when drinking anymore, as others have had the same issue. It's a journey and not an easy one, but Im willing to take it. Wishing everyone the best!

I just had mine done on the 5th of April. I'm only two days out, but doing great so far. It's been a life long change, but it's worth it. Can't wait to see what's in store for me!!! Thanks for your best wishes.

Congratulations! 🙌I'm so happy to hear that you are doing well!🙌

I had originally thought my surgery date would be Monday, 4/11, but clearly THAT is not going to happen. I'm waiting to hear from the surgeon's admin as to where I am in this process. I'm seriously thinking of becoming a mid-june surgery at this point and doing it right after the last day of school. Obviously, I'm not going to have spring break to recover. Oh well.

Please keep me posted on your journey. and congrats again!

      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.
