:thumbup::biggrin:Hi everyone !! I had my surgery yesterday. All went well, and I am feeling great. NO gas pains for me yet. The only time I am sore is when I get up from laying down, or trying to turn over. I had a little upset stomach last night, so now I am keeping that cream for nausea on my wrist. Had a headache this morning, and still feel groggy. Overall, this surgery is a piece of cake. :thumbup:

The great news is I am not hungry at all. Normally this time every morning I am starving. Been sipping out of my grandbabys sippy cup. It works great, allowing me to sip the amount I should and not over sip.

Good Luck to everyone that will be banded this month, you're gonna loveeeeeeeee it!!!

OMG, I have so many questions!

1. Where did you find a sippy cup that didn't have an "outie" that is basically a hard nipple? I've been looking everywhere for the kind that has a lid that sinks into the cup so that it's more like actually drinking from a cup instead.

2. I have to get some of that cream! What is it and where do I get some :thumbup:

Pj...I'm glad everything with well! My big day is tomorrow!

Lanakila-for the kind of cup your looking for, you may want to try the Disney Store or something like that. Or a starbuck coffee cup I've seen small ones.

Thanks for the update. I am 2 weeks away and starting to get nervous and anxious. The sippy cup idea is great. I also got kiddie "sliverware"---much smaller spoon and fork. They work real well. Also, I went to a Goodwill and found some small cakeplates that I already use as my dinner plate. Good luck and keep up the good work.

I'm off to Starbucks right now! I have alot of shake stuff that tastes good, but the Protein smell is just blecky. I hope they have the small one that you mentioned Helen. :thumbup:

The Sippy Cup that I'm using has a spout. It doesn't leak, so I have to suck it out. very small amount which is great.

The cream for nausea was a prescription from the Dr. that and my liquid vicodin.

Ask your Dr. its great !!

Don't be nervous about surgery, nothing to it !!

It's 2:30 pm here, still nothing to eat all day except Isopure, Jello and I'm not hungry at all.

That Sippy cup is a great idea, I'm adding it to my list of purchases pre op.

Thanks PJ!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
