Well......... DAMN!

Breathe in and out, and keep reminding yourself that you have no control over the situation, and so therefore, you can't stress out about it.

Try to relax..... watch some trash on TV or something :blink:

Hugs,

Karen

Thanks everyone, well I came home and got a lot of things done I had on my "to do list" so that helped. I also took a nice long nap, :blink: I feel better well one thing I found out was that I will be spending the night so I am better prepared for that too... But I figured another day of as much Soup as I like:thumbup: I love soup so that will really help me through my liquid stage of all of this...

Here I am six days post op, still not feeling like myself but feeling better, I can stay up a full day, but I find that it doesn't take much to fill me up, I only had to take my pain pills once yesterday and dose of liquid tylenol, I wish my pain meds was in a liquid instead of pills it would have been easier to take.

I don't know if I had fill, but I still feel a lot of restriction it takes a long time for me to get a cup of Water down, much less any thicker fluids...

I have this ball under my port that has developed over the past couple of days, i spoke to the surgeon and he said he doesn't think it is anything but I will keep an eye on it and call my primary doctor if I am still concerned in the next few days.

other than that the left shoulder pain is still there, not as constant as it was but still as annoying.

I am feeling better too. I am still a little to wacky to drive. I have been in the house since Sunday. I am still very sleepy or just no energy. The gas is better. It comes and goes not rather than just sit ther all day. I am still trying to get in the fluids, which cause pain when I drink. I weigh in in the morning...my butt has shrunk and my face looks slimer. I want to start a slow exercise routine, but I dont' have enough energy. I don't want to get flabby.

        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
