No straw and yes I've been walking since day one.

I was sleeved on august 29th and I've having a hard time gettin in my liquids. I only got 22oz today. My belly is growling insanly! I think I'm pregnant with triplets or something and they are fighting! Sipping feels uncomfortable everything kinda sticks in my chest for a few minutes then works down. Gas pain or air is still an issue too. I wanna burp but can't it hurts! Chest pressure sucks! Are all these common?? Should I be freaking out??

I was sleeved the 29th too! I'm having a rough time sipping. Was only able to get in 22oz today. Really hoping tomorrow is better. I've got major belly rumbling!

I'm out had my surgery yesterday and I won't sugar coat it. Its been rough! I think the worst is the gas and just feel sick! Did my swallow study this morning and almost threw up it was very very nasty! Hope its only up hill from here, really really hope

I live in tennesse its now 6:20PM. I'm scheduled for my vsg at 10:30AM tomorrow morning! I'm so nervous,scared,sickly! Don't get me wrong I've been excited the whole time and still am but dang these nerves! I'm just saying if I had food in my system (liquid diet past two weeks) id probably be throwing up I'm so nervous! Anyone else having surgery tomorrow??

Thanks everyone. It is so very hard. The only thing that's kept me going it I want this so bad! My surgery date is the 29th and I'm so ready but honestly wish I could sleep through it all. I'm still working and I have a very active job so that keeps me moving mostly. Today has been a rough one. Not so much feeling hunger (head hunger YES) but no actual hunger which is good. Just super weak and overall not feeling good. I really hope this isn't how ill feel after sugery for very long. Its emotionally draining!

So I heard 72hrs but its day four and I'm so tired. I have zero energy at all. Not so much hungry but I feel super weak...tired...sometimes dizzy faint feeling... I'm getting in 100g of Protein at least 64oz Water... Plus chicken broth..sf popsicle..sf Jello... That's all I'm allowed man I'm feeling rough and trying to work..its rough I can barely get outta bed!

I wouldn't worry about it my brother who is doing all this with me found out he has bad sleep apnea. He was put on a machine when sleeping but it didn't stop or slow down surgery. He is having surgery same day as I. Aug 29th

I agree! This is going to be the best journey for us all and I wish all of you the best of luck! I've been very open about my surgery with everyone and really don't care what they say. I'm an open person anyway this isn't be admitting failure it me asking for help and I've came a long way and will continue to work for where I need to be. That's my attitude about it :-) you can keep up with me via message, facebook, or even test/phone if you want to be "vsg buddies" :-) have a great day! Almost time for work here

You too Xena! Its a wonderful journey to be on. I understand everything you've said. It will be fantastic to be a "normal" size. Good luck to you!!

Alliecat we have the same surgery date! How exciting we are surgery buddies! Would love to keep in touch!

I'm allowed 100g of protein in the form of powder protien mixed with fat free milk or water (four or five shakes) per day and all I'm allowed besides that is clear liquid. Water..broth..crystal light..popsicles ( sugar free) and sugar free jello. I'm so scared! Lol seems like a lot of nothing for two weeks. I'm oh so ready for surgery august 29th though!!

Yes same surgeon. same everything lol we have done all our appointments etc same time same day!

Thank you it seems as if it took forever but now its here and its a wonderful feeling I hope you get yours soon!!

My brother an I are doing this together. We both submitted on july 19th. I called cigna everyday as did my brother to uhc. Today we both learned we were approved! Should have some dates tomorrow. We still like a pre surgical class that our hospital requires and that's it. Should have a date for late august I hope
