Thank you everyone! Just hearing that I'm not alone and it will get better is encouraging. Today is day 3..hoping for a better day than yesterday!!

Every time I swallow water or my meds I get this horrible pain throughout my stomach and abdomen! It comes and goes but it's very sharp at first. Is this what everyone refers to as gas pains? I literally cringe when I feel them coming.

Hi everyone, I had my VSG on Tuesday, August 14th so today makes me 2 days post op. I'm having a lot of trouble drinking any water at all and drinking the protein and taking my vitamins is a struggle. Has anyone experienced this? The surgeon says my stomach is still swollen and it's going to be rough at first but I don't want to risk dehydration or malnutrition!

Hi friends!
My time has finally come! I am having VSG next Thursday! (8/16) I am beyond nervous. I've heard the first 2 days after surgery are the worst! Does anyone care to offer advice or suggestions? I need some words of encouragement and to help me relax!

Ahh you are all so awesome!! thank you for the kind words and support. It feels nice to vent to people who understand what I'm going through! Some people are just down right rude! And you all are right, jealousy is definitely apparent. Oh well, I don't have time for ignorance like that in my "new" lifestyle. I look forward to my new future!
