Hello everyone I am just here to vent because I haven't lost one pound since my 1st week post op. And now I am 3 weeks and it's just a bit discouraging, everyone that I know who has had the surgery done or ones I follow on IG and what I have read here people lose weight the first few weeks and then hit a stall like the 3rd week I hit a stall after the 1st week trying not to think about it too much since I am doing everything according to my plan and I know the stall is not forever. Just gotta keep doing my thing and remain positive. I guess I need to embrace my stall. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello Hope everyone is doing fine! I had VSG on Monday 8/15 at around 9:3O am. When I woke up I felt fine similar to when I woke up from my appendectomy. I was in the recovery room for about 4 hours, during the first 2 hours I had the dire need to urinate so they wanted to put a bowl in my bed I was like hell no I need a toilet lol I honestly do not know how people pee laying down so they gave me a chair that had a toilet and I peed just fine. Then after that I was half asleep and they took me to my room. I was up and walking several times every hour and half I would do 5 laps and I even did 8 laps at around 4 am. Then at 6 am they took some blood and at 9:30 I was sent to get Xray and that liquid was disgusting!!!!! after the Xray was performed I was like I need to puke ASAP. So I did it hurt it sucked but that was that. My surgeon came in at 12 said everything was fine no leaks or anything. And he was like that I can finally drink clear liquids! Monday day of surgery I didn't have anything not even ice chips so I was super excited. He said that if the liquids go down easily then I could go into the next phase which is puréed foods I kept thinking damn that's fast but hey he must know so at 5 I ate like 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese and 2 of apple sauce and was so full lol. and then they were ok great no nausea then you could go home! I got home. Wednesday I drank half of my premier Protein in an hour or so and my mom made me baby food that she does for my baby niece I ate like 1.5 onz. And yeah today is Friday I feel amazing no pain no gas no nausea and no chest pains! I feel very lucky and exicted! Hope everyone can have q smooth recovery like me!

Today I went to see my surgeon and he gave me a tentative date since I have one more weigh in which is on August 2 then he sends everything to my insurance and then BAM! He said August 15th I am so exicted I start the liquid diet August 1st! [emoji1434][emoji7]I am beyond ready to kill my fatness lol

Hello everyone congrats on everyone who has recieved their approvals! And crossing my fingers for those who are still waiting! Started my journey March 9th, I have all my clearances (cardio, pulmonary, sleep study and psych). My 5th visit with my PCP is on July 12 and my last will be on August 1. So I am praying that end of August hoping my insurance (healthfirst) approves! Was a bit sad because I thought I wouldn't be able to have surgery since I had my appendix removed 6/26/16 was experiencing abdominal pain but my vsg surgeon said that it wouldn't be pushed back! Hoping everything goes well and positive vibes to all!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
