Hey I was also June 23 and I’m down 10lbs. too! It’s been much smoother than I thought it would be.

You got this! I had my VSG with hiatal hernia repair last Wednesday. Other than some nausea in recovery (which was quickly addressed by the nurse) and the discomfort of the CO2, none of my fears have come to pass. On the CO2 1) Ask for pain meds when you need them and 2) Walk around the ward when you can. Good Luck!

Congrats! Stay hydrated with small sips of whatever you are drinking. Taking small sips has been harder than I thought it would.

I am day 4. I was most worried about nausea and have had none of it since I was in recovery room. Getting my liquids is my highest priority. I’m using a timer to do 6oz of water or protein water every hour I am awake. Today I am going to try to do two shakes and six ounces of bone broth. Breakfast lunch dinner. I’ll give my self an hour on each of those. Pain right now is when I take deep breaths and when I use my abs in any way. I’m supposed to take four walks a day up that’s a tall order right now.

Ha yes sleeve done yesterday long with a. Hiatal hernia repair. I worked most of 5he C02. I have my little ne oz cup and set a timer for 10 minutes. I drink that little cup over the course of the day. I mixed it with hard a popsicle and Gatorade zero. Now my primary pain is from the incisions. I’m staying on top of my pain meds and anti nausea.pills. One day at a time wi5h thing!

I apologize for the typos. I’ll blame it on the pain meds 😸
