Interested to see the awesome group that will be going through this journey with me at the same time. Please reply so that I can follow your journey as well. My last weigh in is on April 15 and surgery date will either be May 11 or May 18.

I have to check in in 7 hours!! I'm nervous, excited, anxious, but ready to start this journey! Any tips for surgery day and initial recovery?

Omg, how exciting and nerve wrecking! God bless.

Ask for anti nausea stuff in your iv BEFORE surgery!!!

realize the nerves are normal, and everyone has them. Drink as soon as possible and walk as soon as possible. But listen to your body as well..

Same here, they say it wont last long and that it is normal.

Good Luck!! You'll do great. I had it this past Thursday and have had no pain. I was nauseated, but only periodically for two days. I'm just sooooooooo hungry!! Lol

On full liquids this week, it is hard trying to get all your liquids and shakes in.

Nausea has been really rough. Got to discharge. Am peeing quite a bit.

Stay ahead of the pain. It makes resting easier.

You are not alone. I don't have any great insight, but make sure you don't get xonstipated. I had to use a suppository the first week. And I NEVER do that. Hang in there.

May 11th sleeved. Just had to run out today for new belts. 22 pounds gone 4 ever feeling great. Love my sleeve

What a neat feeling. Congratulations.

3 weeks out and 40 lbs down. Having trouble with getting to know what I can tolerate. But everyday gets better. Wish I could drink water the way I used to but it's hard to get a lot down

This is my first post. Had my VSG on May 6th after a 2 week liquid diet. By the day of surgery I was already down 15lbs and have lost an additional 25 lbs post op. So far things have been going well. One night hospital stay, went home feeling great! knee pain already better by 95%! Started on some mushy foods a couple days ago, cottage cheese, poached eggs, went to a sushi restaurant with my wife had miso soup and 1/2 of a rip avocado. As long as I go slow no problems. Just wanted to check in and say hello to everyone.

Turned the corner today. Was sleeved Tuesday. Really struggled with nausea and dry heaves, but have figured out the pain meds were making it much worse. Have been doing much better drinking today.

Two weeks post op and gained a pound from yesterday. So upset. I had a shake, broth, and about three spoonfuls of Cream of Wheat. Otherwise it was a day of water and diet iced tea! Where's the justice?!
