I am extremely nervous! I heard the anesthigiologist (sp?), can give you something for the nerves. Sure hope o get that, otherwise I might not be able to go through with it!

Not sure if you've already had yours or not. But if not, they will give you something for your nerves once you get your iv. Just ask for it :) I have extremely horrible anxiety, so you can imagine how I was. They gave me something and I was all giggly and wasn't a bit nervous lol.

I'm scheduled December 27

I am on the 27th. R u on a liquid diet? Really hard to find good food to drink.

Are you doing a clear liquid diet? Only thing I found I liked was sugar free popsicles (the ones of a stick that would melt clear) and chicken broth. Not from a can, though. That was disgusting lol. Find some chicken granules in little baggies or something that you mix in with hot Water. Those are Much better. Good luck!!

@onereallybigbird. That's awesome news. Get some unflavoured Protein powder and add some to creamed Soup and yogurt, even sugar free pudding. It helps get the Protein in. If too thick at milk to thin down. People also add it to broth but I can't seem to get that to work it curdled :(

Ugh yes I hate that it doesn't mix well in Hot drinks :(

I'm doing great! Never did I expect to feel this well this soon after. I had little gas pain after but for the most part it didn't even feel like I had surgery. Except when I look at my tummy and see the incisions.

That's great news! I'm still struggling with some acid reflux. Every time I drink anything I have pain and a gurgling sensation. My abs also feel like I pulled a muscle. I'm hoping this will all get better!

Hey Julia!

I'm doing fantastic! It's been pretty smooth sailing for me. I've had minimal discomfort and ZERO real pain.

I am eternally thankful to my AWESOME surgeon Dr Benjamin Kim for his cool calming nature and his reassurance because I was having very strong second thoughts the morning before surgery.

Thank God, I went through with the surgery.

I'm feeling so good, now everyone around me is in shock because they thought I would be laying in bed for days dealing with some kind of pain, but instead I was up and out walking around almost immediately.

It was pretty cold here in Los Angeles yesterday so I went for a nice walk in a shopping mall. The funny thing is, in the past I almost hated going into the mall because I was too big to buy clothes and I used to walk too slow and tire quickly, and of course I really disliked people staring at me and my fat body.

However, yesterday at the mall, I was able to walk faster without tiring and I actually enjoyed looking at clothes that I know I will be able to wear in the not so distant future. I may not be exactly where I want to be yet, but I'm definitely well on my way!

Also, as of this morning December 18th I've dropped 10 lbs in the four days since surgery.

Wow. My experience was exactly like yours. I was so worried and scared of possible post surgery pain, but actually after surgery I simply woke up just a little bit sore, but with no real pain. I initially thought perhaps the surgery hadn't happened.

Since being released from the hospital I've been taking it easy, but I feel great, and I've been out walking quite a bit with no problems, except working hard to get in all the required Protein, so I've got ZERO to complain about.

Also, so far I've lost 10 lbs in four days.

I'm not sure if my experience is typical, but if it is, we should let the rest of the world know that the VSG procedure isn't as scary as it is perceived to be.

For me, so far, it's a real blessing.

Good luck to everyone. We can all do this!

If the temperature is 140 degrees or above most will curdle so mixing it in at a lower temp is the key. Good luck

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
