Hey, My name is Laura im 27 from the UK.

I underwent by VGS on 17/1/16. I'm back at home now and feeling excited but also sore. I'm not used to sitting, and am usually busy, so already struggling trying to rest. Its frustrating at the minute not being able to bend or lift, but im hoping in the next few days this will get better.

Id love to have someone to stay in touch with over this journey!

I had mine on the very same day you did:)

I'm very sore and having trouble resting as well. It seems impossible to keep down anything but the nausea meds help. Lost 10lbs already though so that was pretty neat♡ good luck girl hang in there. We'll get through I this.

Hey Mo. Glad to hear the pain gets better. How are you managing with your diet now? In struggling with pressure when i swallow even the smallest of sips!

I kinda wish I had more variety to this liquid stage but I transfer to stage 3 which is Protein shake and smooth pureed food.. the pressure is still there when I swallow or drink too fast but continue to do it because u don't want to keep yourself at stage 1.. you wanna push through it and it will get better
