Hey guys I was sleeved on 4/5! I wish all of you luck on this journey! I am still dealing with nausea and vomiting. I don't want to discourage anyone but I'm feeling as if did I make the right decision? Idkk if it's just me ! But hope you guys have better luck recovering!

I had the VSG done last Wednesday on the 5th of April too!

A week out and still on a liquid diet. But I have no urge to eat lol. So it's okay. I haven't experienced any vomiting episodes and maybe had only one episode of nauseatedness. Hang in there. Stick to the book and you'll be fine!

PS just out of curiosity, did you get the VSG? If so, how much weight have you lost?

Hello everybody!!
I did it. I came out of surgery yesterday around 4pm eastern time. It's 6:03Am and I must say that the heartburn part was the worse then the pain as well made it more challenging. But if you go in it expecting it, then it won't come a surprise. I don't like when people sugar coat the recovery. Just expect the pain to be bad and hope it isn't. If I can get through it so each and every one of you can do it as well. I walked twice. I can now go to restroom alone and I'm sitting up with no issues. Just controlling my the heartburn and pain in advance is how I feel less pain. I'm praying for each and every one of you. Stay focused and don't forget your "whys" you're doing this and don't underestimate your strength.

Amanda,

The heartburn and pain were my biggest fears as well. Like I mentioned earlier, if you go in there expecting he worse pain then you've prepared yourself mentally. I mean nobody can literally say it was easy and I didn't have any pain. I mean we're all different. I had the sweetest staff. They really communicate with you if you're nice and just relay your issues clearly. Sometimes we don't understand what it is we're feeling if it's something we've never felt. Just try your best at explaining what it is you're feeling. The first day and night are the worse but the following day you feel a big difference. I still have some heartburn but they've been giving me some carafan I don't know how to spell it correctly. Well that's helped me a great deal with heartburn. My dr order a pain pump machine so control my own pain meds. Reason being is that I take chronic pain meds at home so he wanted to make sure I didn't get the minimum of pain relievers cuz it would be like I wasn't given anything for pain. Ahhhh how I love my dr. He's definitely heaven sent. Sorry for the long message.
You got this. Don't worry yourself too much just be prepared. Wishing you the best. Keep us posted. When is your surgery?

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
