I just got my surgery date and I want to make some August surgery friends so we can share our ups and downs in the weight loss journey.

Do you find it's more comfortable laying down in a bed or sitting in a recliner? My surgery is Friday ...so I'm curious where I might find myself sleeping when I come home lol.

Actually, both. Moving and changing position helps move the gas. I went to sleep in bed for about four hours, got up to pee and drink a couple of ounces if water. Settled in my recliner for a couple hours and napped. Time to pee again, drink a little then back to bed. Hopefully I can just stay in bed by weeks end. But the gas is moving and I’m getting rid of all the fluid they pumped into me.

Good luck with your surgery!

Thank you so much, on the way now. Hope you are doing well and able to drink something today.

How are you doing??

Hello all. Update...I had VSG yesterday. And yesterday was rough. I am still Npo , nothing by mouth, so hoping to get some ice chips later today or evening. Nausea, heart burn has been the worse so far. I am still happy I did the surgery. I sleep, walk and gets meds. Good luck to everyone else. Falling a sleep writing this.

So happy for you, you served your internship while waiting, so go forward, be happy, be healthy and heal really quick. You did it , girl, you really did it!???

Just in day 2 of liquid doing good abs down 2 ponds in 1 day. So helpful Nehemiah that happens. How is everyone doing on liquids?

Mine started last Thursday. It hasn't been easy but somehow today was easier. My energy wasn't as low as the past few days. I've been struggling with nausea for some strange reason.

Congrats. Just take it easy. I had mine on the 8th and I was in rough shape. So many people were walking away and I was thinking. "maybe something is wrong because I just feel wrecked" but it did get better. My pain didn't really start to recede until 4 or so days later, but other than some pulling in my stomach it's a lot better. Just don't over do it go at your own pace.

I just had my surgery Aug. 13, 2018 and nausea & has is the worst. Please help?

Walking and laying on your back with a pillow under your knees or laying on your left side. Call your doctor about the nausea they can give you some meds
