I can't begin to tell you how many times I have read posts like these here, and I felt EXACTLY the same way. You have had major surgery, it is a bit of a bumpy road to recovery. Stay on top of pain relief, every 4 hours, and sleep sleep sleep.... trust the process and follow the surgeons instructions 100%

Please check in here tomorrow and let us know how you are doing. Xxx

No. Im waiting until Wednesday. One week after the way my surgeon has it is Water and Clear Liquids this week ( including Nellie and sf popsicles) then stating the Protein Shakes next week along with all that. Third week introduce small quantity of food but like ricotta cheese and egg whites then fourth week normal but very very small portions and all has to be healthy. I had someone bring me my favorite today chocolate covered strawberries and I cried. I won’t lie I took a small bite and felt sick so I will try that in a few months lol

I’m having hard time I feeling like I made right decision this has got me all in my feelings right I want eat this bag chips that’s in front of me my stitches are itching me I’m going crazy I want scratch it

[Wild13 10]

Yeah mine itch too. One of my incision glue is coming off so I’m a bit nervous but put the chips away!!!! Jaja not worth it we got this far just keep on pushing. I lost five pounds pre op and lost 5 since after the operation and I’m still bloated and slow Len so I know it’s a bit more and I know they say don’t be obsessed over the scale but that’s my motivation tight now if not I would have hurt myself with the damn strawberry lol

I understand. My right side hurt more than anything, and the stitches did itch as they healed. But---this isa life-changing surgery. I am still happy I did it. I hope you feel better soon. Talk to your doctor about the pain. My doctor told me to use ice-packs on/off for up to 10 minutes each time. It helped.

Hi! I also had VSG on Feb 10. I was just discharged a few hours ago. I was on a morphine PCA pump until 2200 last night. The gas pains subsided, but the actual surgical stomach site/muscular pain is really rough. I vomited over 40 times post-op. The pain was absolutely excruciating. My doctor did not send me home with ANY medication for pain. He told me I could take 2 Tylenol every 6-8 hours.

I am staying positive however, as I know this was the right choice for me and my future and my health. As I’m sure that played a huge part in your decision to go through with the surgery too! Just try and remind yourself you just had major surgery, your body went through a lot of trauma, and don’t compare your recovery to anyone else’s! Healing is a process and a lot of factors go into it!

Best of luck, we can do this!

+1 for the ice packs on the incisions! Just be sure to not leave them on too long at once!

Is it at all possible to get rid of these foods from your house? Or at least not have them in sight and not eaten in front of you? Maybe if you can’t see or smell them, you won’t crave them. But I did comment on another post of yours and I’m wondering if this is more than a psychological issue.

I’m not a mental health specialist, but I don’t think it would hurt to seek out mental health services. I’m so sorry you experienced such things, but now is the time to take control of your life and take care of yourself. Remember your WHY for doing this. I hope things get better.
