- after my VSG surgery-

I don’t regret having surgery; I regret not making it count. But now, I’ve decided to take control, regain my confidence, and lose the weight again! 💪✨

This time, I’m doing it for ME, and I’m ready to crush my goals. 🙌🔥

Join me on my journey, and let’s support each other every step of the way! 🌟❤️

After undergoing Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG), many individuals face challenges with weight management. It's important to understand the reasons behind weight regain, such as decreased physical activity and caloric intake mismanagement. By identifying factors like 'drinking all calories' and neglecting to monitor dietary choices, individuals can better navigate their recovery. Setting realistic goals, staying active, and forming supportive communities can significantly improve outcomes post-surgery. Remember, achieving weight loss isn't just about the surgery; it encompasses lifestyle changes and a positive mindset. Engage with others who share similar experiences to maintain motivation and commitment to your health journey.

3 months post VSG surgery

After VSG surgery, I knew that my diet had to not be restrictive because that would lead me to cheating on my diet, feeling guilty, and eventually giving up. So i’m learning to not deny my sweet tooth, or my love for coffee, but make smarter decisions and remember to have temperance in everything😌

A person with curly hair and glasses looks at the camera, with text overlay asking, 'Why do Drs insist on giving this drug to patients? NO IDEA.' The Lemon8 username is visible.

A person with curly hair and glasses looks down at a menu in a restaurant setting. Text overlay describes a bad reaction to fentanyl after procedures, despite informing the doctor.

A classical landscape painting hangs on a wall. Text overlay expresses frustration about being given fentanyl again, questioning why doctors ignore patient reactions.

Does anyone else get fentanyl after surgery?

Before my procedure, I specifically told the doctors and nurses, “Please don’t give me fentanyl. I react badly to it.” I must have repeated it three times. But sure enough, right after surgery, I wake up feeling absolutely awful, dizzy, nauseous, heart racing, and like my body didn’t know what to d
