Anyone with Surg between Nov 13th and Nov 18th



Recommended Posts

Hi fellow sleevers - just found this group and wanted to jump in. I was sleeved in Tucson Az on Nov 17th. I went back to work on Monday and am also feeling fairly sluggish. Got to start with an egg last night - sure felt good to eat something "solid" after liquids for so long. I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you all! Beth

Welcome to the group Beth. I was also sleeved on the 17th and returned to work on Wednesday. Although I have to admit, I didn't do much. Just felt tired and sluggish! I did take the B12 this am and I am hoping that I will start seeing some energy come back!

Hey there Sassy...I was sleeved on Nov. 18th & am feeling much better now! I am finally able to eat without pain & can just about eat anything I want...just NOT much of it! :) I am having to take Nexium for the acid in my stomach, but other than that I am good. I will be starting Curves program on Jan. 3rd & so far I've lost 30 pounds. I LOVE my sleeve! Hope all is goin well with you. Keep us posted!

Hi Rhonda! I'm so glad this thread is still active.

That is so great that you've already got your workout plan together and congrats on your weight loss!! Eating is getting much easier for me too but I'm still learning exactly what I can and can't handle. Finally had scrambled eggs this morning...oh my were they yummy!! I was even able to get some down with hot sauce...I'm Mexican and having to wait another two or four weeks to add spicy food is a KILLER! My doc has me on Prevacid for four months too. How long will you have to take Nexium?

Happy 2011, everyone! :grouphug:

Sassy,

Not real sure how long I'll have to stay on the Nexium but I would rather stay on it permanently than to go thru the pain of trying to eat without it. It's almost as though I'm scared to get off of it.

I LOVE mexican food & that's been the hardest thing of all is to avoid spicy foods and I've MISSED chips & salsa like you wouldn't believe! I am hoping in a few more weeks I'll be able to eat a little bit of Mexican food & be happy! :)

Hope you continue to do well. Let me know if I can help in any way!

I will DEFINITELY reach out. Just wanted you to know that you've already motivated me...I've been checking out the fitness classes offered at my local park district and found one that's giving a free week of Jazzercise the first week of January. WooHoo! I'll be going to that and seeing what else I can fit into my schedule.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
