I AM JUST LOVING MY SLEEVE!!! I was sleeved on May 3 and have lost a total of 60 pounds including my preop diet! WOOHOO!!! :D I leave on a cruise in 2 weeks, which I have already hit my goal for the cruise!! I haven't weight this little in at least 10 years!!!!

Thankfully I started this with a very thick head of hair, because I have lost alot of hair, I totally feel and see the difference, but the doc put me on some certain Vitamins, so that it will help with the hair loss..

I have only hit a 10 days stall..hopefully by saying that I don't jinks myself..but the whole process has been great!!! There are some days that I don't hit my Protein, I sometimes feel like I should be eating another meal, not cause I'm hungry but to get the extra protein...

I hope everyone is doing well!! Thanks for reading!!!

I was sleeved August 4th . I'm doing ok with pain. My question to you is "did you have problems once you swallowing at first?" I swallow Water or any liquid and then I can't take another drink unless I belch. Is this normal and will it go away? Congrats on your weight loss!

Skyblew...Yes!! Seeing you are only 4 days postop, you are still getting the affects of the gas...this will get better each day... I still have gas at 14 weeks, but they should have put you on something to help with it like Nexium of something...but at least the gas is coming up thats a good thing!! Hope everything else is going good for you!!

That is so fantastic congratulations. I had my surgery on May 3 too. I'm down 47lbs and loving every bit of it. I also have started to notice quite a bit of hairloss recently. Thankfully, on my side as well I had a thick head of hair. I take Biotin. It doesn't stop the Hair loss, but it is to increase Hair growth. I hope you have a great time on your cruise. WTG!!

RIGHT ON!!! I am so happy for you! I was sleeved May 2 and am down 63 since my pre-op days. I can't believe how much better I feel. Not just physically but mentally as well. I totally hated myself every time I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror. I know I shouldn't be so wrapped up in my appearance but hey...it's part of me. I have had 11 kids and I totally didn't want to look like I had 11 kids! Losing the weight has just made me so much happier. And I know that this time I will be able to keep it off. My sleeve and I are in this together. I basically eat whatever I want to..just small amounts. It is so awesome!

Have a blast on your cruise!! How fun for you!

Living the dream!!,

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
