I am so excited to be getting rid of the band and having it replaced with the sleeve. Surgery date is 9/20/2011. Would love to hear from anyone who will be sharing the same date!

Aww man I didn't even notice this! I was sleeved on the 20th! How is it going??? Yesterday (day 4) was a little rough was concentrating too much on Protein and ending up with a swollen sleeve and feeling totally bloated, today I'm taking the veteran's advice and not stressing, trying to concentrate on liquids and RELAX. Day 5 smooth sailing!

Things are going pretty well. I know what you mean about the Protein. I feel so limited with what we are allowed to eat (drink) and feel very malnourished. At times I think I dehydrate myself and then feel weak, tired and light-headed. I'm pleased that there isn't much pain involved and I'm looking forward to just feeling like my old self again. Just curious, are you allowed Clear Liquids only, or are you allowed fuels with Soups and pudding.? Ps congrats on your sleeve!

Congrats to you too! Yeah I'm on full liquids my doc moved me to them 2nd day in hosp to see if i wouldn't throw it up... still did lol but now im fine with them just can't get a lot in, most i've had is on on my 5th day (today) 1/4 cup of Tomato Soup. before i could only get down 1/8 cup. How about you? And with fluids today i've gotten down almost a full water bottle (16 ounces) seems still like so little. hopefully soon enough i'll be able to drink more then one oz every 15 min.

Hey! I'm a little late, but I was a 9/20'er. Doing great, though a bit lethargic from the calorie deficit. Glad to see you two are doing well.

Welcome to the 9/20 Sleeve Section! The lethergy for me has seemed to subside a little today. I added fat free cream Soup as well as lowfat yogurt. I've also tried to get the majority of Protein in......seems to help. In all honesty, I'm a tad bid concerned. You guys are having difficulty with intake cuz you are so full. But if I have chicken broth, I'm able to sip down 4oz without any problems. I can also do the same with half cup of Jello or yogurt. I can easily get it down in ten minutes.

Awwww, Panda! After reading all the posts, it appears life will get better for both of us. Maybe mine isn't super tight. Or maybe the fluids just go right thru me and therefore doesn't have a chance to fill me up much. Fyi......I found these shakes at MeijerMs called Pure Protein. If you drink two 11oz shakes a day you can easily get your 70g protein in. The flavors are chocolate and strawberry. Pretty tasty. 35g protein per 11oz can. If you don't have a Meijer by you, just google, Pure Protein!

Thanks for your support! I tried something totally off the wall today I blended up my Protein powered with the cup of skim milk and got it all creamy then put it in the freezer and i actually got 1/4 cup down! It was like ice cream lol so three more servings and i got 61grams!! *crosses fingers* I hope i can get it down as easily again took my full alloted 20 min but not giving up! Do you know if that could stretch my sleeve? with ice cream being a slider food i'm guessing that's how i got more then usual down...:unsure: Oh yah and no Meijer by me just kings and safeway is that one of them in a diff name?

Hey! No issue with getting my liquids in, though the most Protein I've been able to get is around 55g. I plan on going to full liquids tomorrow, so I'm hoping to raise that a good bit. I will definitely check out Pure Protein... thanks for the tip!

I've had no problems getting down a full bowl (8oz) of broth since the day after surgery. At first I was a little worried that it was so easy, that something was wrong, but I was that it's not that unusual. Sorry to hear y'all are having issues getting enough Fluid.< /p>

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

        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.

      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
