December sleevers!



Recommended Posts

@ Dolphin Kisses, I was born and raised in Walbridge Ohio, Just south east of Toledo. I now live in Michigan.

@ Sleeve Dreamer, are you coming off of caffiene? If so, you might try weaning yourself ....those withdrawl headaches are a bummer! Also i am on day 9 of my preop diet. I had a head ache the first 2 days.

Hopefully you willbe pain free soon.

@ Cooper...we are sleeve twins!

Just started my one-week pre-op on Tuesday. So far, is isn't so bad! I surprisingly have more energy than before (most likely because I was having a food funeral for the past 3 weeks), and I'm really not that hungry. I miss eating, but thats about it!

Roxyrooster, No I have not had any caffeine for a long time, so i guess it is just an adjustment. I will get over the headaches soon i hope!

My preop diet is not low calorie, but is low carb. I have felt weird... like my legs feel heavy, just super low energy. I guess that is why i have never been able to do low carb for very long, i just don't feel great. I know I can maintain it to my surgery (Monday!!!) but I am worried about how I am going to feel post op considering how lousy I feel right now.

My preop is doing better than I thought. I went to the mall today and took with me in a small cooler the Protein Plus premixed drinks from costco (very good) and a sugar free Jello. I drank a bottle of Water on the way there and to home, now I am having my Unjury chicken broth. I guess this proves we can really survive without eating all the time! I can't wait til I am on the soft foods stage so i can puree some Soups. What is the average people lose during the preop? Anyone know?

      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
