hi fellow sleevers

today i'm officially one week post-op. i didn't really have any problems. no gas pains, no drain causing probs. prob with sleeping, but i think thats common.

one problem i had (and i was expecting this) i have teeny teeny little veins.Special IV team was called, and after many attempts they still couldn't get the IV in. I have many battle scars to prove it. They finally succeeded. ouch ouch ouch

Other than that, I'm still kindof weak-but walking around (not as much as i should), drinking my Protein shake, so far only 2 a day - getting most of my Water in though, what am i missing?.

Hubby took 2 weeks off to help me (what a guy!!)

i'm really tired, my bed is calling me for a nap. zzzzzkathy

re-read this has not been the best post, i reallam tired.................

Hello all. I had my surgery on 12/12 and I just went in for my check up with the doc. He says everything is great and that I have lost 20 lbs since I went in to see him before the surgery.

I had a bit of trouble with the pain meds in the hospital. Made me really sick the first night. Once they straightened that out I was okay. Just ready to come home and take a loooooong shower (which I did).

The first week of liquids only drove me crazy. I got to the point that everything made me want to barf. Now that I have added some actual food I feel 100% better.

I'm trying to remember to drink my water!!!!! Hopefully the lbs. will come off in due time. I'm trying not to become obsessed with the scale, so I don't weight everyday.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
