Hello everyone, I was sleeved yesterday and all I want to do is sleep. First two days have been rough. I feel if they remove the catheter and drain tube I would be able to move better! Good news is I passed the leak test. I'm very weak and they been giving extra fluids. Please send extra prayers up for me.

Sending prayers your way! The first few days are rough, but it will get better. Hope you are feeling better soon!

Complete switch Tues. eggs, deli meat, toast, crackers, cheese, lean beef, chopped chicken and much more. I am beyond ready! My daughters birthday is Monday and got the ok for few bites of thin and crispy cheese pizza. Suprisingly it's not too high in calories, low in sugar and 9gms Protein.

Yum, pizza!!!

I was sleeved on the 10th and even with complications. I am starting to feel better. I was able to go see my son play soccer. I am just slow moving. Can't wait to have full liquids. Isopure has a horrible aftertaste!

I live in Connecticut. I do all my preop stuff tomorrow. Are you guys on Facebook? I love this page called bariatric butterflies. It's so awesome and helpful. I'm so excited. I'm ready for my life to start : )

I looked for this on FB and I can't find it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I get sleeved Monday, 4/23......last minute preparations underway. I should have bought the unjury chicken broth, I hear. I thought Jello with Protein would be better, but now I am reading that fresh sleeves like warm stuff.....

Congrats on your sleeve date! My sleeve didn't have any trouble with cold liquids at all. The first day postop, I could not tolerate Water, but the 2nd day had no problem. I did not put ice in the beverages, but kept them in the fridge.

Finally getting energy! Cleaned out my fridge and walk-in pantry today, made a grocery list of foods I can start eating in 2 days. Just a couple of days ago I called in for my 2 week post-op (surgery was 4 hrs away) and due to being so tired and the demands of my job (pre/post-op RN) we extended my FMLA til the 30th...now of course I feel better! LOL

      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. 🤞
