My Sleeve Is Showing Me Who The Boss Is!



Recommended Posts

I have been feeling so good the past 2 weeks I decided the post-op diet was just more of a suggestion! I got a little tired of full liquids and decided to have a few teaspoons of Peanut Butter. I literally broke out in a cold sweat and thought I was going to lose my Cookies a few minutes later. Maybe these Dr's really do know what they are talking about. Hello chicken broth.......

Dont push the post-op diet too hard. Your sleeve may not tell you that it's hurting because the nerves have been numbed by surgery. You don't want to push it until you cause a leak.

DDFinn, I'm glad yours said WHOA... and patience is a virture. Soon you'll be back on regular food and this will all fade from your mind. :)

Hey DD ... I know the feeling! I snuck a few of my daughter's goldfish.. had about 10 of them.. and I swear on the 10th one - I actually Heard MY stomach gurgle - and it was like slow motion.... As I put the last one in my mouth, the others were making their way back up! Girl, I had the shakes, the sweats... I was in the bathroom, thinking I don't know whether to Sh*t or go blind!!! I mean I was in the bed for 30 minutes thinking.. did goldfish really just take me out????? well, I may end up extending my "liquid" phase even longer because the thought of something non-liquid gives me the willies!

BTW, weighed myself today, and I'm down exactly 16 pounds since 3/9.. woo hoo!

      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.
