I had my sleeve on the 17th of May. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. The pain wasn't bad the gas isn't too bad. Still feels like nothing ever happened. I can only eat half a cup of Jello so far though. When did everyone start cream of Soups? I have lost 9lbs since surgery. Amazing

I can only eat 3 tb spoons n I'm done lol...

Surgery was May 15th :)... Had lost 22lbs.. And I just can't wait until May 30th dr. Appt...

I want some creamy Soup also :(::..

I am doing great, thank you! Just started on Protein drinks 2 days ago, so that has been my little bit of excitement! Incisions are healing super well.

So all is good!

3 weeks post-op today and have lost 31 lbs....

I don't get the old "hungry" feeling, i get a "empty" feeling about every 2.5 - 3 hours... I eat about 1/4 to 1/3 C and i am satisfied .... That feels so good, to have some kind of portion control...

I do find head hunger sneaks in every once in awhile but since i was reading on here months before my sleeve, i knew it was going to happen... Its easier to handle it, sine i knew what it was...

I have 1 more week of soft and mushy ... Next Thursday i get to eat a "general" diet....i have to admit to kind of makes me nervous .... Ok, it really scares the cap out of me! what if i mess up...what if i eat the "wrong" food (just cause i can) .. to me, wrong foods, are ones that got me where i was... (bread, chips, Pasta, carbs, carbs, carbs)... i am home alone every day... I want summer here, so i can sit outside in my wheelchair so i am away from the food... Harder to get into the house, so this could help...

Wow, sorry about the pity pot talk, and length of this post, but i feel better getting it out in the open... Thank you all for listening...

Sorry but I realize how you feel. Even though I didn't eat McDonald's hamburgers before, someone was at my house eating one when I was on the liquid pre-op and I thought to myself "I could so lick that".....so you're not alone in the licking impulse, hopefully once we eat solid food, we can add flavor etc so we aren't quite so compelled.

Hello' date=' I have taken the first few steps towards getting gastric bypass/sleeve surgery. I went in today and had my first meeting with the Dr and his team. I was looking to having the sleeve done but after talking to the Dr Asst. she recommended the bypass. What made you pick the sleeve over the bypass?[/quote']

The bypass is way more radical and has greater percentages and likelihood of complications including dumping syndrome and such. My BMI is only 36 and I have about 100 pounds to loose. I believe bypass should only be done in morbidly obese patients, and I chose the sleeve because of the lower complication and side effect rates.

Well, I did it! May 21 with dr aceves. Left hospital yesterday and got home last night. Doing well! Bit of a nasty rash everywhere I have skin folds. But taking Clear Liquids down fine and getting all my Protein in. Tried French onion Soup today with unflavored Unjury powder (strained out onions) but sort of went right thru me. Might need to go easier with chicken broth. aceves has me on clear liquids until 10 days post op, so easing into it. Good luck to all the other may sleevers!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        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
