I Dont Feel Any Different



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 4/23 and I was discharged on 4/25 eating puréed food already. I read so many posts however that most people stay on just liquids for weeks. I guess every surgeon has a different plan. Anybody else eating so soon after? I definitely didn't desire ANY food until yesterday. Now I'm hungry all day and I want to eat a pizza :). The thought of pureeig a pizza makes me not want one so fast!!!

I was on full liquids by day 3 and mushies by day 10. I am still on mushies, but truthfully, a whole lot of things are mushy when you chew them very very well. I go back to regular foods a little more than 6 weeks after surgery, so for me I get to eat some darn peanuts again on the 18th of May. The main purpose is to allow your stomach to heal and help you not hurt yourself. I have had no issues with this diet (except I want a salad more than I can describe).

So how long before you can have relations with the spouse? I had my sleeve done monday

We tried about a week an a half out, it was too soon. The movement made the muscles in my stomach very sore. Tried again a few days later, but I had to keep my tummy from moving too much for about 2 weeks! I think everyone will be different but the muscle healing process should be similar. NOW THAT is TMI, but I hope it helps!

      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. 🤞
