So I'm 2 weeks post today. I am doing well on Soups and mushy foods. I have vomited a few times from taken that one bite too many. Ughh I hate that feeling. I now know when to stop because I usually belch or get the hiccups. I have no problems getting in the Water and crystal light. Protein Shakes are now disgusting to me but I have managed to get down atleast one per day. I am not itching on my palms and feet. This is so weird and annoying. I am walking 2miles 3x a week. Sometimes I do still experience stomach pain and pain on my right side after walking. How are all my fellow Sleevers doing? Feel free to share your experiences. Best wishes:-)

Hi!

I am nearly 1 week post-op and finally feeling human again! I get to start the non-clear liquids tomorrow....YIPPEE!!! I am with you that the shakes are simply repulsive, but I heard with the brand I still have left adding a teaspoon of Peanut Butter cuts the nastiness (and obviously adds a little more protein).

i have not yet met my daily requirement of Protein, but only drinking Isopure has been the factor. I am a protein *****, so I know i wont have an issue when I am done with Clear Liquids :-)

Exercise has been slow, but it is happening. I decided I will hit a mile today and plan to hit 2 by early next week. We have a lake near our house that is 2-miles around and I want to be walking it by the end of next week.

Thanks for your post. Mine is boring, but I am so thrilled to be writing it! This journey is going to be GREAT!

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
