Hi! I was sleeved on 7/18 and have lost 52 lb so far. I am not able to eat much at all but I don't really have any cravings either. No regrets even on those "bad" days. :) I know this was the best decision for me.

I am eating between 2 and 4 ounces a time 4 times per day. Really loving veggies right now which isn't helping my calorie and Protein intake :) I average about 650 a day. My surgery was July 24th as well. Totally loving my sleeve.

Off topic- are all of your lap sites healed? I have one that just doesn't want heal :(

My large one is almost healed. Last time I saw the dr he told me I could use neosporin and that really helped it heal alot faster.

How are you doing with raw veggies? I haven't tried any yet. I just started eating lettuce and I am so happy my tummy accepts it. :)

I have had no problems with raw veggies. They fill me up really quickly, but cause me no pain or discomfort and are super satisfying to me right now.

I was sleeved 7/26 and having no issues with eating anything. I am losing slowly but my doc says I'm right where I should be so I'm not worrying about it. 2 wk Preop and all I'm down 38 lbs.

Hi, sleeved on July 18 and have lost 44 lbs since surgery...but right now it has sloooowed down. Just started eating lettuce sandwich, and had no problem with the lettuce. Incisions all healed but it bothers my tummy if my pants are to high and pressing on anything belly button and up. Been pulling my pants up because they are big:)

I can't deal well with chicken ,ground beef or bread ! Chicken was always my favorite.....but I have heard a lot of people totally change even their favorite foods...I seem to do really well with fish! My weight loss has slowed down a lot too...but I believe it's a lot to do with the fact I can't hardly get all the Protein I need.

I was sleeved July 27th, and, including preop, I'm down 46 pounds. I feel like this was a miracle. I'm out of plus sized clothes, have tons of energy, have no food intolerances, and feel great. I started running again last week and am slowly but surely feeling like my old self.

I'm eating 700-800 calories per day, and upwards of 80 grams of Protein. I've started adding veggies and fruits, and have been trying to have some veggies at least every day. It's tough. I don't have a hard time getting my Protein in, but I do have to work at it.

Hi Jnfrbnvds,

I was also sleeved on July 24th. So far 41 pounds down, and really happy about that. My incisions are pretty well all healed, but I have always been a really fast healer. I too am also very happy I had the procedure. I can't eat much food, and focus on eating the Protein first, which usually fills me up. I have to confess that I do have an OJ smoothie in the morning, which I add one scoop of Protein powder, to help get all my Protein. I use the 50% less sugar OJ. My big issue I still struggle with is getting all my liquids. Getting sleeved was truly the best thing I have ever done for myself!

      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.
