I had my surgery on August 13th (I think) I am eating and drinking fine but I developed reflux and have to take medicine before I eat. I still have a tough time with some foods but for the most part I am eating what I want just very small portions - make sure you are chewing your food into tiny bits and be sure you are taking good Vitamin supplements. I also still use the Bariatrics Advantage shake for Breakfast on most days to ensure I am getting my Protein. Can't ever seem to eat enough to get it all in. The shakes don't hurt my stomach.

I think all of us sleevers went thru a crappy period or two! Im 9 months out now. I promise you both...as soon as your new stomachs catch up' date=' your crappy feelings will pass and you will be able to eat & drink just fine. Hang in there![/quote']

Yeah what she said!!! I was right where you are at one month, today 9 months out breakfast was 3/4 cup kashi crunch with 5oz Greek yougart I shared a cheese stick and granola bar with my 2yr old for snack time a 30 gram Protein shake about an hour ago ,some mussels with parsley and lemon steaming right now for lunch, some chicken breast fillets marinating for dinner later, oh yeah a nice papaya I prepped yesterday for pm snack. I will probably eat 1000-1300 calories and close to 150 grams of Protein today. So there's hope my dear hang in there!!! I might note ,getting active Was the turning point for my energy level and allows me to eat , and not feel guilty.

I would suggest hydration G2 or pedialyte. Also I did better with room temp and warm drinks. I felt like every time I drank something cold everything would just tighten up on me. I also felt like I had a lump in my chest/deep throat area for a while till about the 6-8 weeks mark.

I'm approaching the 3 week mark and I found out if I don't eat or drink enough through the day I get light headed or feel dizzy. I still have pain eating certain foods or drinking milk, but I will mix and match a little, like putting a little milk in my cream of wheat in the morning, or drink my Water with a Protein mix.

      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. 🤞
