November Sleevesters?



Recommended Posts

For me, once I hit day 4 and 5, I was over the hunger. It's mind over matter - just try and stay busy, go to sleeve earlier. I cleaned out my cupboards and my closet and went shopping for smaller clothes and it helped make me look forward and not think about the diet.

Hang in there! Day 2 like I said is not great. When do you head home? Get moving around to the extent you can to move the gas pains. Day 3 hopefully is better for you. Keep me posted on your progress

Majority of today I slept. I woke up every 2 hours and walked and it helped with the gas. I'm feeling better. I head home tomorrow I think I'll be more comfortable at home.

How bad is the barium? I'm so afraid its going to be so nasty it will make me sick. I got real sick after one of my c-sections and that was not fun at all....

I should add I'm.two days in to a fifteen day preop all liquids and I'm ready to cry

- I felt the same way! all liquid all the time - makes me gag. so everyday I add something (I know I'm not supposed to) but I have a yogurt or sf jell or a piece of plain turkey. If not I would scream. I figure three days before surgery (which is this Monday 11/12) I will have nothing but a few shakes; Water and clear broth. I can't drink 5 shakes a day - simply can't do it. Other people may be able to, but not me. Good luck everyone!

The pre-op diet is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I won't lie, I cheated a couple times during the first week. I've stuck to it this week, but its been difficult. I only have 3 more days. I cannot wait until its over and my diet was somewhat easier than most people's.

      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.
