Any November 14Th Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I had my surgery on November 12th. I am very glad I found this page. It's nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with these issues. I AM NOT ALONE!! LOL! Sometimes it's hard to hear the advice of people who actually have no clue what you are going through. I'm still having pain in my right side. It's not gas, it's kind of like I've been punched in the stomach. Is anyone else having this pain still? I have also stalled. I lost 18 pound in 9 days and then 2 in the last two weeks. Been really discouraged but I have not been eating enough or getting in enough liquids. I feel like I can do either or not both. I really don't like eating now. It seems like such a chore. I guess this is a good thing.

Hi everyone. I too am a Nov. 14th sleever. I had the pain my left shoulder right after surgery' date=' but only for the first day. The doc said it was from the air they pumped in me during surgery. My biggest concern is that I was on liquids only for 2 wks. prior to surgery, and I lost 12 lbs., but it all came back after surgery, and today, I'm only down 13 lbs. - it was 3 wks. this past Wed. I know everyone is different, and it's really hard for me to get the Fluid and Protein all in every day. Maybe this is the reason I haven't lost more? I am walking everyday, and people are starting to notice the inches I've lost, but that scale is definitely not my friend.[/quote']

I am having same issue hardly hungry but I'm forcing myself to drink Water up to 48oz so far.

I can't help much with the right side pain, but I've gone off food too. It HAS become a chore. I hope that changes - not so that I get hungry, but can enjoy food.

They gave me tea in the hospital so I would imagine it is ok in moderation :)

I have noticed that I am very sensitive to the cold! Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if it's my body slowing down everything to conserve energy' date=' my weightloss has slowed down....[/quote']

I have noticed this too! I used to always be the person sweating, bare feet in the house, window open a crack. Now I'm freezing, wearing cardigans and slippers!!

Yup. Me too :( But I've gone off food, so I'm probably not eating enough. I really have to step it up a bit

I am feeling great. I have been stalled weight wise for a week but I feel good. I have still lost 19lbs even with the stall.

Feeling good. Have been cleared to do any exercise I like (bar weightlifting lol). I'm finding my tastebuds have changed again. Stuff that I was happy to eat at week 1/2 now doesn't taste so good. I am down 33 lbs since the 14th.

I'm feeling great! I'm down 40 pounds and am getting sooooo close to ONEDERLAND. I started working out this week and my stall ended - back to losing about 1/2 pound a day. Hoping it continues! Taking one month pics soon. Hope everyone else is doing good!

        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
