It will get better. Keep sipping on liquids per your doctor's orders and walk walk walk. You'll regain your strength eventually. Use the pain meds your doctor prescribed as needed. It took me about 2 weeks before I didn't need them anymore.

I was sleeved on the 5th, lots of discomfort. I have been walking and sipping, I guess it is helping I still feel like I was hit by a freight train as well. I have this pain that comes and goes between my breasts, does anyone else have this issue?

I get that pain too, it feels much better when I finally burp. Must just be gas.

I was sleeved on the 8th. Have a lot of what I would call gas pain. But, it still HURTS! Sipping every 3 minutes and walking every hour. Hope it gets better soon. The gas is the worst part of this! When can you drink normal amounts vs. sips?

I was sleeved on 11/2 and feel so good I have to stop myself from doing too much. Each day gets better. Walk, do knee bends if you can. I used a heating pad on my stomach and it really helped break up the gas. I am on puréed food noe - they let me start early and I just have to remind myself to go slowly. Just breath, take the meds and move around. You will come to feel normal soon!

I was sleeved on 11/6 doctor said 4 more weeks of liquid but will revisit in 2 weeks. Maybe a cheat on mushy for turkey day. Going back to the gym on Monday. The worst part is burping and hiccups they do hurt. I did ask why so long on liquids he said they have had excellent results with the sleeve healing. So who is it for me to second guess. Good luck everyone thoughts and prayers to you all.

        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
