January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I felt the same way' date=' it was like the TV was FILLED with Wendy's commercials!! I was ready to kill for a mozzarella stick, but the urge subsided around day 5.[/quote']

Since I love to cook, I've noticed that I'm forcing my family to eat my favorites lol. At least I can still cook them even if I can't eat em!

Hey everyone

So I am 1 day post op and feeling ok. Day of surgery and this morning were pretty uncomfortable. Home now and looking forward to getting a full liquid diet on Saturday. It still kind of hurts to drink Water because of gas pains. :/ doctor said procedure went amazingly well and wishes he had taped it for training purposes!

Put on 6lbs from all the fluids at the hospital. Can't wait to start seeing the lbs drop!! How is everyone else doing?

I'm 3 days post op. Home and on full liquids now. Made the mistake and tried some Cream of Wheat. Too soon. It's just sitting on my chest. I'm sticking to broth and jello!

Congrats to all the new sleevers!

2 weeks postop today down 12.5 lbs. Started purée stage, so far not having any difficulty eating 2 oz each meal. But didn't do so great with the liquids :(

My surgery was on Tuesday. The gas pain and bloating is the worst! I finally passed gas today. I'm ready for this gas to go away!! I haven't had any issues getting my liquids in. I once sipped to much, and that was painful!

I'm finally passing gas, but I'm still in pain. One of my incisions is swollen, and sore. I'm still working on my first shake iof the day. I'm not sure it is even half gone. :(

I love how we can talk about passing gas on this forum... and it is OK - and not only OK - but encouraged... and we all encourage each other in the passing of the gas... it is awesome... but it also cracks me up where we are in our journey together with this!... just made me smile today :-)

I think I would get that incision looked at by a doctor before it gets any worse. I'm no expert but it is very swollen and red. My incisions certainly never looked like that.

Thank you for your concern! I'm waiting to hear from the nurse. My other incisions don't look like that. :( I'm a little scared.

      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.
