January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Is my sleeve too big?

Well' date=' I am 5 days post op and I can drink normal, without sipping, no pain meds and I can walk a half mile. I feel some hunger, I am starting to wonder if I really had surgery.

I can get in my full 64 oz and 60 grams of Protein with out any problems at all. My weight loss post surgery is 9 lbs.

Does this sound right? I am getting nervous that my sleeve is too big or something.[/quote']

Oh this sounds just like me but I'm 7 days postop today!! I guess we should be thankful!!

Hope all you other sleevers are doing well.

I have lost slowly in my opinion. Almost 3 weeks and I'm 15lbs down. I was losing slowly before I changed my diet though. My whole 2nd week I didn't lose anything. I'm not too concerned about racing to the finish line. Sure it would be nice but I know I will continue to go in the right direction. Also I start back to work next week so wanted to be on a more regular eating pattern so I have some idea what to pack for lunch.

I feel so good that I am thinking of going back to work next week too. I hate to jump the gun and then be sorry if I do go back and regret it.

I am/was the same way. I just started on full liquids and there is total restriction for me with creamy Soups and yogurts.

Your weight loss is great. Obviously starting weight and how much we each have to lose is a big part of it. I am 10 days out and 11 lbs down and I'm very happy with that!

I am so glad to hear that others had the same situation that I have, I feel great, this is so incredible. I can hardly believe it.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
