Who else was Dec 3?!



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery this past Monday. I am at home recovering with two very little children (7mo and 2yrs). I am working really hard and am getting all my Water and Protein in. So far, my only side effects are pain still in the big incision, nausea (gone now) and bad Constipation. It is a wonderful feeling though to not be hungry all the time anymore!!!! How about you guys?! Successes?? Setbacks?? Just wanted to see how everyone else was doing with their new sleeve. :)

I too was sleeved on Dec 3rd. Feeling great, still tire easily, but gets better every day. How are you doing? I'm in the mushy food stage and AMAZED at how little food makes me full. Best thing ever - no more diabetes meds and HBP meds down to 1/2 a pill per day!! Looking forward to this journey, feels like an adventure.

Hi! I was sleeved on Dec. 3rd. I go for my two week follow up tomorrow. Anxious to see what foods they will allow me to start. So tired of the liquid diet! I cheated and had mashed potatoes and gravy yesterday! Its been hard to get the Protein in...trying to get fluids in continually...so ready for some baked fish or MEAT!!! I know I won't be able to eat much, but a bite every hour...oh yeah! I have lost 16 pounds since the surgery, in two weeks. I lost 15 on the pre op diet (two weeks). (and I lost 16 prior to that-a little over six weeks) So I have a total loss of 47 pounds since Oct. 13th. I had my first non weight loss ta da moment yesterday! Realized that I had room between me and the steering wheel!, almost gotta move the seat up! AND between my keys and my cell phone, my pants almost fell down! :D

Hi I'm also a Dec 3 sleever. I went for my post op today. Lost 16 lbs. I actually felt disappointed--I guess I'm unrealistic. Maybe if I walked more like I was supposed to. The doctor said it was good. Now I got to pureed foods for a week and then regular. I'm a little scared but anxious to get beyond just shakes and Clear Liquids.< /p>

      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.
