Hi from Mississippi!! Was sleeved on the 19th too and doing great!! My doc is being more cautious with me that I think he should. Still on full liquids. I guess I shouldn't complain though...I'm a revision from the lapband and he said he was really concerned about the extensive scar tissue I had. I've also survived my first stall. Thank goodness that's over for now!!!

Anyway, hope everyone is doing great!!!

Sleeved 12/19/12. Feeling great! More energy. Reading all labels, weighing / measuring foods. Hit a stall - now passed - down 41 lbs. Mr sleeved same day - down 62. Walking 2- 3 times day for 20 - 30 minutes. Spent part of Sunday clearing out spare room upstairs down to am empty room and transforming into an office space for new job working remote / telecommute - which starts soon. Wish you all good health and continued success.

My doc advanced me to mushy Protein on day 3 and regular texture Proteins (no red meat for 30 days) on day 14. I'm surprised some folks are still on liquids. Glad to see everyone's making great progress.

That is so wonderful! Glad you are feeling so good and have had a wonderful start. I have lost 27 lbs since being sleeved on Dec. 19th as well and 40 overall since last Sept. with my preop diet. I feel well on the path, I am trying to make the most of this period of weight loss because it is the best during the whole journey. I will be going to soft foods at the end of the week and not go to a regular modified diet for another 6 weeks after that. enjoy!

I've lost 18# since surgery on 12/19 and 16# on my 2 weeks pre-op mostly liquid diet. I'm happy with 34# in 6 weeks. I think it could be more but I'm not getting 64 oz of liquids a day. I'm between 34 and 50 on most days. Did anyone get pain in their left shoulder and/or chest? Gas-X strips work wonders. Here's to getting lean in 2013!

Hi Fellow 19th sleevers, its been a little crazy for me, had bad gas trapped for a few days then a sour stomach for 4 days and finally I am feeling great again. Went to my Nut and got a bunch of new foods to eat and I don't have to drink Pea Protein and best of all I lost 30lbs and 20lbs of that is fat. Its been rough and I ain't looking back, forward go go go. Hope everyone is doing good.

Oh George's Aloe Vera works well for sour and upset stomachs.

      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. 🤞
