January Sleevers thread - how is everyone doing?



Recommended Posts

Hello Family sleeved 1/8 am doing good having a problem getting all my Protein in not that I can't keep anything down just forget sometimes :( I can eat almost anything as long as I chew a million times!!! Ate some raw pepperoni's last night and it came right back up too greasy!!! Weighed 265 day of surgery down to 241 so far so good!!! Even though I can't see it everyone else has noticed!! LOL I'm happy with my decision just gets a lil frustrated with how little I can eat before I'm full but what the heck that was the purpose right!! So each day I can honestly say gets better!!!

How much can u get in?

My post-op appointment is Thursday but things have been great so far. No complications, no pain, no issues at all aside from some pants no longer fitting and being completely sick of this liquid diet :)

Hi all & congratulations on losses and your decisions!

I was sleeved on 1/16. HW was 350ish, DOS 339.5, today's weight is 318.6.

I was amazed at my recovery, I pretty much slept for the first two days home. I went back to work 5 days later an have just felt pretty darn good!

I went to soft foods yesterday and have INCREDIBLE heartburn with refried Beans, Prilosec isn't even touching it. Did very well with cottage cheese last night, my tummy talked about it for at least an hour.

I seem to be able to tolerate any fluids and can finish a rather large amount of Soup at one sitting but on soft foods I can only do about 1/4-1/2 cup at a time. I'm tracking my calories on an iPhone app and I'm trying to get anywhere between 600-900.

I didn't go through any regret phases, I was just anxious the week prior to surgery. It might sound stupid, but I was just so upset I'd never be able to pig out at a Chinese buffet again. Looking at it now I can't believe I stressed out about it.

My husband and I go with a group of friends on a 7 day cruise on Oct. 27. Excited to buy a real bathing suit this year!

Take care!!! <3

Finally got the ok to go back to the gym (no heavy lifting yet) and move on to soft foods today. I had a scrambled egg and a little applesauce. It was wonderful! Went down with no difficulty and didn't feel any tightness or nausea.

I was sleeved Jan 9 th and I've lost 22 lbs. I eat between 900-1200 calories a day. I have no weakness and am losing weight. I can eat most anything in soft foods. I ate one piece of whole grain bread (100 calories 7 grams protein) with one egg for Breakfast and tuna or chicken salad with crackers for lunch , a Greek yogurt for snack , cottage cheese for dinner. I feel great. I am doing a mile a day on the treadmill. I love my sleeve!

Hey everyone!! I was sleeved on 1/30. I started at 253 on the first day of my liquid diet. I was 239 DOS and today (day 5) I'm 230. I'm on full liquids and have created some interesting strained Soups. I ordered some new Protein today in hopes I can get more down!

      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.
