Almost three weeks out 15 pounds



Recommended Posts

If I never see another Protein Drink again it will be too soon; although I still have a whole case that I plan to take back for refund and a couple in the fridge. I absolutely hate them and the ones I do like have too much sugar and my sleeve doesn't like that; or, some are made with milk and cause too much gas, cramping etc. Most take like sludge LOL. I'm also pretty sick of Soup too, of any type. I'm 4 weeks out and today, I decided to get my Protein in by eating soft foods that I will either chew until they are Water or, process them in the food processor if needed. Will see how it goes. Had some sushi today, not much but my sleeve has been able to tolerate it so far. Today, just feeling fatigue and my back in bothering me a little. I guess from being so inactive for the last month. I guess the feeling for me today is "I'm sick of being sick, I want to be normal again,"

I can relate to both of you! 16 days post op and sick of being sick and not being able to get in my Protein. I started feeling really strange due to lack of protein so I took a trip to the Vitamin Shoppe today and bought something called New Whey Protein..it has 42 grams of protein and is much smaller than the Isopure drinks so hopefully this will help until I can start having real food. Good luck to the both of you!

When was your surgery? Mine was 1/18. I had a premier Protein shake today. I got them at costco. They are only 11 oz. and 30g of protein. They also taste pretty good.

My surgery was 1/11. I think I'll try those once I'm out of my Protein Shots. I thought it would be a piece of cake to get in my 80 grams of daily protein but its sooo hard that I'm lucky if I can get in half.

      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. 🤞
