I got sleeved on feb 4th and today I managed to drink 11 oz of Protein shake no problem. Kinda scared that my sleeve was left to big. Any thought?

I think this is a very common concern for newly sleeved. I just had my surgery a week and a half ago, and I have seen the same question come up in other forums. Those who have gotten past the liquid phases all say that with solids you definitely know when you are full, much more than with liquids or soft food.< /p>

This is very common, I did not feel restriction until I started eating the soft foods, I wondered the same thing and then...bam that too full feeling hits you and you never question it again! lol

Perfectly normal! I had no problems with liquids at all. I was drinking almost normally by the evening after my surgery. And shakes were not a problem at all.

I started feeling restriction when I started eating things like Cream of Wheat and oatmeal on the second week. When I finally got to more solid food the restriction kicked in big time. With dense Protein I can only eat a few bites before feeling like I swallowed a brick....

So don't worry- everything is good!

Thanks. I am just a worry type of person I guess. I just want to be healthy and thin.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
