Houston area, 10.5 weeks post-op. If you're being sleeved in Conroe, I'm guessing your surgeon is Dr. Collier? He did mine. :)

I'm from Beaumont being sleeved in Conroe in 3DAYS!!

You?!

I'm in Beaumont, got sleeved in Dec. over in League City. Good to find a fellow Golden Triangler. Kinda strange, but it made me feel better just knowing there were fellow sleevers in my area.

None at all. I was back to work less than a week later. I needed no pain meds once I left the hospital. The first week was rough because I couldn't stand the Isopure Clear, but once I started purees, life was much more manageable. I've not vomited once since 2 days pre-op. I can handle everything I've tried. I eat pretty much everything I used to - just crazy smaller amounts now. I did cut all carbonation when I started my pre-op and haven't touched it again since. It's actually been very easy.

As of this morning, I'm down to about 250-251, so I'm super close to the 50lb mark now. I'm not the fastest loser, but I'm consistent and I'm actually kind of happy it's coming off at a "normal" rate of about 2lbs per week. I'm hoping it makes my skin bounce back easier!

I feel great and I love my new relationship with food. It doesn't own me anymore. I eat when I'm hungry. Stop when I'm full (which doesn't take much!) I don't deprive myself. If I want something sweet, I have a bite or two - and honestly, that's enough for me. I've dealt with food demons my whole life and I'm starting to understand that this is what a "normal" relationship with food is like. I love it!

Good luck!!

Hey Beatriz! I would love to keep in touch with you. :) It looks like my surgery won't be until June. Still jumping through insurance hoops. If I had the money I would have already gone to Mexico myself and had this done. LOL.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
