Where the May sleevers i just got my date!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on the 28th in Tijuana. My 1 1/2 hour op turned into close to 4 hours. I had adhesions from a previous surgery and it took them hours to release them all. Felt pretty crappy Tuesday night but since then I've felt great!!! No issues with drinking anything. That first cup of tea yesterday was like the nectar of the gods. I had to be careful not to chug it. Lol. Drinking lots of Gatorade, sipping every few minutes. Walked 45 minutes to Walmart, uphill. I've had it easy I think. Poor hubby at home in Canada, on the other hand, says he aged 20 years while I was having my op. can't wait to get home tomorrow. ????

...oh, and today is my first day on soft foods (although I did have some mashed potatoes the other night)...I know that everyone told me that I would definitely feel the restriction, but I just couldn't believe it (kind of like I didn't believe I wouldn't be hungry), but I just tried my first scrambled egg and what do ya know...full after very little. Yahoo!!!!

Potatoes are a slider. Yes, I found this out too. No more potatoes for me for a while.

Im having no issues with Water. . I do feel a little hungry which concerns me.. I thought I wouldnt be. But I eat a little broth and a half of cup of Jello and it satisfies the hunger.. im worry about when I get passed the point of being scared to eat.. what will be satisfying? I havent felt the full part yet, but I havent ate anything with substance either.. I was sleeved 28 May..

Guys.. I was sleeved on Wednesday and still bloated and with my tummy really big like a balloon... how long am I going to be like this? Also.. it's very difficult to know when I'm full and when I'm hungry... it seems that I'm always full and my stomach still aches =/ I'm trying milk today..

My stomach was swollen like that till day 6. Then went down. It's from the air and trauma from surgery. I know you feel full but make sure you get Water and Protein first of all.

      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. 🤞
