Sleeved May 9...depressed, regretting having they surgery!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved may 1st and its been a rough road. I didn't like any Protein Shakes I tried a bunch and have plain Protein Powder added it to cream Soup and choked it down. Now I'm on puréed so I try to eat tuna eggs and cottage cheese and drink sugar free carnation Breakfast. I am hoping to come across a Protein Shake that I like. I can only eat 3-4 bites at a time then am full for hrs. I did miss food at first and was miserable but now I'm use to it. I don't even crave chocolate for some reason I am craving a big fat turkey sub lol I'm nervous to eat regular food again Idk how my stomach will handle it. In the beginning I the puréed stage and even now every now and then I puke. I don't regret it though I've lost 30 lbs and look forward to keep loosing I also started walking I really want this weight off and feel good being 30 lbs lighter!!

I went through a period of wanting a sandwich so bad! You just want to bite into something, huh? When you're on liquids and soft food you just want some "real" food! Have you tried Premier Protein ready made Protein drinks? I love the chocolate one! I've tried several and this one was the best fit for me. I get mine at Sam's and they come in vanilla and chocolate. Walmart may have them too and in a smaller thing to try...not sure.

No laura I haven't tried those but I'm willing to try anything that will help me out

If you go to GNC they will have a variety of drinks that are not milk based..

Grape is my favorite. Alpine Punch isn't too bad either.

Ah good! I've never had a problem with the milky shakes, I still drink the premiers 6 months out!

But some people just can't stomach those.

So sorry you are having a time of it. As people said above, try the Isopure. Best source of Protein. I second the grape. I lived on it for several weeks.

It will get better.

Hang in there.

I drink GNC premade Total Lean shakes. If you put these in the freezer for a little bit they taste just like a chocolate shakes. Take it from me you will have up times and down times. You are not alone please find someone on here to lean on and you will get passed this.

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
