Any Chicago sleevers



Recommended Posts

I'm feeling good and very very sore! I just got home about 2 hours ago and I went straight to bed. The pain pump at the hospital made such a huge difference too bad I can't bring that home lol

I am officially in phase 2 soft foods so tonight I will be eating a Gerber baby food chicken flavor.

You're a brave soul. I couldn't bring myself to deal with baby food. my food went into the blender.

I'm still waiting for submission/approval... Oh My GOODNESS... this is taking soo long !!! :huh:

The waiting game is always the worst. I was the same way. I didn't have my approval until about a week after the 3rd class. Once I received approval, I was excited and then nervous all over again. Luckily when you get your approval, you will be scheduling your surgery at the same time.

Thanks Nicole... It's been a week already... So I'm crossing my fingers for that they will call any day now... I am really trying to be patient. But geesh...

Before

After

My Breakfast, 1 slice of bacon and a homemade veggie egg foo young patty (bean sprouts, bell pepper, green onions, and mushrooms)

I'm not an egg girl in the sense that I don't like omelets, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs. So this is the best way for me to eat an egg.

As you can see, I ate maybe half. Georgette ( my sleeve) is really doing her job.

1 can bean sprouts (I prefer fresh, but I keep a can on stand by)

1 cup egg substitute

3 oz chopped crimini mushrooms

1/4 cup green onions

1/4 cup chopped bell peppers

1/2 tsp chopped garlic

2 T soy sauce

Sautee mushrooms, bell peppers, green onions, and garlic. In a bowl add egg, bean sprouts, soy sauce, and sautéed veggies.

Heat a skillet with a little olive oil, spoon the mixture in to pan to size you want the patty. Brown on both sides.

Because I eat small portions now, I was able to make 10 patties

      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. 🤞
