Sleeved June 11...doing great!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved last Tuesday and came home Thursday and feel like a million bucks! The only problem was that I was at ER yesterday due to being dehydrated. My doctor sent me in to check my kidney functions due to me having high creatinine levels while I was in the hospital. But they were good after blood work came back so all I had to do was have an IV for fluids and went home. I am just wondering if this is gonna be a routine occurance to be dehydrated. Is this just a temporary side effect of the diet we sleepers have at first? I do drink as much liquids as I can physically take in.

I've not had that problem at all. I never did drink much before surgery and now I have a problem getting in 5-6 cups a day. I am 7 months out.

Also, I noticed on my diet food list that I can have Tomato juice or V8. Has anyone tried that within a week postoperative!

I was discharged on full fluids so I did a strained tomato bisque a few days after surgery with no issues. Some people so have issues with V8, tomato juice, etc. Maybe start with a quarter cup and see how do you with it.

No, dehydration is not normal. You should be sipping CONSTANTLY. They had me doing a log that was detailed in 15 min increments. I put a checkmark each time I took a sip. I was able to start with a sip = half an ounce at a time and increase it to 1 ounce at a time (using a shot glass :lol:).

I was sleeved june 12! I got the Diet V8 Splash and have no problems and I'm having iced tea and such. I have been able to get in my 64 oz liquids and I personally am aiming (and reaching) 60g of Protein a day. It is an all day process! And I'm going this morning to get some smaller drinking glasses. It is true, I was drinking too fast with a larger glass.

I think that I also need to get some smaller glasses...lol! But I will try the V8 Splash like you said. At least it will be something different. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Hi! I was sleeved on the same day! How much liquid are you taking in? I feel like I'm on the low side of my Doc's reccs, but its a struggle to get just that much in. But the amount is slowly increasing everyday... I'm pretty satisfied with that (hopefully he won't fuss too much at my appointment tomorrow). And I'm def trying some V8 tomorrow!... I can't believe I'm excited for V8!

Good luck!

      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. 🤞
