3 months post surgery



Recommended Posts

It's been 3 months since my surgery and the experience thus far still amazes me. It must admit it was hard at first. You have to start thinking like a small person. Everything that you use to eat you can hang it up. I find myself looking at food that would have never been enough to fill me up and I am just overwhelmed. Like how did I eat all that before! More Water intake now than EVER. I feel great. My energy level is much better. My kids and their friends workout with me and it makes working out so much fun. In the beginning I was sick a lot couldn't eat was barely getting fluids in and I found myself wondering if I made the right decision. If it's hard for you now don't give up in time I does get better. I had a weight stall for about 2 and a half weeks but after that I started back losing weight. I am down 54lbs since surgery. Good luck sleevers. Just wanted to share.

You are right which is why I don't understand why the weights are not dropping like Water cos if I compare what I eat now to what I used eat? I just scream. I can barely finish a Protein Bar for lunch before I start getting a stomach ache. Even simple salad I can't finish. food is like a job to me now cos I can never finish anything even when I think that I am very very hungry. Leftover foods from my kids and hubby used to bother me a lot when they put it in the fridge and I always found a place to dump the leftovers-my stomach. Now, I'm the one with the leftovers cos I can never finish any food no matter how small and it amazes me. I love my sleeve. Thank you lord and thank you dr. Silva.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
