September 2013 sleevers..Requesting sleeve buddies :)



Recommended Posts

I used a heating pad or a microwaveable protect called PEAS and placed it where the gas pains were. I think it helped me. Plus of course walk, pass, walk, pass. Still hard to pass gas in front of my dad but o well.

so today was my 4th day post op, and I actually feel better! The nausea is reduced to "little to none". The way I've been feeling the last couple of days, I never thought i'd see the day where i'd be nausea-free. The only thing though, is that I still can't have much to drink.. I can't describe the feeling, but it's not a feeling of "I'm full", it's more like a "is this hunger? or am I going to throw up? what is this?" everytime I drink something, it's that unfamiliar feeling I get that I can't quite explain... :-/

Earthy- is it a tightening in your chest and a slight pain? Then it subsides? It's a mixture of gas and too much in your sleeve. Mine does the same...she's a real pain in the a$$ lol

Congratulations, let the losing begin

I was sleeved on Aug 26 and it was the easiest surgery I've had. Do what you're doctor says and you will recover well.

Post here, for help with so many things. I bought sugar free syrups to make my shakes. Someone on thus site had posted about them and they are great. Davinci, is one brand.

Sometimes I feel so good I forget I had major surgery. Happy to say after a stall at 3 weeks I m losing again down 37pounds.

The only way I was able to get the Protein in was with one packet of the Unjury clear chicken soup... It sat well enough with me, I had half during Breakfast, and the other half during lunch time...

Hey all you September Sleevers.

How is everyone doing?

I am 3 weeks PO today. Feel great!

Back to the gym this am. I have been walking in the mornings since its so nice here in Tejas. (rare)

So just did some cycling, and some arms. Tried not to do anything that would pull on the tummy.

I am down 20 lbs. Which 7 was pre op diet. But happy.

I know I will loose slower since I was revision. But if I can stay 20 lbs a month, I will be one happy camper.

Lets all check in and see how everyone is doing now that we are on the loser's bench.

Like Montiep, this has been an easy transition. The first night in the hospital was uncomfortable mainly because the nurses kept coming in and doing vitals. Gas and Nausea were a pain as well. Nausea only lasted 2 days, and gas comes and goes, no real pain anymore though. I am drinking Water from a glass now, instead of from a 1oz cup. Doctor commented when I went to get the drain out 4 days later, that I was moving around really well. So far I have lost 31 pounds (I haven't weighed myself since the last doctor visit), and can easily see the potential for a new me!

Good luck to the rest of the September sleevers. I realize how lucky I am with my surgery. I hope those who haven't been as fortunate gets better soon.

      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. 🤞
