Don't know what the problem is,just had my sleeve 3wks. ago i hear people talk about how after surgery they go for weeks not wanting anything to eat, but seems like all i think about is eating & i can eat quite a bit before i feel full, i even eat 2 hands full of m&ms today didn't make me sick, i still crave sweets. So discouraged, can someone help.

Wow m&m's I wouldn't even go there I'm to afraid to cause a leak this early in the game but you do you lol ... I'm always hungry buying try to drink when I get that feeling and it kind of passes I crave real food but I'm only 11 days out and if this is the small price I have to pay to get my healthily life then I gladly will pay ....

I mixed vanilla bean Jello pudding and my vanilla bean Protein Powder with skim milk...it's DELISH!!! Whenever I crave something sweet I eat that. So I get my sweet fix and my protein!

Sorry I didn't respond earlier. The first few days after surgery were harder than I expected. Not from the sleeve Per de, but I think from a hernia repair that gave me such incredible reflux or heartburn I felt I was having a heart attack. Then I had some bladder issues and then slight fever and high blood pressure. It finally all turned the corner about 36 hours ago and feeling like I'm heading in the right direction. Heartburn still an issue but not as bad. The only down part is since feeling better I've gotten my appetite back and am hungry. I hope that changes when I can eat real food that fills me up quickly.

Let me know how your recovery is and I'll see if ther is anything I can offer in the way of advice. Hope all is well.

I'm home and last night and this morning have been tough. The radiating gas pains hurt so bad. It makes me cry. I almost vomited a couple of times. Once right after taking my liquid pain medicine. I'm praying for a speedy recovery. I'm not hungry yet. Good to hear back from you.

Lory,

I had to ask for a tablet pain med that I could crush (liquid made me vomit) I hide it in a tiny teaspoon of Greek yogurt. ( I know it's not clear but figured it is better than dry heaving my guys out) I'd also recommend gas x strips? Lots of walking, and a heating pad or microwaveable PEAS from The drug store. I put the hot PEAS pouch where I had gas and it helped. Good luck and I hope for some relief for you soon.

        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
