Recommended Posts

I am still in pain. Did any if you go thru this? I went back to work on Monday..and sitting is horrible. I think I am scrunched in the chair... so when I get home I have to lay straight flat with an ice pack on my tummy.. for a while. I still cant reach or bend down. I honestly didn't know recovery would be like this ..oh am eating I am not even sure if I am doing to less too much..

This week I would have

Yogurt (breakfast)

Protein Shake (lunch)

& I will may boil 2 soft eggs (dinner) or a can of cream Soup

I will drink Water all day.. I can get maybe 2 bottles a day down.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF I AM ON TRACK... IS WHAT I AM DOING NORMAL. ..TOO MUCH ...TOO LESS. I feel lost... and honestly getting depressed. ..thanks ..TC

Sounds like you are right on track to me... You can still have ad Jello, pudding, or Popsicles if you want. I wouldn't say I had pain 19 days out but def uncomfortableness.... At about 4 wls out I started to feel half normal and at about 6 wks out I started to get more energy back and the depression began to go away when I had more energy. Rest as much as you can! It will help!

There def will be frustrating times but I can assure you it's not fat you're gaining. Your body is in starvation mode and you are prob retaining Water. The body will do what it needs to to heal itself. Once it heals and no longer feels starved the weight will start to drop off! Two months from now you will

Look back and see that this is the beginning stages! And all the beginning fiasco will be over!

Hi 123... I am better..still not 100% but I am moving around faster and not wincing everytime I get up. Still not comfortable sitting at my desk but I am adjusting and I am taking a half of pain pill at work so it is helping me. ... tomorrow will be a month out.... I am about 20 pounds down but do not feel it much... still stuck on 2 bottle waters and maybe 40 grams of Protein. .but trying every day..

Good job! That's about where I was then too! I think you'll feel way better in about two weeks!

      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.
