Had surgery last Wednesday, October 2. I am one week exactly today. I mean, I feel great aside from the gas pain, and light cramping near the incisions. So far I am down 29 lbs....n I can see it in my neck (I finally have a neck) never had one before :-) Seen my surgeon today for the 1 week follow-up n he said all looked good. He started me up on pureed foods. However...im struggling tryin to get my liquids in....I constantly feel full. I can only imagine how much more of a struggle its gon b introducing pureed, im still tryin to figure out how to get my body hydrated, that i dont even want to start the pureed stage! I can barely get 32oz of liquids in! Im sippin all day long, I dont know what to do! Um scared to get dehydrated!

Just go slow and keep sipping. You will be surprised how much you can get down just by taking sips all day. Your tummy is still swollen right now so things will get easier as the days go by! Just concentrate on sipping sipping sipping. Also try different temperatures of your liquid. I could barely get in any Water until I started adding mio and keeping it ice cold, now I pretty much gulp it down! Hope you feel better soon!

Congrats on your new sleeve. I had mine 9/28. Are you not liking fluids? Or can't find time. I am

Just getting there myself. I am

Fine with Water. My problem is when I was laying down a lot. You have to be sitting up to drink or eat anything. Now that I am a little busier I can drag my water around with me. I hope this helps.

      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.
