I was sleeved on 10/18, and weighed in at 379 at the time of the surgery.

As of this morning, I'm down to 347, so a loss of 32lbs.

I'm thinking this is primarily due to the fact that nothing interests me. I have no urges except for Water.

Sleeved 10/22 and down 17lbs, getting in two Protein Shakes a day and maybe 24 ozs. of Water. Moved on to puréed today and had 1/2 a poached egg with 1/2 tb. Ricotta took me over an hour to finish and not sure if I'll be able to get my water and shakes in today.......

Sleeved 27 Oct and weighed 345 day before surgery and now 12lbs down today.

Finding it hard to get in enough Protein and Water. Lost the desire to eat. Although woke up after dreaming of eating all the sugary things i used to eat! Very scary!

That's been happening to me lol. I have no appetite whatsoever since surgery on 10/24, however in the past week since surgery I've had about 4 separate dreams where I'm stuffing my face with the bad foods I used to love to eat. It's crazy!

I'm glad you understand! The worst thing is in the dream I knew I had had the sleeve and still didn't care whilst binging. Awful. I now view this as a reminder of how I became this weight in the first place. No going back for me.

Sleeved on the 23 and I am down 12 lbs so far. I am struggling to get my Protein and Water in. Any one have any ideas of protein that is really unflavored protein, I can still taste the whey in the Unjury and it makes me sick !!!

I can taste and smell the protein in the unflavored as well. It gags me. I'd love to find something I can mix it in that is tolerable to me. Please let me know if you find the magic combo.

I too have absolutely no appetite whatsoever! It's so bizarre to think that I've gone nearly 3 weeks on just liquids and have been fine with that! My surgery date was 10/15, weight was 259lbs on day of surgery... Before pre-op diet I was at least 276lbs (had been more but don't remember exactly how much)... Now I am down to 240lbs for a grand loss of 36lbs! I've definitely hit a plateau however, as I have stayed the same weight for almost a week (which is so strange considering how little I'm taking in- just liquids and Protein shakes!!)... It like goes against science to not be loosing weight!!! Oh well... I'm sure it will happen soon, I still want to loose another 90lbs :)

Sleeved October 24th. I entered the hospital at 327, left at 338 (IV fluids/ swelling), I am now down to 312!! So 15 lbs are gone forever. I lost 14 pounds on my own before my surgery, so that is 29 lbs gone forever!!! I'm at a stall right now, but reading the posts on these boards gives me hope that this is common. I can't wait for the next loss!! Now that I am on soft foods, this journey has gotten much easier! I am drinking one Protein Shake a day and getting the rest of my Protein from food! I've also been able to get all my Water in...though most nights I am sitting up before going to bed, trying to get in those last few oz. lol!

Also, I have heard that there is no true unflavored Protein. The unflavored just isn't flavored with anything else. I found that Soup masks the odor/flavor the best , but it is gagful in a drink! I tried adding it to my crystal light, and it was torture choking that down! Blech!

I found adding unsweetened cocoa, PB2 powdered Peanut Butter and sweetened with Stevia is the best non Protein Powder smelling :-) shake I've had. I must have drank 50 of them before and after. Still like it too!

      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.
