Hey there! I was sleeved just one day after you, on Sept 27th! Things are starting to get better for me too. I noticed that drinking fluids have gotten SO much better, I barely even think that I'm "sipping". It used to be so painful. I'm also not getting enough Water nor Protein.

I'm averaging at about 500 calories a day now, and having about 30 to 40 ounces of Water (ugh, it's hard!). As for Protein, I'm getting about 40 to 50 grams of protein a day... But I was told to work my way up to between 60 to 100 grams a day. But when I saw my doctor, he told me to just keep focusing on water intake and to have whatever I can as far as protein, and not beat myself up too much.

As far as physically, I'm doing BAD with exercising. I haven't walked enough, let alone exercising. My days haven't been sedentary as much as before, but it's still very bad for what I'm supposed to be doing. I haven't walked a mile yet! I'm ashamed and upset at myself for that :(

Other than that, my scars are still super pink, but completely closed up! Yay. I haven't gotten any pain around my abdomen for about 2 weeks, except for YESTERDAY, when I had this horrible sharp pain around the biggest incision, that kinda felt like gas, but it went away after a little while, so I suppose it was nothing serious. What about you?

      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.
