My surgeon says for me not to worry about Protein just yet. First we get in sugar free liquids and that's all I need on my mind. Then comes Proteins a week or so later. <br><br> As for popping a out a poop, my bro in law sharted and only realized it once he got up to walk. So yeah, do not trust a fart this early on. My sister was like "well, I just had to wash Doug's ass, this is my punishment in life" lol

Oh my gosh that's funny! I'm def gonna have to be careful, no sharting for me. I would be mortified and anybody who knew would never let me forget it lol!

I just had my sleeve 2/17. It's been more difficult than I thought , but everyday gets a little better.

The first three days were the hardest for me. Hopefully you begin to feel much better from here on out.

Finally home. Still haven't passes gas or pooped. I'm so damn bloated, it sucks. Lol but hopefully being at home and taking a shower will help. Besides that, I'm doing pretty good.

I just really want the gas or whatever to go away. Like I wish I could bend over or something. I've even had 2 fingers up my butt, and some milk of magnesia. Nothing.

But. I know it'll get better, so I just keep telling myself that over and over. :)

Hey everyone I am having trouble getting the estimated amount of Protein and fluids in. Today has been a little better with the liquids just I can't picture drinking that much protein right now... I was sleeved on Monday feb 17th... Should I call my dietitian ?

I don't think you need to call your dietician yet. My hospital makes us see our dietician one week out (group class) and everyone was struggling to meet their protein needs. I was only getting one shake a day and they were okay as long as I drank all my Water.

Ok thanks Jen! I am working on a Protein Shake right now! Looks like I didn't really make a dent in it yet!!

The first day I finished a whole shake was Wednesday which was day six for me. I took it to my group class with a lot of ice. It was a 2 hour class from 10-12 so I made it at 8 like normal and took it with. I finished the shake and a 16oz bottle of Water. I was so proud. But I don't usually sit around and have time for that. I have my daughter to watch/run around with at home so I set it in the fridge and end up focusing in water and forgetting the shake in the fridge. Lol. I have gotten better though.

      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.
