January 2014 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

This is my first time here. My date is Jan 15 and I am on day 4 of my liquids only. Part of me feels this is easier than I expected and part of me is dreading having to keep this up after surgery.

Welcome and congrats! Looks like your a couple days away from changing your life.

They shud have kept you in hospital until you could swallow Water without vomiting it back!

Reduce the amount of water taken on each sip and increase the time in between sips to abt 30 mins - you shud do better in another days time and then increase the frequency of water intake as soon as you stop bringing it back out.

Take small steps at a time! Cheers

In one sitting? With no pain? You are LUCKY!!

It took me two hours to eat my Jello cup today. Yesterday I couldn't do it. I think it really does depend on your healing process. It looks like mine is going to take awhile. I can't tolerate hardly anything. I just asked my mother to go buy me jars of baby food....something has to work! It took me 24 hours to drink a 16.9 oz bottle of water!!!!

So sorry to hear your having a hard time with your food. Sending Healing prayers your way.

5 day count down for me. And I am getting excited and nervous all at the same time. The only problem is the hospital wont let me daughter come and send me off to surgery with a hug and a kiss so that part is a hard one.

That's odd. The hospital I used let my mom sit with me in the preop room and let her give me a hug before they wheeled me out to the operating suite. I'm sorry they won't let you have your daughter with you.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
