Mine has been rough and I've had some complications. I hope and pray you do better. I still can't keep hardly anything down, but I have lost 22.5 pounds. So far I'm still in the regret phase tho :/

I was sleeved 1/27 and I am doing pretty well, I think. No problem getting my Water in-- does not hurt to drink. I like my Protein Shakes and have no trouble with those. I also have some Isopure Zero fruit flavored Protein Drinks that I like a lot. I am starting pureed foods tomorrow... thinking eggs with a little ham and cheese for Breakfast. Excited to be moving to the next phase! I am walking some (although we got a foot of snow today so I did not get my walk in) and went back to work today (I am able to work from home and will be doing that until Thurs. when I am heading into the office!).

Try the shakes from GNC called Total Lean. They are not thick like others I have tried and they are not too sweet either. My shakes were giving me terrible gas and they were too thick. These are better. Good luck.

Awesome job! I pray you will be better soon n be able to appreciate the decision I'm sure u prayed about until the very last moment. It's difficult but worth a healthier u. Lord will u will resolve soon. I'm not on Protein Shakes yet. I'm having Isopure juice type drink until my one week follow up. I will keep u in my prayers @Stephg keep us updated.

One week out today - down 14.4lbs. Had some issues with my body not agreeing with the sucralose that is in most Protein powders. Found some that is made with stevia and now I am finally hitting my daily protein goals. Go back and see my nutritionist on Monday, looking forward to the next phase of this diet. Being able to eat some actual food instead of strained Soups, shakes and Water sounds delightful. Hang in there for all those that are struggling, you are in my prayers. This will get easier. Much love - Heather

      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.
