That's actually common. They pump you full of fluids and you can stay bloated for quite a while.

I'm 10 days post op and I finally saw the scale move today! Must have been pretty overloaded with Fluid and swelling. I'm so impatient too.... Everytime I get off the couch I ask my husband "am I skinny yet?"

My appetite was pretty strong today actually! I kinda felt hungry all day. I had 2 shakes, some sugar free Jello, broth and a lot of Water. Keep your head up. I'm sure you'll definitely have lost some weight by the 25th!!

I did really well, and still am with the shakes.. I can get them down no prob. The soft diet I am on now is a bit challenging. I can only take a couple bites without my stomach going in to spasms. I am certain it gets better but I am feeling super fatigued. Hoping I get some energy soon. I only have one week left b4 I have to go to work.

      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.
