Question ? Is this normal



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve done on the 12th of feb (5) days ago and I feel like I can A, go bad to work already B, eat whole food already Is this normal ? My incisions are healing nicely And I'm not on any pain meds since day two As of right now I'm doing 11/2 of the GNC shakes and broths, crystal light & Water and two spoonfuls of farina per day plus chewable Multivitamin chewable Pepcid AC and a chewable Calcium pill. Is anyone else going thru this ? I want to eat something soiled and I want to hit the gym and do stuff !!

I don't have answer for you but I hope after I get my sleeve this Monday, I'll have similar feelings :-)

Plumb, people do feel like that early on, but don't do it. Your stomach is not healed and if you go too quickly and eat solid foods you could seriously damage yourself and end up in the hospital. Stick with the plan. It's hard, but you can do it. Ask your doctor about when you can hit the gym, you don't want to pull stitches. Walking you can certainly do, but get your doctor's clearance before trying anything else this early on. Good luck :)

You take longer to heal from the inside than from the outside. Just think of your pouch like a baby. You wouldn't feed certain things to a baby. Good luck and you can do this!

its been 16 day since i was sleeved , and today i had a scrambled egg for the first time in 3 weeks ,i got to say i wasn't looking forward to it, i guess after 3 weeks of not eating and only drinking you get used to it , it went down easy and i have to say i couldn't finish it , LoL this coming from a guy that could easily eat three eggs in one sitting , I'm down 23LBS already ? thank you for the support and answers that you just cant get anywhere else ,

I'm 4 mos out on Mon and still can't do scrambled or boiled eggs. I'm jealous! 23 lbs is great keep up the good work. I still mainly live off of deli shaved ham, cheeses, cottage cheese, dannon light&fit Greek yogurt and chicken and real cheeseburgers. I do eat kashi Protein Cereal with Braums 1% milk and it hasn't seemed to slow down my loss. Down 57lbs since sleeve! Can't wait until summer weather!

        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.

      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
