Any April Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Mine was April 1st. I am soooo ready to move to purees, but kinda scared to. Posted and hoping to receive suggestions from longer-term VSGers on what is good pureed. I had an absolutely horrible 24 hours after surgery. Almost uncontrollable vomiting and retching, so I am a bit spooked. :0 Everyone else doing well?

I had the same 24 hours after surgery. I'm only 3 days out and I haven't even been able to hold down 1 Protein Shake. I keep telling myself I can do it and it will be worth it. Even if I don't believe it right now.

Post op Day 6 and it's my BIRTHDAY!! Steadily getting in my liquids. Mild nausea and gas pains but no show stoppers. I'm band to sleeve and can say I feel so much better this time around than when my band was installed in 2011. Taking it one day at a time and staying hopeful!!

I think we should do a group text for those of us going tomorrow so we can all chat together. Cannot believe it is tomorrow! I feel like I have a billion things to do today. So anxious, nervous, and excited.

Hello New Jen, How are you doing now? I was sleeved on the 9th... I'm doing ok! Just adjusting to my new life eating schedule! I'm getting my Proteins & liquids in just fine! I'm not hungry or full. I'm still sore. I am actually looking forward to when I will feel well enough to exercise... Walking of something!

Are you feeling ok, are you reaching your Protein & liquid goals?

      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
