19 and getting the Gastric Sleeve in just 2 weeks!

[Kaitlynn95 1]

So i am getting my surgery in exactly 2 weeks. i am nervous and excited at the thought, i know this will be a life changing journey filled with ups and downs. As i have been getting closer to the big day ve done more research on the surgery and watched you tube videos on other people's journeys but most of the peoplei have found are in their 30's and 40's; so not very relateable. I would like to hear from people around my age who have gotten the gastric sleeve or are getting soon.

There are age-specific groups on this site- go into th Sleeve forums & scroll all the way down. I think "20's" might be the youngest group.

Telling you guys right now first week well feel horrible, you will feel dehydrated. but have to keep on sipping on Water. well as for me it did. but after my first week i started feeling much better.

well im 18 and had my sleeve about a month ago, first 3 weeks where not that hard only liquids, then pure, i lost alot of weight those 3 weeks now im eating solids, as a teen is a hard process none of my friends or family had these surgery so only i now whats happening you may feel depressed or sad nowing that you will eat less than a normal person, but i would tell you is not that bad i had try most foods and had no problem but defenetely cant eat alot, only if eat slow i can eat more but i only eat what my diet indicates, you need to learn to eat correct so when you get to goal you stay fit, this is only a tool. Im happy to now there are other teens around here. Also Water may hurt the first month but now i have no problems. Good luck with your new lifestyle only you will determine the success of your surgery.
