Two days post op. Still on 2 oz.



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Tuesday June 24th. Thought I'd be discharged today but I've got to drink 3oz to be discharged. Never thought it would be this hard. Warmer (beverages) are better. Looking forward to my new journey and staying positive!!

My sleeve was June 24th. I hope u get home soon! I was surprised how easy it was to just sip liquids, I agree warm liquids are easier. I have pain only if I move around and take too big of a gulp of liquid. Still on pain med but hopefully I will be off of them by this weekend. Good luck to you and hope u get to feeling better soon.

I was sleeved Tuesday also. So weird only being able to eat a few bites of mellow and having to stop. Came home today and have already taken 2 naps. The pain management is better in the hospital but feels good to go home to my own bed. Take care

You'll be able to sip down 3 oz in no time :) At the beginning though, it totally feels impossible. Congrats and good luck!

- I was sleeved Monday (the 23rd)

Hard to get a lot of liquids in. Takes me all day to drink just one Protein Drink.

Question tho! Anyone taking stool softeners in tablet form or just liquid?

I was sleeved on Tuesday the 24th also. I'm having the hardest time trying to drink my water! Also, I'm worried that I'm eating too much. I just ate a Jello cup and about a 1/2 hour later ate a pudding cup. I feel like I shouldn't be eating that much! I also get so many air bubbles every time I swallow something that it kind of hurts. I'm wondering if that's my new stomach's way of telling me that I'm over doing it?

I haven't had pudding or jello yet.. I've only been able to get a little Water down and like one Protein Shake a day. I was sleeved Monday! But everyone's different, and the bubbles are just has and your body trying to get used to everything.

From the get go, I had no problems taking in liquids and had no issues with taking any of my pill meds. What I sometimes have an issue with is figuring out when I'm full. I'm 5 weeks post op today and have been on regulars foods for about 2 weeks. I only eat about as much as a yogurt cup....sometimes a little more and it's those sometimes that if I bend over at the right time, I immediately feel my food, the overage I guess, wanting to come up. I've been fortunate enough not to actually throw anything up yet, but I don't like that feeling at all.

      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. 🤞
