Justing starting my sleeve journey



Recommended Posts

Hi!!! : ) I'm a 47 year old Georgia girl.happily married with one son.I'm going on day 6 of the liquid diet that is a requirement from my surgeon before I receive my sleeve surgery on July 2, 2014 . I have been having headaches & I was wondering if any of y'all have experience this when y'all were doing the liquid diet?

Thanks y'all for the replies!!! I just google & read online that the headaches i'm experiencing could be that I'm not getting enough Water due to being dehydrated could possibly cause headaches..so today I'm going to really focus on getting my 64 oz of water down!!! I swear this liquid diet feels like it's going to be the death of me!!!! Prayers & Good luck to all of y'all from georgiagirl_1967

Hi Georgiagirl, welcome to an incredible journey! Best of luck and remember to take everything in stride! I was sleeved on 4/15 and I am down 70 lbs. what's amazing is the almost instant feeling of increased energy and well being. You'll find yourself wanting to do more and more! I will be thinking of you!! And btw, the surgery itself is nothing! Piece of cake so don't get nervous.

      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.
