I wish I could have meat. I had surgery the 12th and I am just starting to be allowed to eat full liquids like cream of chicken Soup stained. Have that until September 4 th and than 1 week pureed food. Than get to slowly introduce food.

I was sleeved on 8/18/2014!!! It was a surreal experience! I never thought that having ANY surgery would be this crazy!! Not even labor was as intense as this surgery!!! my hospital stay was great. I had a great team of staff taking care of me!! but now I cannot seem to get my liquids down!!! it takes me about 3 hours to finish 1 16 oz Water bottle! And the Protein Shakes? Forget it!! I cant deal with them!!

I'm on liquids this week and I am able to get all my liquids in. In fact I was a little worried because I can get 7 oz in in one sitting. It may be different with Protein Shake but the liquids go down just fine. I do have a little cramping still here and there but nothing I can't handle. Thank god I've had a great recovery so far. That is other then the headache the other day. I'm walking about a quarter of a mile or so. Tomorrow I hope to walk a half of a mile. I haven't been tired yet but I guess I better get prepared for that. Thanking god everyday!

      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.
