I was July 14th too. I thought I would be doing a little better but I'm really sore. I'm just sipping and trying to walk. Soooo sleepy

Me too. The pain was horrible. Are you able to keep things down?

I drink 3 8oz bottles of Water, 3 Popsicles, and about a half cup of chicken broth a day. I know that's not enough but I just keep trying to drink a little more each day. I do get stomach spasms when a drinking so I'm trying to be kind to my baby sleeve. I haven't had to touch the nausea meds yet, but feeling very sore at the main incision site.

I'm a 14th sleever. I'm hanging in there. Each day has gotten better. I still have pain in the main incision site. Overall I feel weak, fatigued. I think it's because the lack or nutrients. Clear Liquids has nothing. I hope I feel better when I start Protein Shakes. I'm walking around the house but don't really have enough energy to go outside.

I have a swollen red spot in my upper arm. I'm thinking maybe a pooling of iv fluids or a pinched nerve from the blood pressure cuff. It hurts as bad as my main incision. Anyone else have this?

I had the sleeve done July 15th, and I'm having 3 Protein shakes daily - 4 oz of skim milk with a scoop of Protein mix. You're doing no protein at all??

I am allowed only clear liquids until my first post op appointment on Thursday. After a week of no calories, I'm starting to feel pretty weak...

      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.
