August post op sleevers: Check in



Recommended Posts

I am a little over 3 weeks out. Feeling great overall. Walking at least 1 mile each day. Went on a tough two mile hike on Sunday and felt great. I am eating between 700-800 calories a day and can't wait to start "soft" foods tomorrow!

I have a question I'm 3/12 weeks out and I'm reading people are eating solid food. It's hard for get in the 80 to 100 of Protein. How are you guys doing with the solid food. I just started walk about a mile three days a week. Can someone please help

I don't think they're eating solid food as of yet more like soft food

I was sleeved Aug 11 and feel so great! I am now eating regular food and haven't had any issues. It seems crazy that I had this surgery only 5 weeks ago- definitely a turn around from the 1st week regrets I had!

Hello Hello Hello and Good morning! Can you tell I am feeling great? Well, the Miralax worked and I think I am going to stick with that until I can eat regular foods. I am also going to stick with the Activia too. I would rather have food to help me than some chemicals. I have deleveoped acid reflux and had a few heartburn sessions. That is the only con about my sleeve experience. Never had acid reflux like this and I have to take some chewables for this.

I am glad to see everyone heading in the right direction,DOWN! We are still in the beginning stages and still have a long journey.

Later Loser!

I was sleeved on August 27 and have only managed to lose 15 pounds. Of course I'm happy with 15...it's better than gaining that much. But I keep hearing about all these people losing so much more since their surgery. On the pre op diet, I lost 11 pounds, so I'm down a total of 26. Do you have any tips on what is making your weight loss so dramatic?

That included my preop days....I know everyone is different and we should never measure our loss to another person as there so many different factors....I do alot of walking though....it helps....and most likely it will slow down for me ...your doing great!!!

      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. 🤞
