Recommended Posts

No pain, just SUPER grossed out by all the drinking. I feel very hungry, nothing satisfies. Little regret today, I'm sure out will pass

I'm scared of this feeling, too. But... knowing that there is light at the end of the crappy beginning tunnel keeps me going to getting the surgery. Each day you will get better and better. Remember, your stomache is in a state of shock right now. Keep at it!!! It's ok to have the feelings of regret, but once you are recovered in a few weeks you will LOVE your sleeve!! AND THE NEW YOU!!!!

It is hard to drink all the Protein stuff. I'm about 2.5 weeks out, and it got better again for me. I was sooooo over the shakes when i was around where you are and for several days on and off, but it's been getting better for me lately because it's now just what I have to do, so I don't think about it as much. I also got to start purees so I had a quarter cup of greek yogurt w/ Protein powder friday, and refried Beans yesterday and today along with the Protein Shakes. I don't see myself being able to get my Protein in without them for quite some time, so they are just going to be part of life for a while for me. I hope tomorrow is a better day!

I'm 3 days in and feel sick, headache, and very hungry. shakes 2xs a day, veggies and some fruit only. I'm thinking there has to be a better way. Surgery is 1/5. Now I'm not sure.

Hang in there! The head hunger is one of the toughest stages but once you get to the purée stage you will start to feel better. Take it slow and remember this is a life long journey that you will be so happy you are a part of.

      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.
