????A shout to the February sleevers ????



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 days post op. I feel much better today. Pain was the worst on day 3. It's been really hard getting Protein and fluids in. I feel like I'm sipping constantly and I still can't meet goals. I've also had diarrhea since I got home from the hospital. I'm a little worried about that. But...I've lost 9 pounds! ????

I'm a February sleever but I had mine February of 2014. You all have the same concerns I had. My surgeon only required I follow the pre-op diet the day before surgery. I'm 5'5" tall and my starting weight was 243. I'm currently 154 and hope to lose another 20 pounds. It's so worth it.

I am so glad to read this because my Dr is only having me do 2 days if sift diet and 2 days of clear liquid. After reading some have to do 3 weeks I was a bit worried.????

I had the sleeve 2.11.15. I'm surprised how ok this liquid diet has been. I'm trying to focus on getting my 64 Oz in which just seems impossible. Sipping is so hard to adjust to, but I pay the price when I take in gulp. 12 lbs down in 7 days, I'm pretty excited! Ready for an exciting future.

I was sleeved one week ago today. It's been harder than I thought it would be. It's impossible to get in the 64oz of fluids. I feel like I will be drowning if I take another sip. I'm down 13 lbs so I'm very happy about my progress. Any recommendations for unflavored Protein Powder that dissolve easily? I'm not having much luck. Everything I've used clumps up. Icky!!!

I feel your pain Sleeve Seeker. I had my surgery This past Monday. I feel like I need to sip every minute of my entire day and I also feel like my stomach is full of water! I did go to GNC and get protein Water already made. They don't taste bad just get old. I have no desire for Jello or broth.

I was sleeved yesterday morning in Tijuana. I'm currently in the recovery room. My initial weight was 226. And when they weighed me yesterday before my sleeve, I weighed in at 210. So pretty much, in the 10 day pre op liquid diet, I lost 16 pounds. I was in a lot of pain yesterday and was constantly gagging. Today, there's been no more gagging and very little pain! I can walked around with ease. My mouth and throat has been super dry since I woke up from the surgery yesterday, but finally, they have me some ice chips. And boy I could never have been so thankful!

Ps: as they were pushing me out of surgery room into my recovery room, I noticed a lady sitting in the lobby of the "obesity goodbye center" today. I was wondering of any of you lovely ladies on here in that lady?? I came to Tijuana by myself so I'm just looking for some company.

Hi thick2thin, mine was on the 18th, my mouth is extremely dry, but the ice chips help.

Where did you have yours?? And yes, ice chips are a huge help! I was just told that I can start having Gatorade and sips of Water starting tomorrow.

      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.
