@@cstrickland428, I have had stabbing pain in the middle of my chest too, but only if I eat a bite or two more than I should. Are you on any meds for nausea or acid reflux? I was prescribed meds for both after surgery just in case. I suggest talking to your doctor as soon as possible.

I have had a few days where I broke down in tears and felt like I made a huge mistake. A lot of others on here have talked about that too. For me, those thoughts passed when I reminded myself that every other way to lose weight that I've tried hasn't worked for me.

My surgery was the 20th. I am 5 days out and feeling great. No pain or Nausea. My doc used a drug called Exparel, and it was fabulous. Getting in about 40 oz. of liquids...32 Water, some Isopure mixed w water, otherwise too sweet, bouillon, sf popsicle, etc.

Hi, sleeves 2/11 lost 10 pounds in the first week. Seriously upset though bc the scale hasn't budged in a week. I do have a hard time getting in enough fluids and Protein but I am walking 30 min every day on top of my normal housework. I have zero heartburn or difficulty getting my soft foods in. But for example yesterday was an egg w cheese a babybel cheese and a half a piece of cod but I was so full I couldn't look at anything else. Is my body that stubborn it won't kick the weight off? Aside from not being hungry I'm wondering why I did this! I just feel alone bc all my husband can say is "I don't know you're beautiful anyway" ... While I adore is answer I just wonder if I'm alone out there ... Sorry for the rant just very frustrated this morning

Botwins I am so sorry you are feeling alone and discouraged. I am only 1 week out from surgery so I am afraid I can't help as far as telling you why. I have heard that stall in your weight Loss are normal. I know that doesn't make it any easier though. Sounds like you are doing everything right. Just keep up the good work!! It will come off eventually.

I had mine done on the same day and have noticed the weight slowing down. My mom had the same issue as well after her's. If you are concerned, I would talk with your surgeon. For women, I notice cycles get in the way of weight loss because you retain Water, at least I do. Mine started just a week or so after my surgery, so if your's is coming up, it may just be water weight.

I was sleeved on the 17th so I am 7 days post op. I also had a hiatal hernia repair. I have been having pressure in my chest. It feels like having pill stuck. However everything is going down well and just the pressure...is this normal?

I have a bit of pressure under the sternum at times. I get up and walk around and raise my hands up. That seems to help. I am also faithful w my gas x strips. I am getting over 40 oz of liquids in and was able to tolerate Isopure today...so finally getting more Protein.

I am ready to get out and walk...but N Tx has ice and some snow.

Having a rough day today. All these chewable vitamins are making me sick. I feel like everything I can eat is mostly sweet and then all the Protein waters are sweet. My stomach is upset and I am feeling weak and shaky. I have so much to get done and don't feel like doing any of it. Can anyone relate?

Yes. I incorporated creamed Soups in the full liquid phase to help curb the sweetness. I wasn't used to all the artificial sweeteners.My doctor approved the Gummy Multivitamin for women from Target so that helps. Other Vitamins are so small I can just take them without chewing.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
