I am late to check in on this thread but I too was sleeved on April 20. I am on full liquids and have been able to reach my Protein goals since Day 2. I am not yet getting 64 oz of Water but am still getting most of my fluids from Protein Shakes and Soup.< /p>

Surgery went well and after 2 weeks I can't say it hurts. However I find it so hard to get my Proteins and my water! With 5 small meals and no drinking before and after eating, how can you drink 64 oz of Water?

I was sleeved on 4/20 also. Went back to work today and definitely found it difficult to get as much Protein and Water in as I should have. :( On the bright side - next week I get to start on soft solids and veggies... I can't wait!!!

I am doing really good actually! I go for my follow up appointment tomorrow! I am tired of liquid diet so hoping I can do the purée to add some more options! As of Sunday I have lost 11 pounds! Was afraid to weigh myself at first because of all the stuff you go through and not wanting to be disappointed but that weightloss gave me the motivation to keep doing things right! How are you doing? Thanks for asking!

I went to the doctor. She told me I have to get more liquid in. I have lost 20 lbs since surgery!!! (My boobs are gone ????) I felt pretty good today! Wasn't exhausted or dizzy so I can't wait for the soft food stage so hopefully that will make me feel back to normal. I don't have an appetite but I'm so sick of liquids and I'm not a fan of the pureed stuff.

Where's everyone at?

Hey! I was sleeved april 20th. Almost 3 months out and right at 60 pounds down. I can't believe how it is coming off. I still struggle with Water and Protein. I just can't seem to drink enough. Exercising a few times a week. What about you? How are things going your way?

I am looking forward to my follow-up appointment this month. I know I am down over 100 pounds from my highest weight but am holding off on weighing until I get to the doctor.

I have been doing well with Protein and even survived some holiday family meals pretty well. The fluids are a challenge but I am working hard on getting enough. I could do better.

I am regaining my mobility and have been able to swim quite a bit when the weather cooperates. I hope to be able to drive myself for my follow-up appointment but won't know if I can until closer to time.

I'm down 55 from pre op, 48 from surgery. I had a hard time at the beginning with the Protein and had a few stalls, but now I'm getting everything in and the weight loss is starting again. Plus I can tell I have lost some inches. I have a follow up Monday.

      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.
