My stats are 240/5'5". I am post op day 3 and am thrilled that my pain is just about gone. I haven't been hungry yet maybe just a little mental hunger but that passed quickly. I weighed my self today at 230 so I hope the weight keeps falling off.

That's what my stats are too! Well I was 244lbs. But I'm 5'5. My first day and a half were miserable. I didn't know if I was going to make it lol. My pain is very much tolerable now. I was sleeved on Monday the 18th. So I'm only 3 days out. I'm so excited about what this is going to do to my life. I got the hardest part done in my opinion. I have gotten to where I thought I was hungry but the feeling went away quickly. I'm getting to start my Protein Shakes tomorrow but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet. I may stick with the Clear Liquids and clear Protein a few more days. My current weight is 233lbs. I think I'd be less if they hadn't pumped me with so much Fluid. I had to stay an extra day because of the pain I was in and the throwing up. It was horrible! My husband and I want children so that's why I got this done. I have pcos and it has totally wrecked my body. I'll be praying for all of you! Good luck in your journeys.

I have PCOS too. I was sleeved on the 18th as well. My surgery weight was 250. I am still swollen from all the gas. That was my biggest pain. I woke and felt like I couldn't breathe. I have yet to be nauseated, but I keep my nausea cream on me at all times. I started my Premier Protein yesterday because I couldn't drink my Unjury, I just couldn't drink it... BLAH. But the premier is delish. It's not clear but my dietician said I could start it. I go to dr wed for week 1 post op appt

Hi All, I was sleeved on 5/18. Stats: 264/, 5'7.

My doctor put me on clear liquids for two weeks then advance to Protein with puree. The clear liquids are getting boring. Does anyone know of a good clear protein. The ensure one makes me sick. I have no energy. I am living on Miso broth and ice pops, sugar free. Every time I drink I feel a pressure, a need to burp. Then it goes away. I am taking SMALL sips. Very carefully. Does anyone else have this pain in mid chest with need to belch? Clear protein?

Me! My cousin had it a week before me and she says it goes away but I'm dying. I can't even take a fulfilling drink of Water. I've tried to eat refried Beans but it also gave me the need to burp feeling. It doesn't last long but it happens with every drink or bite. I have been eating sugar free Jello.

Good evening, the same is occurring with me also. It happens even with Jello but not so much with warm liquids(broths). I'm 9 days post op, but I also had a hernia repaired. I just transitioned to yogurts and soupy oatmeal. Because of the pain, I've limited those and decided on the broth a little longer. I too am praying it passes. Please keep me posted as to how anyone is/has handled this issue.

I know some people drink the Isopure clear drinks. I like the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates that I was able to get from my surgeon's office. You can also order it online from sites like Bariatricchoice.com.

I had this pain day 2 and 3. Someone recommended raising your hands above your head when you feel this sensation. Its helped me...

        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
