Hey everyone!!!! I was banded on 5/20/15 and so far I have lost 34 pounds. So far so good. It's still a little hard for me to get in all my Protein but it's getting better each day. Most days I am not hungry but will eat something as it's not good to go all day and not hungry. I haven't had my first fill yet as I had a problem with slimming but it's getting better now. Hopefully I will in October. I am exercising at least 3 times a week but trying to increase so I can make my weight goal. Good luck to all!!!

Anyone have trouble with getting plain ol' Water down? Before surgery I could drink gallons, I swear! Now, I can't get down plain water. I have to flavor it...it's getting slightly better, but it feels like water is just too "heavy" for my sleeve.

I was drinking 2 liters of Water a day before surgery. Now I can't drink 8oz. I've been mostly sticking to iced tea.

I have to force Water down. And drink the flavored. So strange. After 6 weeks I tried plain water but I think I'm just used to the flavored now. Without forcing I am drinking 34 oz and the drs keep saying to more than double that. Have for the last 2 days.

I am 10 weeks out and i was able to do about 3-4 bottles of water a day lately I am lucky if I finish 2 it seems to be getting harder for water

I posted this elsewhere but posting it here. I counted my liquid and chewable vitamins yesterday and the calories came to 120. I was not counting those. Not used to my pill form Vitamins having calories. Maybe they did lol. Just adding this so we all watch for those hidden calories we are not writing down.

      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.
