Hey everyone!! I'm yani and I'm 25 with 2 kids and I had my we've done June 5 2015. S.w was 268 and c.w. is 228. At first the sleeve diet was a bit challenging and I didn't like walking alot but after a while it gets better. I use my kids as weights lol which they seem to love me picking them up and being active with them. Just got to stay active , get your protien in, Vitamins, and Water, and eat healthy . It's a new and long journey and only positive things now should happen !!! Any questions about anything I'll be the gal to ask :)

Wow. 40 lbs in one month?! AMAZING! We are the same age too. :) I'm 2 months away from surgery and we are around the same starting weight (I'm currently 10 lbs heavier than you). How was your first month on liquids? Difficult? Any tips?

the first month is a bit tricky and hard ... your mind starts to play games with you. Just have to really commit and focus. Do not try to eat anything !! It will hurt and make you sick !! Set an alarm on your phone to remind you to drink because once you have the sleeve your body tends to make you feel like your not thirsty or hungry. Try to mix up your protien shakes and liquids around so you don't get bored of having the same kind all the time. The first two weeks for me was fustrating because my mind wanted to eat something but you just got to fight it. And remember to walk walk walk ... them gases from surgery are still in the body so walking helps.

        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
