Had My Surgery Tuesday August 25th



Recommended Posts

Y

I had surgery the 19 and have not had one issue with my recovery. I lost quite a bit of weight during my 8 months insurance preop but have not lost a huge amount since and it seems disappointing. I eat so little that I was hoping it to come off as fast as I could put it on in the past.

Have others had these issues? Weight loss before and slow loss after?

Just had 1 week check up and they were so happy I had no issues at all.

yea I was sleeved 8/27 only lost 15 since and now I'm stuck.

25th here. I think just concentrating on healing the pouch...fluids. ..70 grams Protein. ..walking tons is my new intention. The weight will come off guys. ..I made a few little bad bites cause I am so Fricking hungry since 5 days post op and literally fell on floor puking. It takes 3 months to heal the staples from surgery..6 month's for some. Its hard to get 70 grams of protein in.....hate Soup now. Lol

I was on the 25th. I was on a stall for 7 days. During that stall I lost inches!! I've gone down 2 inches in my waist and one clothes size! The scale is moving in tenths now. I can advance to soft foods in 2 more days and am going to travel to visit my mom for a week. It's about 800 miles by car. Surgeon said I have to get out and walk every hour. I am so greatful that I've had a smooth recovery. Loving this sleeved life! Glad to hear most are doing well and progressing along!!

      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. 🤞
