Recommended Posts

Time sure does fly !! I had my sleeve 4 weeks ago today. I was lucky that my recovery was quick and painless. The hardest part so far, is getting all my fluids & Protein in. I am getting there though. I just don't feel like eating so I do two Protein Shakes per day and a few small 3oz drinkable yogurts. I manage a few bites at lunch anda few bites at dinner (all protein, of course) I have a food and Fluid journal. I also track my BP daily since mam on meds for High BP. I am happy with the amount of weight I have lost and so happy I made this life changing decision. Wishing everyone well !!

Hi Shelly. I was sleeved 8/18 so tomorrow is my one month. Our diets sound very similar! I'm never hungry.

Just wondering if you experience nausea? Around week 3 I started getting random nausea, but two days it was SO BAD that I only had one Protein shake those days.

I'm hoping this doesn't happen while I'm at work! Returning to work on Wednesday.

Hello to all the 8/17 sleevers (and 8/18 :)

I can't believe a month has gone by either! Last year at this time I was unhappy with my weight and wondering what I would be able to do to get to a weight I would be happy with. I was wearing a size 22W, and just miserable. I could never have imagined that in March I would call the bariatric center and start this process and be ONE MONTH out at this time! I'm halfway to my goal...and I'm so thankful.

Everyone seems be doing so well! Keep it up!

      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
