I had my sleeve done Wednesday and had several complications and even cried today because of them and the fact I can't meet my Fluid intake goals. The first 24hrs I was only able to 5-6oz, then Friday and Saturday only about 8 now Sunday I forced myself to get 30oz, which should be 48oz by now. I got so depressed and then one of the incisions hurt so bad, I began to regret it. But I pray it only gets better and easier with time.

@esmi2015 mine was 3 months ago. The worst for me was pretty op diet. It was really hard to do the 2 week liquid diet. SURGERY was not bad a r all. I can't eat alot but it's a new way of eating. Just eat slow and you get filled. Hw250 Sw239 Cw 187

I bet it was rough after not ever having a limit on what we eat and I include myself because i know I'm gonna struggle when the time comes. Is that your #?

My surgery was 11/3/15. I finally cried last night over not being able to binge on junk food like my hubby was haha! I don't even like the Cookies he was eating! I realized how silly I was being, reminded myself that I've lost 20lbs and remembered where binge eating junk food has got me. Other than that this whole 2 weeks has been very smooth sailing for me. I haven't had any regret. Surgery was textbook, pain was minimal, I easily met Fluid and Protein goals by day 2, I was only sick the 1st day in the hospital. It has all been a breeze for me (so far). Everyone is different, your experience will be too ☺ Best of luck!

I will be honest. I had my sleeve done June 20, 2015. The first month, especially the first week after surgery, I thought to Myself, WHAT DID I DO!?!? This is HORRIBLE!!! I'm starving!!! Total regret! But after that month, when you can start eating again, I started feeling better and better. Down 51lbs since surgery and I have ZERO regrets. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

      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
