Just got sleeve 3 weeks ago



Recommended Posts

I just got the sleeve 3weeks ago my highest weight was 441 when I had my surgery weighed in at 421 after 2 weeks post op I was 390. I have to admit its a little harder than I expected it to be the hardest thing for me is that I'm a big drinker of Water and only being able to take sips drives me nuts I don't get hungry but sometimes I wanna eat what I see other people around me eating but I do have control I just feel at times I'm really tired and don't feel like myself anymore .

You are doing great! One day at a time with the Water...you'll be gulping it down before you know it.

Hang in there. It gets easier and eventually you'll be able to take normal swallows.

As everyone else has stayed, just hang in there, it does get easier.

Just remind yourself when you find yourself wanting something that isn't on your plan that it won't taste very good.

You are doing great!

The unflavored works good for me mixed with a flavor pack like hi-c or lemonade. I try to stay away from adding milk, to keep my calories down. I also do yogurt which gives you about 8-15 grams depending on what kind. sugar free Protein Bars. There's quite a few foods and drinks that'll get you there. You always have the community here to help!☺

It gets easier once you can eat more.

      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.
