I don't think I've had 1 day where I've gotten in enough liquids. It's really hard. But I have had several days where I've gotten plenty of Protein.

I walk almost every day, but still pretty low energy 3-weeks post op.

And if it's ok, I'd like to be an honorary member of this sleeve buddy club since I don't have one.

Of course you can. Give us an update on your sleeve journey.

My lap-band to gastric sleeve revision surgery was on November 20th. I had to do a 2-week pre-op diet consisting of mostly Protein liquids along with a salad each day. Everything went great with surgery besides having a seizure at the hospital!!!

I had constant nausea the entire first week after surgery, but it's better now. I also try to walk every day even though I still don't have very much energy.

My biggest craves, believe it or not, are apples, bananas, tuna, and pizza. 3 out of 4 ain't bad I guess. Lol.

I am now 3 weeks post op and have lost 30 pounds. It's a decent start, but I still have a long way to go.

Good luck to everyone!!!

I'm on day 5. I am able to get all my liquids and Protein in so far. I have not experienced nausea just stomach spasms. I did call the doctor's office about this because its painful. I was told it was perfectly normal and its caused by the hernia repair. She said once the swelling goes down the spasms should subside. I really hope this is the case, even though I'm getting my liquids in, it freaking painful. I just had hubby take my ON-Q out so now I have something else to obsess about - when the meds wear off what will my level of pain be? Yep, I'm completely nuts. I'm do beginner exercises daily, trying not to push myself too hard, no setbacks!!

Glad to hear everyone is doing well!

I seem to be doing worse. I did so good the first few days and now that I am 9 days post op I am in pain and nauseous. Not sure why this is happening.

would be good to speak with a doctor.

drink lots of fluids, walk as often as you can but dont pressure yourself and stop if you have pain. try to breath deeply.

I haven't been getting enough fluids. I am trying though. I am walking and getting my Protein in. I think it is possible that while in Mexico my husband got sick the same day as my surgery and I was running on adrenaline. Now I am back to resting my body is letting me feel what all it has been through.

So how is everyone this week???

I'm doing pretty good. I will be 4 weeks post-op on Friday and have lost about 34 pounds since the start of my pre-op diet. Close to 6 lbs a week so far.

I'm still struggling to get enough liquids, Protein, and calories. I'm hovering around 450 calories per day.

      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
