I was sleeved on thurs the 19th so I'm 4 days post op. Trying to get down the liquids and get in my Protein Drinks which has not been easy...two sips and I'm so stuffed, it hurts. Today has been the day with the most pain...thinking maybe I over-did it at the weekend. I'm sore and tired, but thankfully the gas is subsiding...

I haven't started Vitamins yet but I ordered Wellesse liquid vitamins from Amazon. I tried them before surgery and they were not bad. The price was much more affordable than others.

Congrats to everyone for taking this big step! Best of luck to you all!

Txgirl for the gas take a towel, wind up tight to make it hard and press it against your stomach. Try burping it out. &&&& walk, walk, walk. Good luck!

Thank you, I will try before bed time

My doc ok'd my remedy for moving my digestive system along. It worked before surgery. I am a holitic nut so she said go ahead. You rub Castrol oil in your tummy place a plastic bag or Sara wrap over tummy and place s heating pad. It moved gas out etc. Castrol oil works if you swallow also but way too yucky at this stage of healing. I promised it works. My colonic theraphist says it's been used for hundreds of years. My mom gave me as a child also.

I can only get in 1 Protein Shake at 5 days post op and then I'm full for like 2-3 hrs and don't want to drink. It's exhausting! I'm happy I'm at least getting 1 in. I use Isopure chocolate with a tsp of PB2. It's a lot getting maybe 40 of Fluid in and it's rouggggh!!! I'm on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks and I can't wait to start puréed food. Lol it's been a struggle post op a lot of nausea and vomitting. Just sticking to 1 day at a time!

Good luck fellow sleevers!

      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. 🤞
