Who was sleeved in January 2016?



Recommended Posts

After reading everyones encouraging posts and food examples I've branched out what ice been eating. I'm doing good! I noticed red meat gives me heartburn.

Something else I've noticed, and wonder if anyone else- I'm nauseous in the morning and do NOT want to eat. I sip on Water and Protein (because I know I have to) but it takes me a couple hours before i can eat. Anyone else have/had that?

I'm so happy you're doing better!!

I'm the same as you...I don't feel like eating in the morning. But I can manage to have Protein shake for Breakfast with no problems. So I have my Protein powder and mix it with sugar free soy milk to get even more Protein. That's been filling me up till lunch.

Red meat is not a problem but it does seem to not digest well- feels like I have a belly full if rocks. Other than that I am good with all other foods so far except for pickles and vinegar type things which don't seem to sit well with me. Give it time hopefully things will settle down for you and your stomach too. best of luck!

Sleeved January 26th. I'm having a hard time with depression. I'm only down 41 pounds and it's been really hard. I too get sick of the same foods but they're starting to grow on me. I don't care to go out but it's so hard to run errands and have that "hunger" pain. I get stressed out needing to eat certain foods. I only eat foods that need to be refrigerated so that's an extra pain. I workout, follow my diet etc... But 41 pounds... That's it... I too am nauseous all the time. I drink Protein shakes right when I wake up or have a high Protein yogurt to help settle it.

I'm so sorry girl. I'm getting better with it all, some days I'm almost normal but I have rough days where I'm just so depressed. You need to branch out what you're eating, like with the refrigerated stuff, get some things in your diet that you can carry around. I talked to my surgeon about the nausea (because I seriously just couldn't handle it anymore it was awful) and he gave me some meds for it & they worked awesome and I'm off them now. We are far enough out from surgery we should be resuming normal diets. Seems so much easier than it is, I know. But I highly encourage you to branch out what you eat, it'll get you back to normal!

& as far as 41 pounds goes... I was 280 when I started this whole thing and I'm 215 now, I was at a stand still until I started incorporating veggies and more meats & when I started going for walks weight shed off again. A plateau in weight loss is normal around this time. You'll get through it!!!

I had my sleeve on March 8th and I also have a hard time eating in the morning. I just feel generally "yucky" in the a.m.

I got sleeved Jan. 20th and have lost 60 lbs. I had a lot of trouble in the beginning getting sick...spitting up everything I tried to eat when the nutritionist tried advancing my diet. I learned my stomach just wasn't ready and went back to the previous stage of eating for another week or two, then I'd try it again and be fine. Some people just advance slower than others. Just remember the reason WHY you did the surgery. Yes. It's hard it the beginning missing out on things. But the reward and feeling good about yourself again is sooo worth the battle upfront. It doesn't last forever. I'm 3 months in and just starting to expand my diet out...and I'm OK with that... I'm a slow healer. But I'm so glad I'm a sleever!

      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.
