Who else got sleeved on the 28th of march?



Recommended Posts

I had mine the 28th.. I am feeling better, I just got off Clear Liquids today so I'm happy to give up broth and jello! however, now that I added Protein shakes, It's been more difficult to get in my Water. my big incision hurts more than the others.also, I've lost about 10 lbs which is very encouraging!

I was sleeved on the 28th and the first 4 days were very rough! Some spasms and nausea. Day 5 I felt like "me" again, it was great. Started pureed stage yesterday and some refried Beans are amazing with some pureed guacamole. It's amazing how full you feel after only a few bites and I do realize that's the point of the surgery, but I never thought I'd feel full prior to surgery. Seems like your morning Vitamins and supplements are a meal in and of themselves, There's a lot of time consumed and planning to get everything in at this stage, but so far so good. I was fairly active prior to surgery walking constantly at work so I think I may have benefitted me well

. I do feel bad for those who are still struggling. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you're well on your way soon.

It will take the body a little to bounce back after a major surgery for sure. Moving builds up stamina and staying hydrated is a must. One day at a time will get us there!

Anybody sleeved the 28th sterile strips starting to look like they will be falling off soon?

Nope, sticking like glue. I'm getting tired of them! I just want to rip them all off. But I wont. Not til I see my md.

I had glue instead of strips and it is coming off. Completely off on a couple of incisions but they are healed so it is okay. Still don't see my surgeon until next Tues and I am supposed to stay on full liquids (not even yogurt) until then. I will be slow glad to be able to add a bit more texture. I really feel like I am already ready but I won't take chances and will wait for the doc's okay. Feeling good overall though and down 25lbs since my first consult so happy about that!

I was sleeved on the 28th and I'm also still on clear/full liquids - my doc said 2 weeks liquids (first clear, then moved to full), 2 weeks mushy food then I can start on real whole food. I have no problem with that because I cant even get my 64 oz down! I found that coconut Water, and V8 vegetable juice are a godsend. One of the only things I can drink without consequence - well those and chicken broth. My plan is to start mushy food next week, things like blended cottage cheese, and blended Soups. I'm excited but nervous because even when I drink too fast, it hurts. My large incision is also a bit irritated but hoping this goes away soon. I was back to work Monday, and almost starting to feel like myself again, just a bit lightheaded at times due to lack of energy/protein, but I will get there in due time. Down 22 pounds as well! Glad most of you are doing well and most importantly happy! I sure am =)

I was sleeved on 28th too! Doc started me on puree yesterday for 3 weeks. It's been easier than I thought other then trying to make sure I have enough Protein in my new pureed foods. My stitches are healing and the glue is coming off. It's getting so much easier to drink larger sips and I so glad. It does take me 20 min to eat my 4oz. What a nice change. Good luck everyone

      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. 🤞
