Hi group! New to the forum- sleeved one week ago!



Recommended Posts

Not sure if it's appropriate to start a new thread to just introduce myself, but I wasn't really sure where else to do that!

I just had my sleeve surgery last Friday- I'm feeling great for the most part! The first few days were rough, but I've been getting progressively better each day. I can reach my Water intake goal and I've been able to finish two premier Protein shakes (60g pro total) each day for several days.

Excited for this new chapter in life and to be more active with my wife and our two puppies! Since starting the pre-op liquid diet I've lost 30#. Hard to believe it's only really been 3 weeks!

I know there aren't too many active folks on this part of the site, but I'd love to connect and get to know you!

Awesome! How are you doing so far? I mostly just feel tired and my stomach hurts. Not sure if I'm hungry, full, healing, or some other issue causing pain. Still very happy with my decision and looking forward to the changes ahead! How are you feeling?

Im doing ok for the most part.. When i left hospital i was tired and had discomfort as well.. It should get better. I just took it really slow. Im still taking it slow. Lol. Not doing anything too strenuous exercise wise , except for lifting and carrying my 13 mo old twins. food is meh.. Im not enjoying this liquid stage, but I'm following it.

      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.
