I just had my sleeve done on April 25th. I'm always worried I'm not doing my post op liquid diet correctly. Not sure what I'm doing or how I'm feeling is normal. This week has been a true testament of how weak I really am when it comes to food. food is always on my mind and I feel sorry for myself even though I don't know if I really want food or not. Hoping it gets easier.

Hey I had mine done on the 26th and I feel the same way! I have a craving to eat but not really hungry. I even dream about food. I feel like such a fattie. I'm getting tired of all the liquids but wouldn't dare try to eat anything as its still pretty sore swallowing.

Does you doctor have you on 2 weeks liquid diet post op? My instructions say not to try puree food until the end of week 3. I've been seeing some people post they ate pureed food in the second week. I don't want to chance it but was just curious if my doctor is being overly cautious.

just remember your goal and don't eat besides if you do you will probably throw up because your new stomach is only ready for liquids right now it will get easier after about 4 or 5 months but at that time you will probably only eat baby food puree baby food is what taste the best, blending yourself never could find the right smoothness then you usually go with the Protein shakes I did that for about 8months I lost 80 lbs very very happy exercise I gave myself the best gift a new life and I will not I mean never go back to being fat heck no I look fantastic and feel fantastic I go to orangetheory and work my butt off too wear the little clothes size 10-12 use to be 18-20 252-172 stand at 5'11 tomorrow morning 5:30am gym best workout early before work good luck don't sweat

      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. 🤞
