I started walking on day 3. I was motivated by having insane gas pains. It really helped and during my post op follow up my surgeon said it has really helped with my healing!

GG123, I'm in the same boat. Mine was on the 12th and I've inly lost a few pounds. I feel different in my clothes, but nothing really showing on the scale yet. It's discouraging. Let me know what your doctor says about it if you ask. I've read it's normal because of all the fluids and gas they pump you with, but then I don't know why so many other people are dropping so much weight

May 6 sleeve here and I've lost 11 pounds. I feel like I am a very slow loser even though I'm sticking meticulously to the eating plan. I've noticed 2 days ago that I've been really hungry. I've been able to fight it but am disappointed I am already hungry

Sleeved May 10th

Original w 264

Surgery w 245

Current w 234 but I've been the same now for 3 days. Don't think I'm getting enough Protein. And my surgeon is super strict. I'm on full liquid for 2 weeks, (1st week was clear only) no Jello. At week 4 I can do soft foods. Not hungry but the head hunger struggle is real.

Thank you KirstenLe. I m not even hungry that's why I can't probably tell when I m full. When it comes to solids it will be measured, no doubts in that.

Well I feel really crappy after reading these posts lol. I was sleeved May 11 and have lost only 6 stinking pounds. We have higher Protein goals than most it seems: 80 gm per day and 64 oz Water. I haven't cheated at all guess I should get on the elliptical and try and burn calories,.

      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.
