Hi all i would love to be buddies with anyone going through this. Im 5'3 196lbs goal weight 145lbs. I have high blood pressure and recently diagnosed with diabetes. I haven't started my medication for diabetes yet cause I'm going to be sleeved. I have received my surgery date yet but my Dr asked me to start my pre op liquid diet. I was gonna start it today but gave in this evening . So hopeful I start it tomorrow. It's for 10 days ughhh..

Don't beat yourself up --- we are where we are because we struggle with this. You can't just expect because "you're supposed to go liquid for 10 days" that you can just do it immediately. Just pick yourself up and each day do something slightly better than you did it the day before. We can't compare ourselves to perfection. That gets us into trouble every time! Hang in there and keep us posted on how you're doing!! You got this!

I had my sleeve same date! How are you doing? I'm having trouble getting my liquids in. I think it will get easier though.

Doing pretty good - all the nausea and pain are behind me. Now just fighting being weak. Hopefully that will pass before I return to work Tuesday. I stepped on the scale this morning and was stunned to see that I am down 18 pounds from my starting weight! I almost fell off the scale. I'm usually the one who doesn't lose the weight.

Hi All, it will be two weeks tomorrow since we were sleeved on 8/31! I'm doing great and see my doctor today. My scale says I'm down 22 pounds since 8/31, and I lost 32 pounds prior to surgery. I'm having some pain under my left ribs and I'm getting pretty fatigued by the afternoon, but overall, I'm doing well!

Was doing ok until I decided I could probably handle some watered down grits. Someone came and started talking to me and I got distracted and was eating like an unsleeved person (lol) .... Looked down and realized I had eaten over 1/2 the bowl. Within minutes I knew exactly what people have been talking about when they say they got the foamies ..... Mouth started filling up with Water, my chest was getting super tight, I had pain between my shoulder blades and before I knew it ... Bye, bye grits. That was crazy! And something I don't ever want to do again!

The rest of the day was back to liquids! My poor body needed a break.

Haha yeah I know the feeling. I had the balloon before I did the sleeve so my tummy is used to such things, hence I don't get foamies at all now. I do feel ill if I eat something with milk or too much sugar or too fast and I need to lay down and moan for a little while

Hi all I finally received my sleeve date September 26. I had to get off my liquid diet because I was losing to much weight before surgery. Dr didn't want my BMI to go lower because then the surgery would be can. But will start it back up the 22.

Much better than earlier today - I was the one that posted above about my first experience with getting the foamies. Was a rough morning! Lots of great things learned today tho!

      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. 🤞
