Got sleeved yesterday Sept 5th!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum! Had my sleeve done in Medellin, Colombia yesterday September 5th.

I am not going to lie, I felt like hell yesterday, I kept asking myself why I ever did this to myself. I had horrible throw up fits and was just puking contrast. They kept giving me some nausea medicine and it finally calmed down.

Needless to say my stitches bled a bit, I was really worried that I was going to pop one. But thankfully that didn't happen!

So today, day 2, is a brand new day. I am still in pain and feel like I did 550 abdominals but the back pain and discomfort from the CO2 has passed for the most part.

I am now in my hotel room as I got let out at noon. Car ride was no fun;( but made it and I am relaxing and trying to get my Protein and liquids in.

Yesterday whenever I drank something my stomach and esophagus would cramp up, today the pain has been a lot less.

How do you manage to get all the solids in!? I have two sips and feel full and uncomfortable.

My large stitch is hurting! Okay so today is a brand new day! Hopefully tomorrow will be better!!

Thanks for hearing me out!

Congrats on getting the surgery done. Just take it slow because you are still healing. Don't worry about getting enough Protein in the first week. Just focus on getting enough liquid. It will get better. I literally felt like death until day 5. Hang in there and take it easy.

Thursday 3 days post op went in to see the nutritionist for further consult. Already lost 5.6lbs I am in schock! So she asked me to move into phase 2 on her plan which is fluids but includes vegetable cream Soup with lactose fat free milk! Felt delicious going down! Made a squash cream Soup with a bullion cube some milk and boiled squash. Loved it! However it is now 3 hours later and I am feleling a bit weird feels like if I am going to be sick to my stomach, is this normal bc I introduced milk? Or is it maybe a bm? Haven't had one since the surgery... Appreciate all the help I can get! Haven't been sick yet it's just the feeling!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
