4 days post op and I'm worried



Recommended Posts

Maybe this sounds insane, but I'm worried because I'm having too easy of a time. I'm meeting my Protein and Water goals with no struggle. Im getting my pills down i can drink all of my shakes. Am i going to over eat because of this? Im drinking 8oz shakes but my "meals" aka yogurt and Soup are both 4oz because I'm scared to go above. Everyone i know has struggled and I'm happy I'm not but it makes me feel abnormal, like I'm doing something wrong or something is wrong or maybe my sleeve is too big. opinions? similar experiences

I had much the same and on purely liquid stage i did not have to limit my Protein Shake sizes. Though it could take a while to drink it al. They counted toward my daily liquid needs as well.

I'm 18 days post op and have been able to drink my shakes within 10 minutes since a week or so out. I'm glad in not struggling, but it makes me wonder... I totally get where you are coming from.

I haven't had any problems either. I'm just a week ahead of you, and was easily able to meet my liquid and Protein goals without a hitch. I was and am, also scared like you. Fortunately, there were some vets that read my post and said that it's normal. I just tried to remind myself of that - I'm normal ;-).

I was on 2oz of Premier Protein shake every hour on the hour. The other 45 mins I was on puréed Soups, chicken broth, decafe tea or coffee, non fat milk, Water, juice diluted with water. It was 2 oz every 15 mins during the hour and it kept me satisfied. Good luck and the weight will come off. One month out and just hit a stall

I was told that our Protein Shakes were not to be part of our daily Fluid intake.

I'm day 10 and have been having no issues either. Like you I was wondering if there's something wrong if that it's too easy. Did they cut enough off, etc. My nurse reassured me, so now I'm grateful it's been smooth so far, though I know it may not always be.

I love not being hungry and I love getting full fast.

      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. 🤞
