@@Jenn1818 I too am 9 days post op today. I sleep with my sheet, coverlet, and HEAVY duty Ralph Lauren comforter I had stopped using because it was too hot. Right now I have the dehumidifier running in my office because it warms up the room. I'm Louisiana and have to run the a/c pretty low for our biz. I AM FREEZING right now. :) I have gloves in my drawer and put them on when I walk around the building for my exercise.

How is everyone doing today? I backed off to the week two diet and I've been sick free for the last two days so I guess I'm just not ready for anything more solid. I find that around 2pm every day I am just exhausted...not just tired, but bone weary. I am also having some emotional downs but I think that is normal life, not surgery. I have to stop hopping on the scale repeatedly and worrying about the numbers. I know I've already lost something like 12lbs and that I can't lose a pound a day everyday as well as the fact that I'm moving and not eating enough that I shouldn't lose weight so I just have to stop stressing over it and look at the long term. This isn't easy for me but I can't hurry things!

Does anyone else have trouble with Vitamins? I can't have liquids with food, but if I take them on an empty stomach they can make me very ill so I'm not sure what to do! I bought the Calcium chews from bariatric pal and they're good but it's like $90 a month that way for Calcium alone and I can't sustain that...nevermind the fact that I have to worry about other Vitamins as well! What are you all doing to cope?

If they are tablet Vitamin get a pill crusher and put it in with your Protein drink or in with pudding or what ever else you are can have

Have you tried costco? They have calcium chews cheaper.

I am actually bummed I prepped so much that during Black Friday I bought the calcium chews, while they taste so good (especially during just liquids) I HATE the amount of sugar in them. I had brought that up on here and people are like no big deal, you are not eating the carbs...blah blah. I try at all cost to avoid sugar (not a diabetic), I was in ketosis at neutral on the stick and the day after starting the chews it went back to Moderate on ketostix after being neutral for over 2 weeks. For me that is too much sugar. Each chew is like 2g which may not be a lot but that's 6 g at the end of day or 1 1/2 t. of sugar. That's a lot at the end of the month. Like someone mentioned get real calcium and crush into your food or drinks.

Great idea, @@bill1130 - I'm finding the Iron challenging too though and that's supposed to be taken more on an empty stomach. Maybe I'll crush the Calcium pills and hope that doesn't make me gag and, if it works, spend the money for chewable iron. I know I need my Vitamins and I don't think taking them counts for much if I keep sicking them up:P

Sleeved Jan 12th. Had my follow up with dr, so far so good. Got approved to start purée phase tomorrow. I'm nervous about leaving my liquids only phase, since has been going much better .

Ugh - I lost like 12 lbs the first two weeks and then ONE pound the next week! I wasn't ready for that and it's seriously bumming me out because I'm doing what I'm supposed to do! My doctor had said I could eat Stage 3 diet with some solids but I'm randomly unable to keep things down so I had to pedal back to stage 2. I hate drinking fluids all day and I have gotten my period twice already since my 1/3 surgery. I'm constipated and just needed to vent!

Any other early Jan sleevers running into speed bumps?

      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. 🤞
