Sleeved in November



Recommended Posts

I have ordered an unflavoured Protein pack to add to Soups as I am struggling with the sickly shakes. I cannot stand sweet things at all!

I agree it does seem to get better as it goes along. The first week sure was rough. The second week is improving!

I can understand the soft food stage must be great, to have something other than liquid or runny stuff. Are you worried about the solid food in terms of making the right choices? Or something else?

Hope you're both well :) xx

Hi I'm sorry I missed the new replies since I logged on - I think I turned off all notifications!

I'm doing better in my second week, the "mental" side of it has eased you're absolutely right, I felt like I was battling a huge hunger demon for the first 3 or 4 days. But I noticed that when I started to be able to get in more Water and Protein shakes, and have a little more Soup, I felt better.

It's only week 2 but I'm trying to learn all I can about this so that I can make sure I do the right things, I don't want to make poor choices.

Thanks for the encouragement- how are you all getting on??

Sk101 you are just a bit in front of me - what's your journey like at the moment?

Lulu - thank you, you're right it absolutely helped big time. I don't have any more pain now

Kate - I've seen some of your other posts, how are you doing with being further along? Is there anything you would have done differently post surgery to where you are now?

Xx

The only regret I have, was thinking it was okay to have an odd glass of wine...otherwise I have stuck to everything from day one. I still weigh everything, still add it to myfitnesspal and still chew,chew,chew.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
