I am curious to know how you're feeling, your surgery date, and progress so far. I will go first...

Sleeved November 8, 2016. Starting weight 283, current weight 249.4. I felt SO good the first couple of weeks but now week three I have ZERO energy! Hoping this is normal and will change soon.

Congrats! My surgery was Nov 25th. I feel great, no pain anywhere. Almost like I didn't have surgery until I drink Water or a shake. I can finally sleep on my side and can take in most of my required fluids.

My surgery was on the 22nd. I'm exhausted. I spent yesterday in the hospital getting IV fluids because I clearly needed more than the 64oz recommended.

My drain is out and I can now lay on my side if I hold a pillow to my stomach. There's no real pain, just some muscle soreness.

I am so swollen though.

I am day 3! Not too bad, had more muscle pain around the incisions and pain when swallowing my little sips. Haven't gotten much else in other than a few oz of Protein Shake and a jello! No desire to eat. Plus, lots of acid reflux. I feel like it is getting better each day.

Some people get a drain in their incision. I didn't have one but I was also outpatient.

I am still pretty nervous eating. My doctor said I can eat eggs, that is pretty much what I stick to. I have made the ricotta name that everyone has been talking about and that went down ok.

My sleeve was on 23rd, lost 14 pounds after surgery and stopesd now, is it normal? And what drain you all talking about?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would say yes. It all just depends on your starting weight and what you are consuming. Also, don't weigh yourself daily. It can be so discouraging. Some days you won't lose anything, the next day you might lose 2 pounds. Keep your head up and keep going, you're doing great! :)

      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.
