Any August 2017 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm 58 and my surgery is monday. I worry about saggy skin but I know a healthier me will be worth it. I can't wait to take control of my body once and for all.

I'm hearing you loud and clear! I'm 54 and finally taking control of my body, my health and my life! The saggy skin does worry me a bit but You can hide most of that with good support garments I guess [emoji12]My surgery was on Tuesday and I am doing great! Sore of course but tolerating liquids with ridiculous ease!! I'm averaging 1.5 litres per day and No reflux... yay

I'm scheduled for Aug 16th, which is Tuesday so I'm almost there!

The liquid diet isn't too bad but still have the urge to crunch something!

Mostly missing salads.

Last night, was my second night with my new C-PAP machine and I could only stand it for two hours with the bloody mask on. God, I hope this surgery helps abate my obstructive sleep apnea.

Oh, honey! Last night was my third night . . . so far, I've managed 3.7, 3.9, and 3.9 hours. The first night I knew I didn't have the straps on right and I looked at all three of the booklets I was given--nope, nothing about the straps. (Figured it out by looking online.)

I'm counting on the surgery (mine's the 28th) helping with this. Who dreamed up this torture?

Does anyone know if propel Water is ok to drink 3-4 days post sleeve?

Check the label, but when I googled it, it said 6.9 grams of carbs and 0 grams of Protein, so I'm guessing it's not the best choice. I'd suggest either Water by itself, water with Crystal Light for flavor with no calories, or protein water--there are quite a few different kinds.

I was told to hydrate for the first week, and allowed propel, g2, Vitamin Water zero, or crystal light additive for water to help me get at least 64 oz. in everyday. You don't want to get dehydrated, and hydration is more important than Protein for the first week as lack of protein for 1 week will not land you in the emergency room. I hope this helps.

My nut and surgeon told me for the first week I can have some regular Gatorade as the bacteria in my gut will need some carbs to feed on to remain healthy as other food would be limited. But only the first week. I guess it all depends on your surgeon and nutritionist.

      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. 🤞
