I got sleeved on July3rd . So I'm week post opt . Im looking for anyone who basically want to be there for each other with support and questions that normal people (ones who didn't get surgery) wouldn't understand. I feel like I always do my best when I have motivation and a support team there for me . I made a Instagram account strictly for my sleeve stuff because i didn't really tell anyone i was getting it. I hate when people say its the easy way out because there is nothing easy about this. So i kept it to myself . So if anyone wants to be friends feel free to add or message me . Im 23 from ny , Im really nice lol and I talk to like everyone

My instagram name is crystallmarie_vsg

I was sleeved on June 21st, so a few weeks before you. Live in NJ and happy to be sleeve friends (if you want a guy's perspective). You can find me on WhatsApp and FB Messenger. Or private message me here for contact info.

The 'easy way out' huh. Meeting the strict guidelines pre-op wasn't easy. Changing our entire lifestyle and diet wasn't easy. Walking into the operating theatre, seeing the surgical team ready to cut us open, knowing life was about to change permanently and there was no going back, wasn't easy. The pain of recovery and having to learn how to eat again wasn't easy. Dealing with the hormone changes and mental challenges due to changing pretty much everything about the way we live was not easy.

Maybe the next time these people speak up we can ask them when the easy part starts, yeah? Don't ever doubt yourself!

I was sleeved 7/7. I'd love to be friends! I'm in central NJ. I've barely told anyone except my family and 2 friends. It would be nice to have someone else to talk to who's gone through it. Even my family, as wonderful and supportive as they are, can't quite understand. It's just something you don't truly get unless you've gone through it! =)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
