Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts



Not to bad. Bit of a rough night. Pain got pretty bad last night. Made me nauseated again. The hit me with double dose of pain meds and anti nausea med. then nurse made me up two ice packs. Those helped a lot. Got up a bit ago and got couple laps down the hall done. Waiting till 8am for Protein Shake. Then doc should be in to let me know if I’m getting out today. Had to have more blood work to see if my count is still off. So all is going as expected. One step at a time in this new journey .




Well I was released from the hospital today. Everything going as it should be I guess. I totally feel like crap right now. I know it will pass but right now I hurt like there is no tomorrow. Oxy not really helping. Can’t lay on my left side because my right side hurts so bad. Burns like crazy. Tried laying on my back with ice packs. Which worked in the hospital because you can adjust the beds. But at home no so much. Gotta rethink sleeping for next few nights. I know I’ll get through it but at this moment it is awful. The problem with the pain like that it makes me so nauseous.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Can you get your hands on some inexpensive extra pillows to imitate an elevating bed? Sorry you are so uncomfortable...:(

Yeah I have 2 extra so I will try to elevate myself. Hopefully it works. I have lymphedema in my left calf. So sleeping on my back is always a challenge. Hospital bed you can adjust the center of the bed as well. So I’m going to try elevating my upper body then put a pillow under the left knee. Fingers crossed that it works.
Lol!! If course belly looks like Pillsbury dough boy right now. Lots of swelling and major indents where the incisions are.

Look at how far you've come, then look at how far you need to go to make goal. Now do you think you could make it all the way there without your surgery? No and I couldn't either that's why I'll be following you before long. I heard there's a spot on the losers bench just your size, I know you'll want to claim it. And after Tuesday it's all yours. Now be a brave little soldier, march forward confidently into the future. And we will all be waiting to hear your story. God Bless

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
