Not too good. Just got out of the hospital. Had a very rare blood clot. Have been soooo sick and in so much pain. It was worse then the actual surgery.

So nice reading up on your journeys, everyone! I'm 3.5 weeks post op and go back to the surgeon/nutritionist this week to hopefully get the all clear to go on to Soft Foods. So far I haven't had anything disagree with me, but I'm still learning whether I'm eating enough or NOT enough. It's strange to not feel hungry, I'm trying to decipher what 'full' feels like.

Getting enough liquids in is tough, when you're stopping before/after meals.

Hi josh m! Welcome! I had my sleeve done on October 16 and I’m down 11pounds since surgery, 24 since I started the pre op diet! I’m excited to finally started soft/puréed foods on Tuesday! Best of luck in your journey!

Seconding both of these sentiments!

I can tell a few minutes after I've eaten too much because I feel a little green about the gills, and I make a note to eat about 1/4 ounce less the next time. I just don't have a "full" signal that I can decipher, as yet. I haven't been sick, yet, but have definitely spent some time feeling nauseated.

I'm also having a lot of trouble getting to 64 ounces of liquids with three half-hour meals and the rest of my life happening as well.

I was just telling some friends today: I spent all this time building up good habits about carrying a water bottle everywhere and drinking a lot, pre-op; only now I can't drink room temperature Water. I can barely drink room temperature anything, so I find myself making (mostly decaf) hot tea all day. And of course I lose time every time I refill my cup.

My solution, such as it is, is to buy myself a bigger tea cup. At least I'll lose time a bit less often?

      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.
