December 2018 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Update:Surgery 12/4. The night in the hospital was a little rough, I was nauseated with the dry heaves. They drug you up and then wake you up every hour. The worse pain is in my neck and back from laying on my back to sleep and falling asleep in the chair a lot. Tuesday, I can have “full liquids” and I think I am ready... Cream Soups, thin oatmeal, grits, pudding, and almond milk sound great!!! I do not like sweet tasting items at this point. I am drinking chocolate Orgain Protein Shakes, wonton Soup broth, and crunching tropical popsicles and crushed ice. The staples are sore and itchy but not a big deal. Just don’t forget and sit straight up in the middle of the night...ouch!! 😩 The weight is falling off so far. I get my staples out Friday!!! So far not that bad!!! 👍👍👍

My surgery was 12/6. So far not to bad. Pain is tolerable haven't taken any pain medicine... the first 2 days were clear liquid only. I am now on full liquid for the next 12 days. This started today tried some greek yogurt and a slim fast it was okay. Will try again tomorrow. I can see this is going to be a long 2 weeks. Already want to be on pureed.

Kjuno: I asked my Dr about the danger of throwing up due to so many ppl saying they feel naseaus. My Dr said dry heaves won't hurt. She also said throwing up is not the end of the world if we dont have much in our stomach. However if I throw up in the hospital, she will do an upper gi to make sure it didn't cause a leak. I'm gonna stay on top of the nausea meds the first few days, cuz the anesthesia leaving my body makes me nauseas

I live 3 hours from where I'm getting my surgery. I have a pre surgery appt tomorrow afternoon then surgery on Tuesday. So we are leaving tomorrow morning and staying in a hotel then surgery! I can't believe its here! I'm super excited..right now anyways. I go back and forth between nervous and excited. I've stuck to the clear liquid diet religiously, so surely I can do this!!

Having a weird experience the last day or so, pretty much everything is tasting sickly sweet to me. I was drinking Protein Shakes pre-op that I liked and now i'm struggling to drink them as I find them wicked sweet. This must be the change in taste buds some people talk about..

In other news 3 days left of liquids then onto soft diet and im definitely going to make that ricotta bake that some people made on this forum, i can't wait to taste some cheese ha (hopefully it agrees with me) Has anyone any other suggestions for their first food they are gonna make when they are allowed soft/pureed food??

This will be my first post but I know not my last, I appreciate this site and my heaviest was beginning of November 2018 and once cleared to speak with the surgeon he put me on a two Protein Shake and 400 calorie dinner regiment and I have been swimming and drinking a Gallon of Water a day (I know that wont be happing for a while). My Date is Dec 18 and VSG just 8 days away and I am currently at 401. Trying my best to stay dialed in this weekend was the toughest as far as discipline and I had a couple cheat meals the Doctor last saw me at 401 and approved the date for the 18th now I'm turning it up a bit this week, Thank you for this opportunity to take this Journey with you all Prayers, and well wishes and advice go along way....... Thank you

That's one of my biggest fears too. I hate throwing up period. The words "dry heave" do not even sound fun, especially not after surgery. :(

Good luck! I've heard that you've got to follow instructions to the T....I hope you do well!

SACtexas they’ve only had u doing prep for a month?

Yes, it seems short right?? So far no issues with insurance and they will pay 90% so we're pushing forward. I feel like I need to cram for an exam. I'm reading, watching videos and trying to psych myself up for this life changing adventure.

      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.

      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.
