December 2018 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Posted a while back when I was originally scheduled for surgery in November. However,due to some thyroid issues I had to push it back to December. I've still been on the forum and I'm super happy for all the people who have been sleeved and for those to come! Im posting tonight because my surgery is tomorrow 😳 And I guess I'm feeling a little antsy. It's like I keep on tottering back and forth between "wow you're actually doing this" to "yay you're actually doing this." I'm really proud of how I stuck to the liquid diet for the 2 weeks, I honestly didn't think I had the discipline. Anyway, I'm super appreciative of this forum and I'm def ready to become a healthier me, so here goes!!

So I’ve moved on to smooth consistency food today. It’s amazing how quickly I fill up. The best thing I ate today was 1/4 cup of mashed potato with a scoop of GENEPRO Protein (30 grams) and a tablespoon of salsa.

How’s everyone doing? I’m 4 days post op and starting to come around! Today i got out a bit, so that was good. Struggling with my Protein and liquids!! Nothing tastes great. But I’m feeling a little better each day! No more nausea or dry heaving! Ready to get back to normal though— or my new normal!

Surgery was at 730 this morning! I've slept most of the day. Had some nausea but nothing the meds wouldn't take care of. Been sipping Water and eating ice chips. Pain meds have kept pain under control. Gas pain has been the worse out of the three, but walking and moving around does wonders! Honestly feeling really good and happy! Hope this eases some minds of those who may be nervous! We got this!!

      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
