MAY 2019 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

mine was on may 1st and i am figuring it out as well. i'm not permitted to have shakes until one week after so i'm just on Clear Liquids. i sip Water constantly but do notice that the broth sits heavier. I can drink about one cup of broth and then feel satisfied (physically, not mentally). I'm sure everyone is different but i can't imaging being able to drink more than 8 oz of broth of Protein Shake before feeling full. But, I'm no expert!

Thanks for your response....

Did you have a hiatal hernia repair as well.

May 1 here. Surgery went well didn’t stay in the hospital long don’t pack much. You will shower at home and wear their hospital stuff. Maybe pack phone charger and phone

I’m home now and walking. Had first bowel movement yesterday what a relief I’m not constipated. I found boost max 30 G Protein in strawberry. Omg heaven

everything is room temp. The Protein Shakes and Water. Can’t sip too fast. My new tummy don’t like that. But I look at my garden and pick and play. Bending is hard and hurts but that’s the only pain make sure before surgery you tell your pharmacist to have your current meds liquid. It will save a lot of yucky taste

be well your going to be great!!

I know how you feel because I was like that last week. I had my surgery Friday. I can tell you there is no reason to stress but you are human and it is a big thing. If it makes you feel better, I worried too ALOT but everything went fine and all is well here. You go in and they give you a sedative. Then you wake up in the recovery room. The recovery room is hard but you don’t really remember it much. Then you won’t be able to get up on your own the first day. Don’t be afraid to call the nurse often. You will need the bathroom often and should walk around the room each time. The next day you can likely walk in the hall. I am going back to work tomorrow. Hopefully it will go well if I take it easy. Good luck to you.

A sedative, aye? I hope it’s enough for my big ass. You’ve only taken 4 days off from work?

      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.
