november sleeve



Recommended Posts

[mention=235710]Unclechaz[/mention] Today my stomach feels exactly like I'm having labor pains. I swear it spasms or has contractions when I swallow even a tiny bit too much. Sorry if I repeat myself, I'm taking my pain meds! I see a lot of people say they don't need them but I do for now.
I'm sorry to hear. Feel better.

Brand new here, but I got my sleeve on Nov. 5th. The first few days were pretty rough, mostly with nausea, but things are feeling much better today. My doctor gave me the go ahead for full liquids today, and it surprised me that it took two hours to drink a Premier Protein RTD this morning. Peppermint tea and diluted Powerade have been lifesavers! I feel like I've gotten off easy with the recovery so far, but I know I have a lot of challenges ahead of me. It will be great to be able to follow other sleevers who are around the same stage as I am.
Hi Morrigan. Glad you're feeling better! I added mint extract to my crystal light and it helped my nausea so much! It really helped me to hydrate when I didn't want anything in my stomach. I'm also on liquids.

I just had my sleeve surgery on Nov 7 th but I am having such a hard time with the clear liquid crap . I know things will be different when I can eat some food but I was wondering if anyone else felt this way
I'm finding it so hard to continue the clears too. Variety has definitely saved me but it's hard when I'm cooking REAL FOOD for my family plus every other commercial is for food. I just keep telling myself I've come too far to fail. You can do this! Keep pushing! :)

Hi

I go in on the 13th November in Australia. Been on 2-3 weeks of shakes and lost about 10kg before the op. Nervous but only a few days to go!

I'll tell you, the past two weeks were easier than I thought being on the liquid diet with some low-cal yogurt and one Proti-bar per day. However the last two days of clear liquid have officially sucked. I don't like the clear Protein Drink and I just feel weak and tired. On top of all that, nervous about tomorrow.

Mine is later in the day. 12:15pm, the hospital called on Friday to discuss last minute stuff and I hope it's not further delayed in the day and I'm done and through recovery with enough time to see my family. In the last week I've finally told my sister and my Mother so they want to be there now.

However I am also very encouraged. Both because I can't believe I've plowed through these last two weeks without a single mis-step and because I finally found this community. It's so nice to be here, even though I'm mostly a lurker and haven't posted much.

So, how are the rest of my November 11th brothers and sisters doing?

One week post-op weigh in. Down 14.5 ( at least on my home scale v. Hospital scale). Love this message from the FeelFit app:SmartSelect_20191111-091205_WhatsApp.jpeg

      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. 🤞
