I felt the exact same way. I actually thought I was waiting for my death; like I was choosing to kill myself by doing this surgery. I had my surgery on August 17th. I just forced myself because I knew I had to because I hated myself. Once in the hospital, I felt so safe and calm. I kept telling my doctors I was scared, and they helped me. You will be fine!! This surgery is performed all the time! You’ll do great!!!

I am a 25 year old, 6th grade teacher. I love hanging with my boyfriend and watching tv. I used to love to eat; now I cannot eat. Hope to embrace and instill this healthy lifestyle! I truly want it, but I truly miss my old ways of eating.

I feel the same way. I was sleeved on August 17th. I miss food very much. I miss McDonald's and pizza and sweets and Snacks and chips and Pasta. I miss it all!!! Sometimes I wonder why I did this. It does suck. But I lost 20lb since the surgery. It’s been 3.5 weeks. I just keep going. The problem is that I want these foods, but I know my belly will not like it! Just eating turkey, my belly is gurgling and it feels heavy in my belly. At least I can drink my milk! I love milk 😍 it’s like my dessert

I have my surgery tomorrow at 2. I have to be there at 12:30PM. Ugh, I wish I had to be there at 6AM! So lame

Hi everyone!!! I am doing completely fine right now. Just trying to get some rest. I am very thirsty right now. After the operation, I was on a lot of discomfort with gas pains and nausea. I threw up flemmy blood. Luckily they gave me something for my nausea that knocked me out. I felt like I was able to walk right after my sleep. I did end up walking 1/4 of a mile in the unit!!! I was scared, but once I was in the hospital, everyone was so kind that you kind of forget about it Bc I asked how many sleeves they have done today. Thanks for all the prays my friends. I truly needed it. FYI, it is a very long process. I was in the pre op stage waiting in my bed at 12:50pm, then I finally got my room at 9:30pm!!!!! My poor parents. Any questions, please just let me know ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Soon!!!! So scared will keep you all posted

Yes!!! I had surgery yesterday (8/17/18) Thank goodness I am not alone. My diarrhea is so bad I’m peeing out of my butt. I hope I feel better because I can’t pass gas or else I will poop my pants 😭😭😭😭

My surgery is today! I am currently freaking out. Anyways, if you know how to make beef Soup, you can just drink the broth! I bet that is so much more delicious than the canned stuff. I love making broth Soups like chicken and beef, but I was just too lazy!

Looking fabulous! Keep up the great work! I hope I am successful like yourself!

I was the same way! I could've done anything for some cucumbers or carrots or peppers. I was only allowed 3 Protein Shakes, ice pops, 2 cups chicken broth, jell-o, and one yogurt!! I really did enjoy my broth

I am so glad you also have food cravings still!! I think we just miss any form of solid food lololol I really just want a saltine right now or some white rice with soy sauce. It's strange.... btw just letting you know, the clear Protein really makes me very gassy! I hate it ugh... I prefer my Water and G2

I am so glad that everything went well! I felt the exact same way! I was not in a lot of pain, I walked around the hospital unit, and I slept a lot. You might have a bit more pain at home because the nurses are not always providing you with medicine; however, it truly is not so terrible. I hope you do not suffer diarrhea like I did. I got it right after the x-ray drink and putting liquids in my belly. It's terrible. I really want to use depends lol. I cannot wait to start solids! Good luck fellow sleever!

I am so excited for you!! Good luck! I just had my surgery on Friday, and I am feeling pretty good. After surgery I had very little pain and was walking around. I did throw up in the post-op covery room, but they gave me medicine. Let us know how it went!!

Soon!!!! So scared will keep you all posted

They told me it was from the tube that was down my throat. I also asked my step mom, who is an OBGYN, and she said it was very normal. Don’t worry, I made sure to ask everyone Bc I was so scared of heaving blood!!!

No reason to feel that way! You are doing amazing, and just keep remembering that. Personally, I got so heavy because I love food so much. Food made me extremely happy, but it was only when I was eating. Then, when I woke up in the morning, I felt disgusting and hated myself. I hated always thinking about food and how happy it made me. I am scared I am going to go back to my old ways, but I hope I can fight through and this sleeve will keep reminding me to stick with it. Good luck!

Hi! I just got my sleeve yesterday. I was terrified!! Utterly terrified. I thought I was going to die on the table. Once you are in the pre-operating room, the doctors make you feel so good. When I was ready to go into the operating room, 4 people were wheeling me out!! I felt so safe because they were joking around and it made me feel getter. Just trust your room! You just had to force yourself to go. I am in very little pain right now. If you have any questions, please let me know!!

If you cannot incorporate another Protein Shake, why don't you try something whole grained? It will definitely go down a little better, and you are increasing your calorie intake. For example, you can have two slices of Ezekiel bread with natural Peanut Butter. That is about 255 calories of whole grains and healthy fats that will fill you up and provide you with more calories
