I was made to drink Gabapentin and Tylenol liquids right away. Took them twice and stopped. I just felt like the abs had been exercised. I walked a lot and as soon as I woke up from surgery moved into a chair because I hate laying in hospital beds.

I had gastric sleeve on Monday and I am struggling the last few days. I am feeling regret, like I miss my life before where I could do whatever I wanted. I know this is childish because obviously I sought this out for a reason, but I am finding myself in tears every few hours. I know that many people in the world have far more to worry about than me and me missing my previous life, but this is where I am at. I miss food already. I have already been hungry. Ever since my surgery I have been able to take good sized sips and have gotten my Water and Protein in. Is this crazy to just miss food, and comfort foods at that? If anyone would like to exchange numbers to text for a buddy I would really appreciate it.

Hi Miss! I was having issues like you mentioned and was sad thinking I would live on Jello forever but this week got so much better. I am 3 weeks today. I also had to take antibiotics which made food uncomfortable so there’s that. I am glad you turned the corner. Keep us posted!

This is just my list so your program might be different. For weeks 3-5, I am supposed to have ground turkey with marinara, ground beef with avocado, eggs or egg salad, tuna and tuna salad, sugar free Jello and pudding, string cheese, and hummus. Everything should be the lowest fats possible and as soft as possible.

How are you doing today? Day 2 right?

I obviously asked because I am curious. I am trying to follow my plan but feel best on shakes and broths. I am supposed to be having more foods but everything seems to create acid. I was hoping that someone might have something useful to share because I never experienced heartburn before this.

I was sleeved Monday and wanted to see if anyone would like to be text buddies. I am struggling a bit and think a person who understands would help.

Hi Teres, I am not in Texas but you can message me for support if you want.

I am 12 days in and had those thoughts badly the first few days. I still do occasionally until I remind myself I am free of the albatross food was to me and all I hope to gain. This is by far the hardest, most emotionally trying thing I have ever done. It’s normal to feel this. We are here for you.

I had therapy for years for food addiction and to be honest I think vsg was my best chance at a change. We overeaters are good at rationalizing our addiction to keep it going. That is your addict brain talking. I look at it like this is my one shot to be free of the albatross that food addiction is and can never go back to those foods. I am the type that there is no moderation, so it’s gotta be all or nothing until I am strong enough. You are worth more than a cheeseburger.

I am day 8 and I had those omg what did I do moments but then I realized I HAD to do this. There are things in life we don’t necessarily want, but need all the same. I had/have PCOS and my doctor told me there was pretty much no chance to lose the weight without surgery. I am down 15.5 lbs and already look at food differently.

Hi! I just had sleeve the 11th in Lonetree, Colorado with Dr. Frank Chae. I am 36 years old and the first few days were bad head hunger type stuff. The last two are anxiety ridden. I am prone to anxiety and have been in therapy for 27 months so I anticipated this. It is always different when you are in it though. I lost 11 lbs this week but I am sure it is Water weight. I had to have surgery in another state due to insurance so my support system is very small. I wish I had planned more for that. How about you Super?

I only told my spouse. Mostly because I didn’t want my parents trying to travel to the surgery since it was in a place that has more Covid cases than my town. I told them right after surgery though.
