Hey my name is Nikki I'm 28 and I'm 4 days post surgery I'm having second thoughts I think maybe I made the wrong decision I'm in a lot more discomfort then I expected I'm having a hard time Intaking I feel really full and I don't want to drink my Protein Shake I know this is something I really wanted to do and I thought I was prepared but now idk is there any advise anyone can give me it would be much appreciated I don't have anyone in my life that has been sleeved so I don't know anywhere else to turn

Thank you

Wow, you are sooo where I was. I was sleeved on Dec 28th. I had a terrible reaction to the Protein Shakes that the RNs insisted I drink first. I learned that I became lactose intolerant after my surgery, which is not uncommon. While I was in the hospital I was visiting the restroom every hour. Lucky for the nurses my physician husband roomed with me the entire time and helped out. When I got home, the first night I had to go to the restroom every 20 mins. Cold and in pain, I could not sleep. Uggghhh! I too thought "I made a terrible mistake. I want to be thinner but I want to feel healthy too". Guess what, the next day I got some lactose free Protein Powder to mix in Lactose free milk, and I started to feel much better. Took time to take the Protein, sipped Water and Snapple constantly. By 7 days out, I felt like a new woman. Slept better, more energy, and once the staples came out, the discomfort diminished considerably. So hang in there! IT WILL GET BETTER. You definitely made the right choice. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Nice and slow is the way to do it. I found this iPhone App by accident. What a happy accident! Being able to read and enter posts really helps. Thanks and God Bless.

I felt exactly like you the first week. I was miserable and full of regret. It definitely gets better. The first week is really hard. You hurt, you are hungry, and its hard to comprehend how sleeved life will be. But after you can start on full liquid and soft foods it all gets better. Just give yourself some time to adjust and recover. Once you feel better and start losing it will be all uphill. Good luck! And feel free to contact me at anytime if I can help.

I saw a friend 2 days ago that saw me 2 days post op still in the hospital. I am 6 weeks post op now. First thing she told me: you look amazing! And then she asked if I still regretted getting sleeved. I guess I went on a whole rant in the hospital about how this was the worst decision of my life, that I would fail, that its not worth it. And I told her: no, I feel almost normal now. I do not regret this :) it was the best thing I've done for myself

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
