March Sleevers Where are You



Recommended Posts

Had my sleeve the 14th. The worst part was the gas that they put in your stomach to do the surgery. I thought I was having a heart attack. Stayed two days in the hospital. I am on my liquid Protein Drinks 3 times a day and I really can't drink all I'm supposed too. But, today I started to crave some other foods and it really worried me. I guess when I start eating real foods that fill me up, that will go away, I hope. I came home with a drain tube, which is the pits. I get it out the 25th, start pureed foods that day too. Can't wait to get to that point. I've noticed when I drink too fast, I feel like my stomach has a bubble in it for a few seconds, so I've slowed down on that. Will keep everybody posted on my results as I get there.

Hi everyone! This is my first post on here. I feel a little weird. My surgery is March 27th. I'm actually a little scared not for what's to come but the fact that I'm going under. I'm very excited about what the future holds for me and my family. Just wanted to introduce myself. Good luck to future sleevers and congratulations to those who have taken the step to a new life!!! God Bless!!

I was a nervous wreck when I was sleeved (march 13) they injected me with Xanax or something TWICE! haha the first time I didn't feel anything and kept like jiggling my feet and they came back over and did more. I have never had surgery before so I think that's why like literally EVERY thought was going through my head. Not to mention my best friend died in the hospital where I had my surgery due to malpractice. I know ... everyone thought I was absolutely nuts to be having surgery there. But I just had such faith in my doctor and kept thinking positive thoughts and if it was meant to be it will be. But you will be fine, seriously. If I went through with it.. you can too! Just do everything they tell you! I'm sure you're doctor has done this many times! :) good luck!

Good luck !!! My surgery is March 28th I'm so nervous !! I'm only 19 but I'm so ready to start my life !!!

I think 19 is a great age..... I wish I would have done this surgery a long time ago, instead of waiting until 43 years of age ! you will do just fine, don't be nervous......

Started my pre-op liquid diet today, trying to stay motivated because my surgery is on Monday March 25th... we are having freezing rain sunday night into monday morning..... I guess I will have to slip and slide into surgery !!!

The pre opp diet is the hardest part of this whole thing hands down!! Every thing else is a breeze!!! I have to be on this diet for 2 weeks and it's killing me!!! I'm nervous about what I'm going to look like after like am I going to have loose skin and things like that

Hi fellow sleevers : )

I had my Pre Op stuff done yesterday and I am scheduled for surgery on March 29th! I am extremely excited. I live in Green Cove Springs, FL (Right under Jacksonville) but will be traveling 5 hours to Boca Raton, FL for my surgery.

I have a Facebook that I made for my weight loss. If anyone would like to ad me it https://www.facebook.com/Food.vs.Life

Praying that we all have wonderful outcomes : )

      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.
