I got sleeve on Friday and I keep asking myself what I have done. I feel down. Can anyone help. I'm feeling depresse. Sleeve therapists where are you?

Honey you are not alone. I broke down to my husband today as i was gagging up my antibiotics....feeling nausea and a bit of pain. I couldn't believe I had done this to myself. He asked me a simple question "why did u do it"....It reminded me off all the awesome reasons i did this and even though i still physically felt the same, I knew i did it for the right reasons and this too will pass!

Get some ginger root, remove the skin and cut up then pour 8 oz of boiling Water over it.

Thank you. I going to get some tomorrow. So remove the skin and put 8 oz of hot Water and drink the water. Like a tea right. I'm only taking like 4 a day of water. Don't know what I'm going to do. I need to keep myself hydrated

so how much can you eat at a year out swimmer? seeing as i'm on a completely liquid diet and only expect to do 2 ounces at a go after it ends...i'm a bit curious how much you feel comfortable eating at a year out.

At a year out I feel I can eat like a normal thin person if I wanted. I seem to have much more restriction than many I know at a similar point. If it's Soup, yogurt or soft food like that I can eat a single serving now. I still can only eat 2 oz of meat or solid Protein. I can now eat almost an entire Protein Bar those most can eat it all at this point. I can't have bread, Pasta or tortillas without feeling super uncomfortable. I don't eat it often but I can eat half a piece of pizza. It just makes me sick so I don't. I can easily eat a small piece of fruit or a string cheese for a snack. It just feels normal. I eat slow and it's a much better life.

I was the same way, but turn on ur side have ur husband push ur knees to ur chest, it makes u burp or pass gas!!! Also he needs to rub where it hurts!!! Feel better and think positive, a positive attitude helps a lot!!

You need to get some Gas X strips they really do work and so does walking. Everyday will get better. Try and keep positive it makes the time fly faster. sleep all you can and make sure to get your Fluid in. That is the most important so you wont get dehydrated. Worry about your Protein later, try some gatorade it might godown easier. Keep us up to date. We are here for you, it will get better you have to believe. :-)

I think everyone goes through a freak out moment after surgery " WTF DID I DO" Try to remember all the reasons you got the surgery :)you want Better health, higher self esteem good body image ,nice sexy clothing ,normal shoes, No yo yo dieting. This is what calmed me down and reminded me of why I had the surgery. I also YouTube before and afters, that's my favorite. Hang in there it will get better day by day. Get your liquids, protein,meds in and walking helps with the tummy discomfort :) It will get better you made the right decision xoxo

I regret not having this done before I ballooned to 360 pounds. It was very difficult at first, but got easier as time passed. I have lost 94 pounds. I feel great and my joints don't ache anymore. This was the BEST decision I could have ever made.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
