My sleeve story! Ups and Downs.



Recommended Posts

I just got my VSG sleeve on 12/30/13. I am so glad I gave myself this present for Xmas. I started this journey at 271 pounds an would like to get down to at least 160 or so. The 2nd and 3rd day post op was the toughest. I was nauseas a little but the pain in the middle incision where they did the hernia repair was the most painful. I am now in the 5th day of post op an am feeling pretty good but for some reason I cannot seem to quench this thirst. Does anyone have any suggestions. Please post your story, updates an progress. It will be great to get support an give support on this phenomenal journey we all on this site have started.

It takes time, just keep sipping. I had mine on 12/11 so I understand. It does get better, I have to continue to remind myself that I can't gulp Water anymore. So I put it in front of me and keep sipping every 15 minutes or so. Hang in there.

I used to get up early to start drinking! At 6 months out now I can gulp Water almost as fast as pre surgery! It does get better slowly. Hang in there and drink, drink, drink!!! Good luck????

sugar free Popsicles were great for me! I still can't drink fast and I could barely drink at 5 days out, so they kept my mouth wet and Fluid going in. I loved the tropical, for the record.

Congrats on your successful surgery and welcome! I started at 264 and am 164 now. I still have a little ways to go, but if I can do it, you can, too!!

We have the same surgery date and starting weight :) I feel sooo much better. Those first 4 days really sucked! How often are you weighing? I lost about 10 lbs immediately and then the scale hasn't budged an ounce for 6 days or more. I feel like wt should be falling off lbs per day seeing how only liquids are going in (No way I'm drinking too many calories). Oh well. Wishful thinking :) hope you're doing great!

Awesome Carsonmom, I have lost about 14 pounds do far but with all the healthy stuff going in more is to come. Sometime inches will come off sooner than pounds. Keep in touch with me we can keep each other motivated.

Myfitnesspal.com is great to track drinking foods and exercises. I find now at almost 4 months out, I can drink Water as much as I want. I have to make a conscious effort to start drinking as soon as I get up, or I get behind.

      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.
