I had the sleeve done a couple days ago, and I feel like no one around me knows the pain I'm in. Sometimes I feel I won't accept my "new body" since I've been overweight basically since my adolescent. Probably just need to vent.

Plan ahead with your liquid diet, half of my stress came from what was I going to eat pre open and post op. And don't be afraid to ask for that pain medicine lol. I was really sore when I woke up and felt like I was going to throw up, but in time it went away. And honestly I'm still dealing with head hungers. But good luck I'll be here lol, if you have any questions.

no way, we were the same day by the same doctor same hospital.

I understand exactly what you are saying I am 1 week post op and I am just ready to get on with it. I have never regretted this decision but I wish that I can feel like myself again I don't know if what I am feeling is me healing due to I never had surgery before I wish I was doing this with somebody close to me so we can talk and compare glad I found this app

@@roxygal1 I totally understand how you're feeling! That was my first surgery also and I regretted it entirely, but honestly 3 weeks out and it got better. Eventhough I have my partner I feel like no one would understand me unless they went through it. But don't worry I promise it gets better and it takes time, I see it like the surgery was the easy part now comes the hard part. Where I just want to eat like before and fight head hungers.

@@Foxy_lady I'm down 22, just waiting 5 more days to start training, still having problems eating anything they said to eat but it gets easier as the time goes by

@@CarbonFiberA350 oh wow I don't have a problem eating as long as I eat slowly (which honestly I'm not used to) and if I chew everyhting. Hopefully it gets better, keep me updated!

Hey there,

I am in East Brunswick and pre-op with Dr. Sadek. Going through cardiac tests this week and have my endoscopy on May 3. I requested June 29 for my surgery as I have time off for the summer. Reading up on advice from everyone and hoping to prepare myself for all the changes. Congrats to all of you already working with your new tool.

@@Reason to Believe Hey, so I took just a couple days off since I thought a month would be way too long honestly. But everyone is different, I felt alright with walking after a week and ok to work around the same time period. Good luck with everything!!

I was sleeved 3/9 as well with Dr. Sadek @ RWJ

Omg @ Foxy_lady, I kno exactly how you are feeling. I had mine done on 3/7 and the regret feelings I had every day until yesterday, I think when we start feeling better from the pain most of the regrets go away. Hang in there you will feel better,
