I am scheduled for my gastric sleeve on 12/27/21

I am scared and nervous . Anyone getting second thoughts?

I was scared until I did it. I had mines done on 12/10 and as of today I am 16lbs down. I have no regrets. It’s a difficult journey but it’s worth it. You can do it!! ✊?

Oh no, sorry to hear. I remembered your surgery was yesterday and was hoping for the best for you. Hopefully it’s just inflammation causing the problem and it will get better real soon. Keep us posted.

Thank you. Im so scared . I feel alone. I know it’s not an easy journey and I’m ready but I’m just having second thoughts because all my family is saying not to do it ?

I went through that. It was divided. Some supported my decision and others opposed it but I did it and I have no regrets. Do what you feel you need to do. Remember that this is your body and you Are doing this to live, right? Mines was a little complexed than yours because I traveled to Mexico. My insurance wouldn’t cover it so I did what I needed to do. My surgeon and medical team were great, I met a lot of wonderful people from all over and I’m happy that I made the choice to go.

Thank you ? I’m 27 and just need this change in order to live a healthier life style and feel better about myself. You have no idea what ur comments have done for me emotionally. Thank you so much! ❤️

I had mine the 15th. Struggling really hard on my post op liquid diet. I feel great and feel like I can eat whatever I want but I know I can't. I got a bypass and the post op diet is STRICT. how are yall doing post op? Any tips?

My surgery was yesterday

Was sleeved 12/06, had my transition appt and on 12/27 I can start “soft” foods. I’m questioning what my nutritionist told me. She said I can have cottage cheese tuna hummus or tofu… and have to wait an entire month for chicken. And for some reason I just think it’s wrong? Practically everyone I know who was sleeved could have chicken already. I hate cheese tofu and hummus so am I supposed to live on fish for a month what the heck ?

Hello to everyone, thank you for all the information, I hope everyone is doing well, I had my surgery on 12/09/2021. I am currently on puréed for until, 01/19/2021. I am struggling to get my protein and water in, however I am doing well, I do have a hard time using the bathroom room, it’s nearly nonexistent, When I swallowed too fast I get very bad stomach pain. But I am getting my 5000 steps in most of the time. All in all it’s not too bad, no dizzy spell or light headed feeling.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy holiday season.

Stay safe virus is very bad out there.
take care.

Hi there -

First post ever! I had surgery on the 15th of December, released from the hospital on December 16th. Feel pretty good - but having a lot of trouble with the protein requirement which is making me very tired and weak. I hate the shakes and got permission from my surgeon to drink the protein water instead. Now I'm beginning to develop an aversion to that.

I go back to the doctor on the 27th. I'm hoping - hoping! - he'll release me then to start eating soft foods. I'm still on liquids only.

How quickly were you able to eat soft foods? I see a lot of people eating eggs and yogurt far more quickly than the 2 weeks I've been told. Also, how soon do you start to feel...."normal" again? I just feel so weak and fuzzy.

I checked my food logs. I had a bite of dark meat turkey and ham for thanksgiving (day 17). Then I waited a few more days and had dark meat chicken again. I was also able to eat puréed chicken breast. I limited it to an ounce. After I hit a month, I tried ground turkey and chicken breast. The chicken breast was too dry and made me sick. I try to keep my protein to 2 oz.

I had that feeling the next day too. Try to walk as much as you can to get the gas out. I think the gas and pain meds were making me feel sick. I preferred crystal light lemonade to water after the surgery. The day after was the worst for me. You should be feeling better tomorrow. Hang in there!
