Losing Hope Sleeve Leak 8 mos post op
Tryingtogetmylifeback replied to losinghope15's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey everybody just lgot back on today and you all were right. My surgeon said I was fine and not yo worry. I blacked out the next day and had to be taken to the Hospital via ambulance for dehydration and lack of food. Im still struggling with this 64oz of water deal. I have never been a big drinker so I either get the water or I get food. Im doing my best to balance it out. Its just hard to eat and drink when you feel full all the time -
Oops just read your ladt post. Glad you broke up with him. GOD will send you something better for sure.

You sound like you get your worth in life by helping others. You are probably the go to girl for everybody. Its good in life to enjoy being needed and lending a helping hand, but once you have children that addiction of being there for people has to go. If it wrre me I would start breaking up with him slowly. Weining myself away little by little. Start to consider other options and dont feel obligated to stay because of his professions of love for you. Sometimes people who have battled with weight tend to have the do unto others attitude about everything because we have been treated so badly in life. That does not apply in all situations. GOD gave you a heart and a Brain. Drug/Alcohol use is dangerous around kids because it impairs the ability of the user to make rational decisions and after only 5 months you dont know him well enough to know what he would do if he looses it one day.

Going to see the surgeon today. Asking myself why I did this to myself. Please someone pray for me. I am a single mother and I cant afford to have any major issues pop up. Im believing GOD for a full and speedy recovery. -

My recovery is going well but I seem to have drank too much broth the other day and Im still feeling full almost two days later. Like uncomfortably full. I havent had any liquids or anything sine Sat afternoon. Im kinda scared other than this everything seems to be ok. I want to vomitbut I cant. Not sure what to do? -
Pre-surgery - Emotionally STUCK!
Tryingtogetmylifeback replied to bhopeful's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Got my surgery on the 6th at which time I also had a hiatal hernia repaired and my gallbladder removed. I was so scared. The worst part was shaking the aneshesia. Everything else has been ok. Most of my pain is from Gas and the hernia repair. Im still in the hospital I hope to be ready to go home on Friday. I think I will be ok to roll by then. Everybody swore by the gas strips I aint farted since I been here. They Worked no miracles for me thus far. I would definitely recommend getting the mouth spray to keep your mouth moist. Im still on fluids and stay dry. I regretted it the first day(surgery). Prayers and a strong support system have me up and doing good now. Seems like once they knew it was happening they all jumped on board. P. S. the pain meds are better in the hospital so stay and be comfortable as long as you can. You will be on your own soon enough. -

You can do it. Im on day 3 of my clear liquid diet. Surgey is on Tuesday. Probably sounds bad but I go to bed earlier yo help out with it. Eating the right foods often is what has helped me. Good Luck. -

Pre-surgery - Emotionally STUCK!
Tryingtogetmylifeback replied to bhopeful's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I keep feeling the same way. My family is not supportive and it doesnt help. I feel like I can do this on my own....But in my heart I know there is a big possibility for relapse. Do I back out for fear of " what if " or do I keep going ? -
Worried? Scared? Feel like jumping out of my own skin!
Tryingtogetmylifeback replied to Yadi Perez's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel like that right now. I'm scheduled for surgery Oct. 6th. I have rescheduled 3 times. I also have to have my gallbladder removed and a hernia repaired. I don't even take aspirin and here I am scheduled for WLS. I used to say I would never do this. I'm still trying to figure out how I let myself go this far. But I also know that I have been this way for too long and my body is starting to fight me back now, its tired and I have to do something. I'm trying to find a reason to back out. But I know I'm just going to have to jump and pray that GOD carries me. You will be ok. We will be ok.
