Hey Tray i tried the ice it gave me relief until i took it off I already took some meds that had tylenol in it for my sinus headache and no Im not diabetic. Well they have an answering service that will connect me with my dr cell phone number but I don't want to call him for this it's not an emergency but it does hurt.

Twin, I think this can qualify as an emergency. U've already tried treating it urself and it's super important to not have it get any worse. I'm sure the doctor won't mind, and if he does, oh well! Lol It needs to be tended to if you feel as badly as you did week one with that particular incision. It's so great that you have those machines at home...Although, a manual treadmill--exhausting!!! Wow! lol But I'm sure it is such an asset so you can just bang it out. Which is my problem...Which like today. Didn't go walking as I thought. My issue is definitely just DOING it. Once I'm in it I bang it out and give it my all. But leaving my cozy home after a long tiring day...Ugh. Gotta change that. Lol

Tray thank you so much for the postivity. Chewing has been hard for me but even harder is SLOWING down. Ugh...I always over due it with the first couple of bites and then I get this horrible stuck feeling in my THROAT. That is what I don't understand. Why does it feel so HIGH and it ALWAYS happens with my first bite, no matter how much I feel like I chewed and took my time. Any ideas???

WE GOT THIS!!!

Nicole I agree with sleeping beauty call the doc.....i did the same thing waited ....it turned out I had to get my gall bladder removed I suffered aweekbc I didn't want to be a bother...

Sleeping with me I felt that all the time in the beginning ...for me I was a chicken person....but for some reason no matter how much a chew I couldn't break it down even till today I have trouble with certain food....dont drink anything before or after u eat at least for 30 minutes ....ur gonna learn foods u can n cannot eat.....I work as an emt n eating slowly was very difficult to get use to bc we are always on the go.....

Yeah, I LOVEEEE chicken!!! I really help I won't have an issue with it once I start getting fills. It's just so annoying when I get that feeling in my throat makes me fear how it'll be when I actually have restriction. And plus it makes me feel all panicky and scared that I may have to burp it up because it can't continue the "journey". Tray I can only imagine how hard that must be for you! That job definitely calls for promptness and rushing. But if you can do it, I must definitely should!

Today feeling better not 100% but my incision looks horrible and I clean it twice a day ugh. I have to take meds 3x's a day so that means I have to eat something that will sit well so it won't upset my stomach. This morning I had a cup of oatmeal and then took my meds for the next 3 hrs after that I felt really bad. Like a stuck feeling and then my throat felt like there was something in it. I kept drinking but it wouldn't go down finally relief came around 11 but I was scared to take my something after that anyone else have this feeling before????

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
