I am six days today and feeling ok. I think I let myself get very dehydrated and Monday I started paying the price for it. Nauseous and very weak. I have been pushing fluids, well actually my mom and sister have been pushing fluids on me, and I am feeling much better ths morning. I finally feel like this was a good decision again. Man yesterday I was regretting the whole thing! I actually joked with my sister that if I died she had to find a way to bury me in the size eight skinny jean I brought before surgery! I will get in to those jeans somehow!

Whew, glad I am feeling better this morning. I will never understand why dehydration makes you nauseous, seems so counterproductive.

I am also 6 days post surgery and I hear you about the mushies. Yesterday was a bad day for me. I am on 2 bp meds and my bp fell to 79/57 and I was dehydrated. I hadn't had a bm since surgery and finally started the night before, it was diarhea and I think it added tothe dehydration. Ended up at the acute care of my health plan had 2 bags of fluids and had to lay on my back with my feet up to get my bp back up.I have to stop my bp for awhile but monitor it so it doesn't go up too high.

Today all is well, I feel great and counting the days to mushies.Hang in everyone, I see the light at the end of the liquid tunnel and it is bright!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
