Well I have one heck of a week I am so glad it is over. Last week I was craving some watermelon. I am on the mushie stage. So I got some seedless watermelon puree it in the blender. Well it went down fine and it everything was okay. On Monday I started to get a bad stomach ache everytime I drank or ate something. Well on Tuesday it got worse, I ate Breakfast and after that it went downhill. The pain and vomiting was bad. I so afraid I might have a leak or ucler. So on Wednesday I went to emergency room and they did tests and blood work. I was concerned about a leak and the surgeon said at seven weeks the staple line is healed. So that was sigh of relief. Well what happen was something got stuck in the opening of stomach to the colon which casue some inflamation which was causing the pain and naueous. So they gave me some medicine and things are getting better. Now I can keep things down. In the process of thinking watermelon was the only I have eaten that different in my diet. So sleevers becareful of those seeds if accidently swollen them by mistake. It will be awhile for I eat watermelon again. So I am taking things very slow. I am eating about 2 oz. right now that is all my sleeve can take. I hope this issue helps someone realize how sensitive your sleeve can be. Well enough of my rambling.

Have a great weekend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post about what happened to you! It's a good warning for everyone out there to know that even the smallest things may not be small enough and to be diligent in the chew chew chewing and of course, not to swallow foreign objects lol

All kidding aside, I'm so glad you're feeling better!

I had an egg for the first time and lost it! Back to shakes for me, maybe I need more healing time before moving on? First time I've been sick. Day 17

      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.
