sorry to hear that you haven't a hard time.. my thoughts and prayers with you. Once you get some iv fluids in you and some antibiotics you will feel so much better. Did they confirm that you had a PE?

Thanks to EVERYONE for the kind words of encouragement & inspiration!! I have pulmonary embolism and I'm currently on blood thinners to get rid of the clots..I'm very dehydrated but hopefully the iv fluids will help me with that. The way that I'm feeling I know it can't be worst so it's only uphill from here...thanks you guys!!!

Ok silly woman on all the meds, it's downhill / easier from here on out please! No more bad stuff! LOL

ok sorry, I don't want you to giggle because that probably hurts like hell right now. Please know that we're all here for you and pulling for you. Pneumonia isn't all that uncommon after surgery unfortunately. Now that you're in the hospital (sucky place to be, but it's a good thing you're getting the care you need right now!) you'll be getting the good drugs and kick it out of your system asap! Is your surgeon part of your team of doctors right now?

I feel so bad for you *hugs!* and wish you were home and comfy and recuperating. Like my mom tells me "Can't you just do things the easy way?!" lol

Feel better soon!

xoxo, Renee`

        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!

      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
