3 weeks out...still feeling sick



Recommended Posts

I need help, I am eating and drinking all the right stuff and still feel like I am going to throw up almost all day long. Any tips? I am taking some nasuea meds, but they are hard to get down too. I am throwing up froth and some times just dry heaving. Any thoughts? Will it get better? I am still on full liquids.< /p>

I felt the same way...and still do occasionally I am 4 weeks, 3 days out right now. It was like a switch was flipped Monday my 4 week day. All of a sudden I could eat and didn't feel so gross afterward. If I eat too fast or too big of bites I can feel it otherwise...EVERYONE was right...it does get a lot better!

GOOD LUCK!

Monday I will be 4 weeks out and I'm nauseated and even occasional vomiting. I'm so sick I cannot even leave the house. I'm much sicker than right after the surgery. Meds do not seem to help and that's if I can get them. I know I'm not drinking or eating enough, but I just can't!! I so sick I'm beginning to be sorry that I had surgery. I need to return to work in 2 weeks and cannot even imagine how that is going to happen. Will I ever feel better again?!!!

Helena... is it possible that you could be getting dehydrated? I know that all of those issues can be exacerbated by not getting enough fluids in you... Have you tried calling your surgeon and see what their viewpoint is? I really hope you start feeling better... Good Luck

        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.

      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
