The 1st Day Of My Gastric Sleeve Surgery Journey

[loserbaby 12]

I'm ruining this surgery I had two years ago cuz I'm binge eating again n not exercising n gaining so much weight! I'm stuck! I eat till it hurts or I throw up n the acid reflux is still so bad. I have a really bad ulcerative cholitis flair up from stress for the past two months n I'm so weak n depressed. I feel so guilty and bad for myself that I went through the surgery just to mess it all up and everyone is telling me I am "fat again." :0( nothing fits n everything on my body is ugly n saggy. I need to motivate myself again n remember why I did this which was to never get back to this mess again! Self sabotage. It's everytime I lose a friendship or relationship this happens. Fml

I'm new here, but you should post in the veterans forum. I think you will find support and ideas there

Hi. I just joined this site :0)

I was approved by my insurance this week (Bluesheild CA PPO).

I have my Pre-op apt this week.

I will hopefully have my Gastric Sleeve surgery in 2wks.

I have been so nervous now that this is becoming a reality and have not slept in nights reading posts. This site has helped a lot so far.

My main concerns are healing' date=' pain, vomiting, and possible leakage, etc.

I'm in my 30's and weigh 252. I'm 5.3ft

I plan to continue to post followups on this same thread as I go through this, so you can check in :0)

I'm in Southern CA

Thank you for your support.[/quote']

I have similar measurements, surgery in 2 weeks. I cannot sleep, but I'm thankful to this forum.

I am not having an easy time with the taste of the Vitamins (chewable) and the shake!! I do not even know if I'm putting the right proportion of mix to the h2o!! It's only day one n I feel so hungry' date=' have a major headache n nauseous!! Blah. Only 2.5 more weeks of this :0/[/quote']

I mix mine powder protien with almond milk instead of Water, it tastes much better!

I started this thread... I was doing better than I thought on my last post because now I truly have gained at least 35 pounds back! I can eat a lot more and it's such a huge Shame to b back to my old bad binge eating habits of fatty foods frequently and lack of movement. I was size 9 just several months ago and now I'm creeping up to size 16!!!!! After going through this surgery how could I let this happen again?!?! Anyhow I started the gym again but I'm so lazy. My dog has gotten chubby again too ???? I am anemic now n need B12 shots, which apparently is a side effect common from bariatric surgery. I need to get back on the track I was on post surgery n b motivated! It's a little over 2yrs now n I hope I can push myself as I did post surgery n remember all I went through n set another goal n accomplish it!! Acid reflux is better. but I'm thinking that's just cuz my stomach has stretched... I'm frustrated n need motivation to get to my goal n back on track. My family says "it's a crime you went through all that n did that to your stomach n now u r ruining it!" ????????

Hi, GIMB

I'm not sleeved yet and new to this site, but I wanted you to know that I wish you well. From what I've read, many people have issues a couple of years out, but the sleeve is still there,ready to work for you. If your surgeon's office and his staff have not been helpful(and from your posts, it sounds that way), you could always place yourself under the care of a different group. I have reflux too, but my surgeon said that he's almost always able to manage it. It must be so hard to still have that pain after all of this time.

I hope that you get the help and support you need and deserve. Don't be down on yourself for leaving the path, just get the advice you need to get back on it. Wishing you every success.
