Frustrated Today-Can't Get Anything Down



Recommended Posts

I'm so frustrated today. I can't get anything down today except liquids. I tried the tiniest bit of soft food and it hurts. Trying a shake now and its sorta okay, but still a little sore. Not sure if this is normal. I know that the amount you can eat and what your stomach likes differs...but I haven't had a day where I just CAN"T get anything down. Any advice besides staying hydrated (which I'm trying to do.)

Oh and yesterday I ate rice for the first time. Not a lot, just a few tiny little bites. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. And I've been super constipated too and took ducolax this morning. Went appliance shopping yesterday and almost passed out in the middle of Lowe's. Not sure what's going on.

Hey y'all:

Hang in there! At this point, just focus on getting in Fluid. I sipped Gatorade many a day to stay hydrated (and I didn't worry about the sugar, as I watered it down and put ice in it). Just do what you need to do to stay hydrated and let your body heal. It really does get better and easier to eat as you go--no need to rush it. Feels like you should be "doing something," but don't push your body. If it hurts to eat, focus on sipping and rest as much as you can. Hugs to both of you!

Sometimes sipping warm drinks is a little easier (tea, broth, etc). I hope you get to feeling better soon! *hugs*

        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
