So I get my recomened fluids of 64 ounces and 100 g Protein. I take all my vitems daily. I have been dizy since Friday and now I have had a headache for two days. I called my dr but he has been so busy and is over booked they say to just go to the er and get fluids. Problem is I know my man he will be worried even more about me and be more drink eat drink eat with me. And then he will feel pressure to make me better and not let me end up in the er again. I feel bad I don't want him to feel pressure like it is up to him to keep me healthy one that's my job and two sometimes things like this happen after this surgery itching could be done right? I was thinking about going to the er for guilds tommrow while he and the kid are at work/school and not saying anything.....but then if he finds out will be cranky I didn't tell him saying I am stubborn and need to let him take care of stuff....why can't he be like that about taking out trash and dishes lol

I gusse the point is could I be dehydrated even if I am drinking what they say and should I go get fluids tonight or put off till tommrow I been feeling crappy since Friday. What's one more day

If you suspect you are already dehydrated, 1 more day could be fatal. Go to the ER and tell hubby the best thing he can do is encourage you to drink more Water. Water is a super food, especially right now.

Well he talked me into staying home and helped me remember to drink when I slowed down ie forgot and I am doing great now I even am getting more than recomened and no long dizzy or foggy headed feeling so much better. I realized while Protein Drinks are good if I want lots of guilds just drinking plain Water works best I love the stuff and drink a lot more of it than anything else if that is what's in my cup

        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
