I had surgery last friday. And as of two days ago im back in the hospital do to dehydration. I was trying to keep up with fluids and had a huge bottle of Water next to me sipping as often as I could but it just wasnt enough. But they also are observing how.much im eating. Im not sure if it was normal but due to severe paon when eating r drinking protien shakes I focused more on liqueds so they are also keeping me until I.can get more food down. Has anyone had pain when swallowing, where when the food hit your stomach it felt like you were punched and you could hardly breath,? it last's maybe a few seconds but it is enough to scare me from eating. Is this normal or maybe my sleeve is to tight? Advice plz! I wanna go home!

I had surgery on June 4th and I'm still only allowed liquids. The first time I tried to cheat and eat instant mashed potatoes the pain was so horrendous it felt like someone punched me and I couldn't breath.

You are already on real food???

Are you drinking liquids out of the Water bottle? I can't and I'm almost 4 weeks out . Water bottles make me pull in too much air. I was given one ounce cups to drink out. I guarantee you if you try sipping out of a cup instead of sipping out of a water bottle it will help you immensely.

What is it that you are having issues with? Water in general or shakes but you said food....what is the food? I would only try one teaspoon of sugar-free Jello at a time. Try sugar-free popsicles.

Sending you my prayers.

Yes! I had the exact same pain for about 3 weeks post op. Eventually, it will get better. It was worse when I drank cold things. I would keep my Water at room temp. I also started mixing Gatoraid G2 in with my water and that is what saved me. It help so much to keep me hydrated. Try that when you get home. I hope you feel better soon. It will go away but I know that doesn't ease the pain now. It hurt terribly! God Bless!

I had the same thing!!! The only thing I could do was eat popsicles. Then at 4 weeks it started getting better. Hang in there.

I thought they were pain, nausea and fever but I am not 100%. If he did a test, hopefully you are safe. :)

You need to get checked out - fever and pain is not good. My Doctor required that I call him right away if I was having any fever with pain.

I agree with Karen.....get yourself checked out as soon as possible. What you said about the fevers and the sweats makes me think you might have an infection. There's always a risk of infection with any surgery. Please keep us posted on your situation!

My doctor advances you to mushies two days out. I wasn't ready, so I pushed myself back a week. I have been eating for several days now...

Get to the ER! My main symptom of my leak was left shoulder pain! I am not sure an xray can even see a leak, usually it needs to involve contrast - like an upper GI. Fever and pain are big indicators!!

      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
