Recommended Posts

i got sleeved july 13th ; what i thought to be the greatest day of my life .... first two weeks were ok no complications or anything then BAMM who knew id spent the next 2 months in and out of the hospital with chronic nausea , i didnt eat all i did was sleep and watch movies & vomit ... i even did accupuncture which made me vommit more and finally went to a diffrent hospital where i spent 4 days i was severly dehydrated and my hernia caused me to be sick but at the hospital i was able to eat solid food & everything got better i started at 238 and leaving the hospital was at 187... now im better and able to eat regular food like salad and chicken my tastebuds do change quite often and i enjoy more salads for everymeal .. i used to hate them now a month later im back up to194 and havent loss anymore weight IS THIS IT?

since i was sick i couldnt do anything so alot of my mussul in my legs and arms went away now that im better im going to start the gym ... in the course of my recovery my father passed away ... he was 49 had a heart attack from no where:( he was in the hospital for pain in his stomach & on the day they were releasing him he had a massive heart attack i have been dealing with my emotions i guess i will begin to see a counslor this month .. when i was feeling better even after my dad past away i was feeling great & sexy i felt the 50lbs gone now im sad all the time & i stopped seeing my body changing i feel like before i had the surgery . im not sure if im getting depressed or whats going on :(:unsure:

You poor thing. You do need to see someone. Any WLS support groups you can go to? Sometimes just getting out there and seeing the world still goes on can be a good thing. Do whatever you can to feel better (except food!). Keep posting.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss! I do not know about you, but pre-surgery I handled all of that kind of stres and emotional turmoil by closet eating...

Now, I take it out on the track by jogging still I want to pass out or kick boxing or hitting a bag... It is so much more rewarding...

I would contact your nutritionist and get some good choice for Protein... and then start moving as much as you can... At times when I would normally eat (at the computer or while watching tv or when alone at the house) I try to exercise instead... just trying to make new habits...

        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
