I got sleeved on Tuesday and having a hard time sipping the Water it's making me nauseous. Please share some tips with me.

I had extreme nausea had to stay in the hospital two extra days because of it. I went home with pills AND a little circle patch I had to put behind my ear. I just want to tell you to hang in there, it finally went away for me after about a week and a half. Be strong.

Thanks for all of the kind words! Day 2 has been a little rougher, but still manageable. Started with the barium swallow...Yuck! The long lasting numbing agent that they use at the incision sites wore off this morning and so I was a little sore because of that. My IV infiltrated and there was a student nurse so I got poked a couple of times, but that's fine. They have to learn somehow. I have done about 10 laps around the floor today and have been napping on and off. Other than that, I started my clear liquid diet. It is definitely a weird feeling when liquid hits your stomach! At first it was highly uncomfortable, but now it is just somewhat uncomfortable. I am nervous about the drain removal tomorrow, but after that, I get to go home! I feel like I got the lucky end of the surgery stick! Again, thanks for all of the kind words!

        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
