I guess you have to learn the hard way..

It's happened three or four times..but darn is it memorable.

Still on full fluids (I see surgeon for first post op visit tomorrow).

If I finish my full fluids too soon, I get this horrible, nauseated, full, weak in the knees sensation.

It lasts about 30-45 minutes (sometimes shorter), and passes.

It is just awful. No pain per say, just this terrible bloated, sick to my stomach sort of feeling.

Is there a name for this, or is it just overfilling my sleeve that causes it?

The first time happened when I drank my Boost drink too quickly. I was at a birthday party and was feeling fairly weak, so I rushed to drink it. Bad move.

I guess I need to really slow it down.

Has this happened to you?

Now I am frightened to start pureed foods.

You need to slow down because when you get to the food stage if you eat to fast it's much worse. I learned the hard way. You will get horrible pain in the chest and then I started sliming and threw up. It really isn't pretty. Just slow way down and when you feel full STOP.

Boost may have to much sugar in it as well. I know my dietician told me no more than 8g of sugar at a time. She said it would produce a dumping like feeling that you're describing.

I drink the calorie smart Boost, only 4 gms of sugar in it.

When I drink things that are cold (like the Protein shakes) I feel queasy. Room temp and warm do not give me problems.

      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
