Hi guys. I had my sleeve on Nov 28 and am into week 3 and I have to say I'm super down in the dumps.

I've lost 40lbs but I don't feel any better. The knee pain has gotten worse, I'm nauseous all the time. I have no idea how or what to eat and I'm having nightmares about food.

Tonight I was doing dishes after having my 3 oz of mashed potatoes and I just started vomiting. But it wasn't food it was yellowy green bile almost and tasted awful. Have no idea why that happened.

I'm just depressed, still in pain, afraid of food and generally miserable with my decision.

Any words of encouragement would help. Thanks in advance for listening to the complaining.

Hang in there hun - I felt like hell for what felt like forever and did not start to perk up until I was close to 7 weeks out. My husband is the poster child for smooth sailing after surgery and he had had no issues.

I bled internally and had to have multiple blood transfusions that kept me in the hospital for a week, then i get home and an incision opens and i am bleeding everywhere and it would not stop - so back we go the the Er later that night - just about all drinks and foodtasted like a** - when I could eat i vomited - i felt like I was dying of thirst, it was hell getting my liquids and Protein in, I had an acute flare of osteo-arthritis and I literlally could not stand for two weeks. I could go on and on lol.

Oooh I was miserable and I would not trade one second of it - it was worth every bit of misery :) Hang in there - you will start to feel better eventually. From your ticker you don't look like you have far to go. My husband went from 318 in May to 189 currently, and i am inching my way toward goal.

I think you might want to call the dr on this one. I don't think you should be that nauseous. Your nut and dr might be able to figure out why, and come up with a diet that is more in-tune with your tummy. Then you would know for sure what to eat.

Thanks guys. Part of the problem is I don't have a doctor or NUT. I did my surgery in Mexico. Ill make an appt with my doctor here and see what he says. Can probably at least get a NUT.

To be clear the nausea comes and goes for the last week or so.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
