I hate the way I feel



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I feel so uncomfortable . I have lost 42 pounds since my sleeve 11/27/12 . But I'm so weak and I take the Multivitamin plus the B12. Everything I try to eat makes me extremely nauseous . Does it get easier ? I need a light at the end of this tunnel honestly . When will I feel like myself again ?

I was sleeved 12/5 and I have lost 22lbs. I do not feel weak ever. Are you getting your Protein and fluids. Have you discussed this with your doctor?

I think it would be best to contact your Bariatric team as they know your medical condition. Better to be safe than sorry. Hope you feel better soon

I also feel pretty weak and tired. I had my sleeve 12/19 and also feel uncomfortable when I eat. I do get my Water, Protein, and all my Vitamins in every day. Some days I feel like I just can't put one foot in front of the other! I'm sure hoping this passes soon! I'm also interested if anyone else has had this experience?

Hi so sorry you arent feeling well. Everyone recovers from surgery differently. I am hoping to have my surgery soon

and I was very fearful of not feeling well and being nausous all the time. I would recommend talking with your doctor and

nutritionist. I only know 2 people that have had this surgery and both are feeling well after 5 weeks or so. Good Luck,

Amy

I couldn't agree more I'm 4 weeks out and today I had a half of Protein Shake and half a Greek yogurt and that's it. Everything makes me feel sick. It bums me out I'm depressed and weepy because I have no energy to handle my 4 little ones. I wish I knew it would get better!

I am 5 months out now and it truly does get better. I remember feeling bad for weeks and never thinking I would have energy again. My turning point was at 3 months out. One day things just got easier and they have been improving ever since. Rest, drink as much as you can and eat the right foods. If something does not agree with your sleeve, don't eat it for a week or two. Try new foods, don't eat the same thing each day. I still cannot drink Protein Drinks or milk but I can handle most other food now. It really is one day at a time.

Maybe you're eating too fast.....I haven't had much Protein either..but I try to get on as much as I can in my foods....if I don't have anything else I eat protein and take vitamins.....all Protein shakes are garbage to me....buy a small thing of Welch's grape juice...drink maybe 2-4 oz..it has a 38grams of sugar but its all natural..it will make the sluggish feeling history.

        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
