Just wondering how others are feeling. The gas pains are horrible. Gas-X is not working. What else are others using? The dry heaves have just about stopped but still don't have an appetite. Just trying to get some liquids in at this point. I know there's light at the end of the tunnel but it seems so far away right now. ????

Mine was 3/18. Everyone is different but the gas is an issue for me too. It's making me feel like I'm hungry and I find myself craving certain foods that I can't eat right now being on a liquid diet.< /p>

That's exactly what I'm feeling! I feel hungry too...I think I am because I haven't been able to tolerate anything but green tea. Popsicles, jell-o, Isopure are all WAYYYY to sweet and make me gag. *deep sigh* I feel better knowing I'm not alone. :)

Luckily no bad gas pains. I take walks to help with this. I was sleeved Mon and was horrible nauseous. I was not able to keep any liquid down and through mult I

Chest X-rays shower the opening to my stomach from the esophagus was almost closed. All the Fluid I took in would stay in my esophagus. A horrible feeling. Long story short I got Pneumonia in both lungs. Waiting to get a pic line and maybe sent home soon?. Nausea is better when I don't eat. What I wounded do for a big gulp sf lemonade. Trying to stay positive this too shall pass.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying you get home soon and begin the healing process. There is light at the end of the tunnel...we're getting there! Slow and steady wins the race. :) Wishing you the best.

      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.
