So I'm almost a month post op but as of two days ago my stomach has been very upset.. It's not a pain feelings, it's more a heavy feeling on my pouch like I just wanna throw up. I still barely eat so I know it's not bc I've eaten to fast or to much... But I do drink Water so so much, think it's possible I drank to much for my pouch and it's still upset???

Wow that's so weird I too am feeling very suck to my stomach the way you described. I was sleeved 3/18. And the last two days have been very rough, I feel like any Water is making it worse, but I know I have to drink it but don't want to. Am also on medication since hospital for nausea, but today at my desk I want to go get sick but don't want everyone to hear:(

Yeah, I was sleeved the 19th! I called my doctor and they aren't to concerned bc it doesn't hurt when it goes down just feels weird once it's down, they told me to just try warm liquids today! So try that? I am going to and to not worry about eating or getting Protein but they stressed chicken broth to get sodium, I hope this passes for us !

I am 3 1/2 mos postop. I still have trouble with Water. It feels heavy or something. I have better luck with cold crystal light lemonade or warm tea (not too hot).

Don't worry you are not failing, everyone is different. Out of surgery I had a very hard time keeping anything down and was always nauseas. Some people do get there hunger back right away... Just make sure you're not over eating and also make sure you're not confusing it with head hunger!

Sometimes I really think it is head hunger, it us so ugly outside I can't go out and I'm very restless, and before I would eat on rainy gloomy days , but everything I make my son to eat I take a bite, I really need to stop or all this was for nothing.

Sometimes I wish I wanted to eat bc I'm always weak and have a headache but I can't help it... I'm 3 weeks post op and I've already lost 35 lbs "/ .. It's definitely taken a toll on me... But yes, it might be head hunger bc you're so used to eating... Just be strong and instead of taking little bites of stuff make a healthy meal that you'll feel good about! It takes time and in reality this is just a tool so make smart choices!! Keep your head up lovely !!

Sorry you're struggling. Remember your new stomach is just like starting over as an infant. They can't tolerate more solid foods immediately either. It is a full time job at first, you are putting something in your mouth every 15 minutes. Try going back a food stage and see if that settles your stomach. You can also try a different brand of Protein. I used nectar for the first 4 months because it was so much easier to digest. As for exercise, it is really important to stay active, as that helps trigger the process to move things out of your stomach. When the weather was bad, I would walk laps downstairs. My cat would attack my ankles because he got so annoyed. (Haha!) I am 14 months out and have lost 122 lbs. so don't give up. Just keep trying different things til you find what works for you!

I'm one month post op and its still hard to do everything: Water, Vitamins, food, exercise. I think I'm still afraid of eating too much and am probably not eating enough. I'm down 25 lbs. I've only been walking waiting for green light to do more.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
