I really want to sleep!!! Went to bed at 10:45. Got up at 12:30. Can't go back to sleep. Tried walking, tried pillows, tried I Love Lucy. Not in pain. Don't have gas. Just can't sleep!

Sorry you can't sleep. I have never been a good sleeper. I usually work nights so my schedule stays messed up. Since the surgery (7/22) I don't think I've slept more than 3 hours at a time. Like you, no real pain or gas, just wake up:) Right now I have the FBI files on TV and I'm playing on the computer. And of course...sipping water! lol

I just got all my Protein for the day in. I didn't expect to on my second day home. I'm still working on Water though. That's a little harder. It's not that I don't like it' date=' I'm just running out of hours in the day.

I would love a Protein Drink about now. I can't so anything but Clear Liquids until my first post op visit so bummed. I can now feel when I'm hungry vs my mi d just wanting to eat.

Thinking of calling and asking the doctor if I could try my shakes. I don't want to mess anything up. broth and water work well.

Have to have three Protein Drinks a day. I have to mix the powder with water. I can also have Isopure clear Liquid Protein drinks. Monday I start full liquids and can have creamed Soups made with milk (strained) and sugar free pudding. I can make Protein Shakes with milk then, too. I can't wait for Monday. LOL

I can only do clear, I have to meet with the doctor Wednesday then it's on to full liquids. I test drove saltines and it was great two crackers and I felt better. Chewed to oblivion and chased with a swallow of broth. Heaven lol.

I have to say I find it interesting that I can get my fluids in. I sip like crazy. I just use a regular 8oz glass it takes about an hour to empty. The sip bottle got on my nerves plus the top smelled after a while, I scrub it all the time.

I hope I get to start my proteins Wednesday.

I brought zippy cups. I lov it. The only problem is that takes a long time to finish 8oz. Hopefully i will b able to drink like u. I am just afraid that if i drink too much my sleeve is going to open.

My throat has been killing me. I finally thought to look at it and it was covered in white blister like things. And I've had horrible diarrhea all day. I called my doctor and he called in a pill plus a swish and swallow and I already feel a little better. My doctor was so nice too. He called me back in less than 5 minutes on a sat evening, said it was no trouble at all and immediately called in the scrips, then texted me to let me know it was done. Love Dr. Jawad. It is thrush. I can't remember who just said they had thrush, but are you taking something for it?

      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.
