My nut said no raw veggies until two months frm surgery date. Something about it possibly getting stuck.

Good thing I didn't do it!!!

Feeling crappy today! Just barfed for the first time and I can't keep anything down. I'm super mad because I know this means in not getting enough Water. This whole new life thing is hard

Why can you not keep things down suddenly?

I think dehydration is setting in. I know I'm not getting enough Water and I was dehydrated once before (pre surgery). I'm just sitting here now trying to down water

If you can get some Gatorade G2 (low calorie) it would really help with the dehydration. Or some Water with electrolytes in it. The gatorade saved me. About a few days after surgery, I woke up with a dry mouth and a headache. Got some gatorade and made it my mission to drink it every few minutes. I didn't want to end up in the ER on an IV bag. I hope you feel much better very soon :-)

You're welcome :-) hope you're feeling better now.

So, I thought I might have broke my stall. NOPE. I've been at or around the same weight for almost 3 weeks now. I'm following every single thing that my surgeon said to do. I called the Drs office to see what they suggest.

They just said it was normal. Blahhhh.

Also I'm cleared for exercise Monday Aug 5th. The nurse said no lifting heavy weights or strenuous workout or hard running on the treadmill because that can cause a hernia this early out from surgery.

Is anyone else still in the middle of a stall?? How long? And does anyone have some words of wisdom? I'm becoming really frustrated and want to see that scale move :-(

I thought I broke my stall too. Nope! 10 days at the same weight this far other than some minor ups/downs! It is depressing! I am still logging all foods, watching liquid and Protein intake and walking as often as I can. Hopefully it will move again soon!

I think I keep having mini-stalls, or maybe this is how it goes for me. It's inching down very slowly. Very. The weight definitely isn't just flying off.

I've been doing very light exercise. Maybe I need to step it up.

Ok im feeling frustrated at this point and a little disappointed. I woke up this morning emotional and discouraged. I think im doing everything im supposed to I get 70 to 90g of Protein in and walk just about everyday and the scale just will not move!! The whole point of me getting the sleeve was to start seeing some results from my hard work because pre op due to my thyroid issuse id do what I was supposed to with little to show for it! Now im even more focused and expecting to see results and nothing!! Sooo frustrating!!! Honesty im over it today...tomorrow is another day and I will try to maybe incorporate more exercise and Water intake... :-/....sorry just needed to vent!

I woke up feeling the exact same way! I stood on the scale this morning and prayed that it would move. Nothing. This has been about 11 days now. It is so depressing but my husband is ready to hide my scale from me! Ugh...

        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!

    • 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
