I took a walk with my chihuahua last night and he got tired first! Little brat just sat down- like he was saying just carry me. Lol! I cant stoop and pick him up yet tho. We were standing in the street having a little argument. Finally got him to walk home with me. So I think treadmill is what I will have to do. That way he can sit in his blanket and sleep. :D

I was sleeved on July 31. I did really well w my surgery, food progression to this point, pain, etc. except...I got overheated a couple of days and now I have heat exhaustion. It is reallllly hard to get ahead of when you can only sip water...I'm curious...how long does it take you to drink 4 or 8 oz of liquid at this point. Maybe I am being too cautious??? I don't want to spring a leak!

I have had problems with drinking. It doesn't take me long at all. Drink at whatever pace you are comfortable. What did your doctor say?

Hmmm...I really haven't had problems drinking...I am just having trouble I guess, with my own mental picture of what my sleeve can hold. I really need to be chugging Water at this point...and these sips through out the day are making it hard to recover from heat exhaustion...

I guess I am having a hard time asking my question...am I going to cause a leak drinking 8 oz, then 8 oz, then 8 oz...I need to be continually guzzling at this point and am not sure how long it takes my stomach to empty?

Oh, and I was at dr yesterday, and left with plenty of instructions about how to make sure I was getting my water/fluids, worry more about fluids and Protein right now as opposed to diet, etc and I drank, drank, drank, albeit a little slowly...and it wasn't until this am my symptoms seemed a little better...and now they are coming back...it's kind of hard to get caught up Fluid wise-once you get behind! Watch out for high heat, folks!

I can drink 8 oz in like 15 minutes. I was sleeved 7/29. I don't have to sip much I can almost take a normal drink and it doesn't hurt at all. I can easily get my fluids and Protein in finally.

I was sleeved on the 31st also and I drink approximately 12-20 oz in an hour. I always was a drinker of fluids before my surgery as well though.

I try to look at it as getting rid of fat cells. That is an idea however by 7 I still need to drink 20 oz.

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

        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.

      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
