So I'm two weeks post op and I just started back to work yesterday and it was absolutely miserable. I work as a customer service agent for geek squad in best buy and I was so exhausted by the end of my 5 hour shift I almost fell asleep in the car on the way home! Lol... I was also having like cold sweats and nausea....then about ten minutes till the end of my shift I went in the bathroom and threw up! It was pretty sad. As if all of that wasn't enough...after work I went and got myself a small sugar free slurpee...I was hot and I wanted just a little treat...I knew I wouldn't drink the whole thing anyway...well I walked in the front door of my house and the first thing I do is trip over my 100 pound Great Dane... I went flying...and spilled slurpee all over me! So here I was just rolling around on the floor covered in slurpee...crying and my dog didnt even notice what had happened! She's such a freaking moose! Lol. Anyway...that's my story...bad times all around!

Sucks that's you took a spill pun intended. That slurpee is carbonated and might have made you miserable at only two weeks out.. Rest up keep hydrated.. Oh and get your Protein in that will help with your energy levels.. Welcome to the sleeved side.. My boyfriend also works for Geek Squad he's a double Agent.. I'm Surprised you didn't take anymore time off Best Buy has awesome benefits..

Sorry to hear about your day - maybe you had the spill for a reason... I'd stick to Water or crystal light/generic if possible, for a wee while yet. Hope your days get better

Hope you feel better soon! Maybe just an off day. Have you been staying hydrated? I think your great dane did you a favor. I bought a SF 7 up slurpee about 3.5 months post op and it was the only and only time I was horrificly sick post op. I was doing work on site for a client and literally ended up in the bathroom off and on for about 3 hours. It was a nightmare! I will never drink a SF slurpee again. LOL.

        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
