Oh I'm glad you posted this! I haven't tried them post Op. My tummy is so sensitive. Plus I'm not a fan of vomiting. I feel like I'm the only one on here that isn't jumping for joy. My tummy still aches after 10 days. My doc says it's the nerves, but I'm so sick of taking the medicine they gave me. It puts me into a deep slumber. Although I do like that, but I feel like my life is slipping away.

Please just try to get in your Protein, Even if it is just your Protein Drinks. DO NOT try protein SHOTS.. to me they tasted like PUKE anyway, I bought a case, and they are still in refrig after 2 years in garage,,, Slow down and get in all the Water and Liquid Protein that you can.....

I'm doing pretty good tag past few days. 60g's and plenty of fluids. Thanks for your concern. I just wish the random pains would disappear. I'll live. :-)

I am battling pain on my right side when I lay down. I haven't been able to sleep and finally put the two together and realize I'm moving in my sleep and the pain in waking me up.

I really thought the pain was pretty much over and this just started about three days ago.

Thank you for clarifying what is happening. I've been trying to look back and figure out what I did wrong. Now I will just keep looking forward!

I was nauseous until I hit three weeks out from surgery. Keep taking your meds, and all of a sudden you will feel better one day.

I throw up when I take my meds :( I am feeling horrible, 2.5 weeks out.

valky - Maybe call your surgeon's office and speak with a nurse. I was able to keep my meds down. Take care.

I have learned that if I hold my breath during the whole time I'm taking my liquid pain medication, swallow quickly then swish Water around in my mouth and spit it out I do better. The smell is what gags me. I do the same if in drinking something I can smell the Protein in, which makes me gag too. Smell is a huge factor for me. I'm hyper sensitive. Again I don't breath during the whole time until I think most of the taste is out of my mouth. I hope that helps.

I was sleeved on 9/16, and I have lost 50lbs total. I have much more to lose than many of you, I think that's why it's going faster. I am SURE it will slow. Doctor said the first few months would be the fastest.

Enjoy the ride! I'm sure 50lbs. Can still be felt. I have not weighed myself since my Post Op appt last week. I only lost 2 lbs.:-(. He said to not worry. I had lost 27 in the month prior to surgery. I'm noticing my lounge pants going further and further up my waste. Lol. Celebrate your wins! You deserve to regardless of your starting weight. :-). Congratulations!!! We've taken drastic measures to get our health back regardless of our preOp weight. Best to you!!!!

        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
