Same here, can't stand broth! I'm no where near 64oz but enough to keep me hydrated. I've been fine until last night, my stomach is really sore and it feels like my whole body is vibrating. I feel really tight in my entire abdominal cavity. I'm sitting now with a heat pack on my whole stomach and sipping some hot tea, hopefully that will help.

The pain from that post passed and I have been fine for the past few days. Still a bit tired but I've been able to do some chores, errands and keep up with the kids. Usually needing a nap each day but that'll get better too.

Hope you're feeling better too!

Had surgery on August 27th, spent one night in hospital. I admit that I was unbelieveably miserable for the first 2 days, but I improved very quickly after that. (I have fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease affecting my back) Lost 10 lbs pre-surgery, 17 lbs in the 2 weeks since. 4 inches from my waist!!

I can feel cool items go through my stomach, really weird! I keep Water next to me all day and sip a little at a time - but still only getting about 48 oz, but it is increasing.

I am ready for something better than broth!! I am soooo sick of broth... Get to start soft foods today and I have to start worrying about Protein.

VST date 8/27/13

Sorry to hear that Kelly. I am doing ok now. Spent the first three weeks in and out of hospital for dehydration due to swelling. Weight was going up and down during that time but steadily going down now

Hang in there Teeny. My problem seems stupid compared to what you've been thru. I hope you're past the rough part now. Take heart, Soon your children will know the best You!

Kelly thank you for your kind words. Every once and awhile i get that twinge of regret but i keep saying it can't be this bad forever. Still having a hard time with keeping things in and definitely not getting anywhere near enough fluids

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
