Thanks! Lol. Tomorrow is upper GI at Albany Med and possible Scope if they can fit me in. Have appointment Friday for results.

Dehydration cause weakness, lightheadedness, dry mouth, confusion and so on. If your not drinking AT LEAST 30 ounces a day your body will also go into dehydration mode. I went one day at 22 ounces and got a little tiredness and had no clue till doctor told me I was dehydrated.

Jennie, are you out of ST Pete's yet? How do you know if you're dehydrated? Was it BC of the stomach thing?

Yes I am. Ugh it was awful. I was throwing up so much that my stomach was killing me I started to get very light headed. I fought with then not to admit me so after 4 bags they let me go but dr made me promise that if I got sick even once I had to go back. I have been good. Not eating much but drinking plenty. Now my poor lil boy 3 years old has it. I feel awful for him. dr said I would have never recovered on my own. I would have slowly gotten worse even if I was drinking it wouldn't have been fast enough I'm lucky I went. I hate hospitals lol. Thanks for checking in!!!

Feeling a little more human. Trying a couple different Protein choices: hard boiled eggs, Hormel chili with beans... and they all seem okay, in small doses. I want to get back to a little more activity, but I'm still feeling tired. Soon enough!

      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.
