I am 1 year post op. I still have nausea. I take Marinol, the active ingredient in marijuana. this works great. One pill befor eating prevents most nausea. However, I cannot drive. I have tried phenergan and of ran, both work but not as well. My nausea seems to be improving. I hope to get off of Marinol soon.

I never thought someone would not want to eat after surgery. How are you feeling now?

I am with you on the not wanting to eat. I am 5 weeks out & for the most part I have to force myself to eat my meals. I used to be a snacker & I have had none of that. I do have challenges with getting all my Water in too...stomach hurts if I drink too much so I just can't get it all in. I added a Protein drinking the morning to get 8 oz. in.

I'm 8 weeks postop and going through the exact same thing! Force yourself to eat ! Even if a bit still force it- I do it every single day! As for the drinking again I'm the same way. I'm in fact in contact with my dr every day to give them an update of how many oz I've drank. I've been facing dehydration - because I'm not drinking nearly enough & the drs are concerned! I totally feel your pain! {hugs}

It is so nice to know that I am not alone. I am 3 weeks post-op and thought I had horrible screwed up something. I go for my 4 week Ppt tomorrow and hope I can get something for nausea. I can't eat or drink anything.

I'm joining in... I'm not hungry or thirsty. I'm forcing my self to eat. I'm drinking 30cc of Water my pouch hurts right after. I took 2 chewables Vitamins & my pouch started hurting. When I ate the Popsicle my pouch was good. Please don't tell me I'm gonna live on Popsicle?

4 weeks post op and I can only get 1 can (35 oz) Protein and 25 oz of Water down a day. Just trying new methods of water. Decaf ice tea with Stevia, sf Popsicles, crystal light. Nothing is appealing but we gotta keep trying.

I don't want to eat anything either ...just the thought ! I tried Protein Shake yesterday and it was like a lead ball in my pouch. Today I tried some Protein Soup which was a little better but still heavy. I am getting very little protein but able to take all my Vitamins and Water. I love the Popsicles the best.

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

    • 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
