Surgery date - 10/1/2012

Today I am actually feeling the best I've felt since before the surgery. However I am not able to drink liquid Protein shakes, Jello and broth. Luckly my NP has approved for me try yogurt, cottage cheese, and split pea Soup. Yogurt and Soup is good how im still scared to try the cottage cheese. Total lost since surgery is 8 pounds. My last weigh-in was on Monday.

I have had a lot of not feeling well, I have been told it gets better with time. With everything your body has to adjust, I'm sure it will get better mine has.

My surgery was 10/1/2012 and I am so weak. My NP to me I need to get my Protein in however last night I tried cottage cheese and woke up with back pains and cramps and all I could do was cry. I want to get my required protein in so bad but i can't tolerate Protein Drinks anymore. Everyone says it gets easier but, WHEN? This is hell for me.

I'm so sorry, I wish I could say that it gets better but my surgery was after yours. Have you tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury? I will be thinking of you and hope you feel better soon!

Have you told your doc about this? You shouldn't be in that much pain all the time....maybe your stoma is to small or something happened. Better to check than be sorry....I still have pains when drinking if I get a little air or too much at once, it's so hard to push through and drink but you gave to, don't feel like a failure if your not getting all of your protein yet, it takes time. Just get as much in as you can and I found that cottage cheese was not for me. Try mixing your Protein powder in some unsweetened applesauce....it might help. I had my surgery 9/25 and it has gotten much better but I still struggle. I'm praying for you and that things get better for you.

Did they check your gallbladder again? My friend was having the same problem and come to find out that was the problem.

      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
