Peachee, I hear you! Hope you feel better.

I'm siting here in the hospital after my second surgery. I had an intestinal stricture. What a bitch. I was SOOO sick. Nothing would stay down. Horrible gas pains since nothing would stay down. Feeling better now but wow I wish I hadn't done this over the last 24 hours. Hoping things pick up now.

Heather I am so sorry. I hadn't checked much yesterday. I hope you are better, Sending you prayers and positive thoughts.

Gentle hugs my friend

Hi family. I just wanted to check on everyone. I've been very quiet. It's been rough for me starting out. A cold' date=' then thrush, and my picky pouch has issues with the antibiotics. My poor hubby is so worried. I'm sad with a little buyers remorse but I expect that will change when I'm back to feel better. I dislike being sick. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

I hope all is well. Congrats to any new post op family we have. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Dotted nails:

I have had the same issue with all of the rumbling in the stomach, my doc says its pretty normal and I have found that I needed a bowel movement to make it go away. I am now eight days out and find its a little better but still present occasionally. Keep up the great work!

Tstark: I had surgery Monday and the second was yesterday. I'm feeling pretty good. Rey said it was an easy but critical fix.

Head Hunger ugh! Love that! I too have that. I actually have to ask myself if I'm really hungry. So weird! I've also been going through a bit of depression but I'm getting out of the house so that helps. My surgery date was Nov 19 and I'm down 20lbs. Getting anything down is really hard. But I'm hopefully and I keep trying:)

Omg y'all my stomach is hurting SO bad!!! I've never felt this ever! Like something is stabbing and ripping up to my chest!y mom had gastric two years ago and she says something's stuck or won't go down, the only thing I ate today was mootopia milk and raspberries with cottage cheese, I felt bad all day but this is horrible now, I've been hacking and practically throwing up foam for 30 minutes, it tastes like raspberries?!?! Gross I know, but I was wondering if anyone who's gone through this has any tips?! I'm 19 days out. :(

Amanda, it maybe the raspberries. The seeds can be very irritating and you are not that far out. Are you ok now? I'd do liquids for a day to settle your pouch and call the dr if you are still sick. ((((Hugs)))))

        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!

      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
