Fabulous February Post-Op's



Recommended Posts

Slow learner, I guess:

I have finally figured out that the minute a bite of food feels the least bit uncomfortable, I have to stop eating until the pain stops. And if it doesn't, my meal is over.

Having figured this out, I learned that the first bite of just about anything that isn't still pureed hurts a little. If I wait 5-10 minutes, I usually can finish my meal at a more normal pace and everything feels fine and stays down. I wonder why *starting* to eat is so uncomfortable, but whatever. I can live with this. At work it's been amazing. I was so afraid of criticism, but 99% of people have been supportive, complimentary, etc.

DAMN it feels good to lose weight!!

QUESTION. Thursday evening at dinner I thru up eat 1 once Talapia baked a couple pieces broccoli and cheese this is my first time getting sick but since then the only thing that doesn't make me fell sick is Greek yogurt and I'm drinking nectar fruit Protein my stomach feels really queazy I just tried some cream of potato Soup could only eat about 3-4 bites and my stomach started hurting should this be something to worry about or just stay on liquids dr says Im on full foods but I just haven't eat much

Did you throw up the fish only or all of it? Maybe you have an issue with cheese? Maybe broccoli being a tougher veggie your not ready for? Was the tilapia breaded?

I hate Protein Shakes, gag a maggot!! But I have found something I like! Syntax nectar lemonade mixed with crystal light lemonade and the crystal sky mixed with crystal light fruit punch. So yummy! And not milky or thick. They are like juice.< /p>

As long as you're tolerating fluids I would probably just watch it for a couple days and stick with a very bland liquid diet. If you can't keep fluids down, are having a lot of pain, or continue getting sick I'd call my doc for sure!!!

      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.
