On the loosers bench, never knew a burp could feel so good. No real belly pain. Chest tightness and a massive headache

Anyone taking the gas-x strips... Do you start by taking the recommended 2 strips? Or are you taking 1strip?

I am taking them. I start with 1 and if I don't feel a change in 10 minutes, I get another

Haven't posted in several days. Been having a rought time. RNY 3/11/13. Lots of nausea. Trouble gagging down any Protein. Have not been able to get down any of my crushed meds. Pain is significant, although the liquid codeine helps. And the best part, liquid diarrhea. Copious amounts. They were going to readmit me but my sig other-22 years in the Army--said he could get the requisite liwuid into me. And he has, using his Army voice. So enough Water but not nearly enough nutrution. I really hope my bowels figure out what they are supposed to be doing soon, cause the constant diarrhea is a nightmare.

Gibby, I am so sorry you're having a rough time. I'm just on Clear liquids right now. I've not started any Protein yet. They gave me IV bag of Vitamins in the hospital. I have had quite a bit of diarrhea though. Keep taking little sips of fluids, but don't get dehydrated...if you are maybe being in the hospital getting some IV nutrition would make you feel better. I'll be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way. Hang in there :(

Post op, surgery was the 13th. Until today I felt like poop! Today is great. Went shopping a little and got a pedicure. I waited til after surgery for that because I couldn't have polish on during surgery. Tonight I am going out to eat with my family, rather going out to watch. My daughter is here with me from out of town and she has to get to go to her favorite restaurant while she is here. I am still on liquid diet for 4 weeks. Everyday really does get better!

On my way home from the hospital now. My daughter went and made sure I have Jello and pudding with Protein and banana ice cubes for my smoothies. So I am set for the night.

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • 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
