Blah' date=' has anyone felt full and bloated for HOURS after eating? I'm worried something is stuck but Water is going down. I don't know. What do we do for that?[/quote']

There are some times that I do feel full and bloated after eating... Usually when I feel like that I use my incentive spirometer that they have me for clearing my lungs and that helps me feel better. I don't know how bad it is for you and if this would work.. But that is what works for me.

I've almost lost all the extra weight I put on in the hospital--it was about 8 pounds. It's not as exciting to lose those pounds. It feels like they don't count.

I say every pound counts!!! That keeps me positive! Losing is losing!

Has anyone else had issues with sleeping? Ever since surgery I'm waking up in the middle of the night.

I wake up several times in the middle of the night. I usually get out of bed and go to the bathroom at that point! LOL! I miss sleeping all through the night!

      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.
