I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this...I'm almost 6 weeks post op. I've been doing fantastic with everything...vitamins, fluids, eating and walking however about a week ago I lost all appetite and want to eat or drink. Just taking my Vitamins is a struggle. I feel full or bloated no matter what little I eat or drink. I've been exhausted the entire time but so much more now. I had to get iv fluids yesterday and I'm pretty much back to fluids only per dr focusing on milk and shakes. I feel like I was doing so well and took a step back. My anxiety has been heightened this week bc I'm scared of going backwards. I'm tired all the time and force myself to get up an do things only to have to sit/lay down after a while. Anyone else? If so, what did you do to help get out of it. I know I'm emotional and questioning doing this only bc of how I physically feel at the moment.

Did your dr do a barium swallow to make sure nothing is going on? Its prob just your body trying to slow you down

I did the swallow test after surgery and all was clear. I've also had an MRI because of something they found during surgery which ended up being ok. I'm not actually throwing anything up just things are sitting heavy and I'm full for hours after. I had 1/4 c of light Soup for lunch and was full for hours.

        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
