So with all the trouble I've had in my first 6 weeks post-op (I've had really bad trouble with constantly throwing up) they originally put me omeprazole and said that should help with not throwing up and it started to work but then it stopped and the throwing up got worse, I was throwing everything up (except liquids) so I called the doctors again and they believe I actually have an Ulcer caused by the throwing up and that is why they think I'm now throwing everything up. So they are increasing the omeprazole and also putting me on some other med that suppose to coat the pouch to prevent foods from irritating the Ulcer and therefore causing me to throw up..... Let's hope this works or I'm going to go insane if I can't eat anything or if I have to go back to liquids yet again..... Please, Please let this work, I can't tell you how many times I regret my choice to have the surgery but I try to convince myself that it will all be worth it when I look at the scale or look in the mirror and see how much weight I've lost already (75 lbs total, and 45 lbs since the actual surgery).

Ok only thing about traveling that sucks is trying to judge three ounces of meat. I had no prob with the shrimp, but the chopped pork i think i ate too much because it was allot of discomfort. Never felt that so far since i weigh everything. So I guess i better get a grip in it because i won't be home until late Sunday and then turn around and do it all over again next Friday.

It seems like I hear that everyone starts getting sick about 4 weeks out...maybe I'm rushing my food too much. I really didn't feel sick from eating...actually woke up nauseous two days ago and it hasn't gone away. I'll do liquids 'til it passes.

        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.

      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
