My potassium was low in the hospital. They gave me 6 bags I think before I left w/ the IV. Omg did it burn. I think if you get to the range where u really need it, you will get it

Congrats on your 3 months!!!!

When it's allowed on your diet, try eating a banana once a day. Lots of potassium. I've been treated for high blood pressure for years and since I was on a diuretic, had to take potassium. Since the potassium pills always made me nauseous I only took them once in a while and I ate bananas and my lab work always came back good.

I do too and it's HORRIBLE! I have to plug my nose and take it like a shot, and several times I gag it right back up. I have to take it until I'm 4 months post op.

Oh I know the feeling!! Sometimes my diamox gets stuck in my throat because I cut the pill in 4 and I keep drinking to get it down but then I've drank too much and my new pouch will either make me feel like I'm dumping( sweaty, hot, dizzy and nauseous.. Then the other day it happened and I felt like someone ripped my pouch out and couldn't catch my breath !! I thought I was gonna have to call 911... But about 30 minutes later it finally stopped!!

        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
