Crystal Light fruit Punch has been my savior. Plain Water tastes weird to me now. I used to love to chug water. :'(

I am so sorry you are having another issue with your baby.

Thanks Mel3620, I did it to myself, yesterday, I didn't chew correctly, food got stuck and made me sick the rest of the day, this morning im able to hold down the meds and Water. However, I'm having some discomfort in the bottom of my stomach, I'm going to pump liquids today and see if that helps. I hope you're feeling good.

I went through this' date=' and still some things taste nasty. Just keep trying different things. I have come across a few Protein Drinks I can handle again, but it took a few weeks.[/quote']

I'm so glad to hear it's not just me. I will just keep going!! :-)

I am doing pretty good. I had an incident on Saturday night. It was my first real party since having surgery, and although I didn't go as crazy as I would have before surgery... Herman was still not happy with me! I was miserable for part of the night, but after I was able to throw up... much better! I don't know if I just ate too many different things or it was that last piece of chicken tender. (It was a little dry)

Since I have been back to work, my insides are gurgling like a leaky pipe! I'm thinking of calling my reroute "Chatty Patty"! I'm trying to be really careful about swallowing air when I drink and not drink to fast. Any suggestions???

Yeah, that last piece will get us every time. I spoke to my nurse this morning, He fussed at me, gave me a tongue lashing, lol and then he put me on liquids and pureed food for the next 2 to 3 weeks, Damn....he said my stomach is a little tighter than most, that I have to give it chance to stretch without the added drama.

      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.
