I had a open cut gastric on the 6th.. I tried this week to lay onmy stomach but it hurt so I got off quick, same with my side. So back to the recliner for a while.

I hav felt a lil hungry so I try crunchy like popsicles or Peanut Butter, or peaches or pears..

How do u feel cause i'm still weak n bout pass out if I stand to long. I still hurt but everyday gets better. I gotta get past the weakness to walk around more. Just a shower wipes me out.

Hope this helps u.

Yes i've stated vitamins. Oh I no the feeling about going crazy. I am very energetic n i'm sure not use to my husband n daughter doing as much, plus they don't do it like me, but i'm grateful. I caught then gone n vacuum, my mother in law caught me n fussed, because I about passed out. So i'm trying to take it slow. Today is first day I've got to hi back to church i've missed that, i'm in pain but at least i'm pushing out. U take care keep in touch.

I just brought peaches to make a peach Protein Shake. You've got me scarred now. I threw up for the first two days home so I don't want to experience that again.

Faith did your Dr. Give u nausea medicine? When I through up it was just from motion sickness and the medicine helped tremendously. That's what that had me use in the hospital to because I would dry heave when I moved around. I hope u feel better!

I don't think it was the peaches. Because i've been eating peaches for a while n I did fine. I think it was the oatmeal that had me blocked n I just piled fluids on top of it then the peaches n that's wen it decided to come up. I really believe it was oatmeal.

      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.
