I am new here - plication surgery!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone...I had plication done on 3/21, I'm down 8.5 lbs down one week out. The doctor warned me the weight loss would be slow so I'm fine with that; but, he said I wouldn't be hungry and I feel like I could eat a horse!!! I had a rough few days after surgery (hospital for 4 days) due to nausea and vomiting but now I am hungry. I am doing my Protein Shakes 3-4 times a day and I'm on the full liquid diet for 2 more weeks and then can start soft foods....any ideas on what I can have that will fill me up?!

I'm on the same boat as you, I had like done on the 26. I had some nausea but nothing major, and I go on soft foods on Friday.

But for me the hardest part since surgery has been the major hunger pains, there more like contractions. They are driving me insane and won't let me sleep!

It's been so bad that I end up breaking down in tears thinking what did I get myself into! I even feel like I wish I could literally put my hands in my tummy and undo this!

:/

Hopefully it gets better, and soon :*(

Lol sorry I was asking M, just because I experienced what I thought were hunger pains when my prescribed Antiacids ran out.

      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
