Hello Everyone' date=' Surgery date: 27 Oct 13. HW: 350 SW: 345 CW: 329 Getting worried now as cannot drink Water anymore. It is such a struggle. Feel full all the time. Eating is a struggle too. I have a fear of vomiting. Any suggestions / advice? Most welcomed. Help!!!![/quote']

My surgery was 10/21 and I am having similar problems- the first week was Clear liquids and I really struggled- Water really hurts and all the flavored waters too- mostly survived on broth and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup flavor. Supposed to be on full liquids this week- so ff milk, pudding, Greek yogurt got added in, but I have relly struggled to get much down- premiere Protein drink usually does ok...feels like everything just stays right in my throat! But I have vomited several times now, and it didn't hurt much, and there's not much there to throw up. Oh yeah, I have to burp all the time too. I realize this isn't of help to you, but you are not alone ! Try the broth to get ur fluids in, warm seems better on my swallowing.

For those struggling with Protein remember hydration is most important the first couple of weeks. Your body will use your glycogen stores before using any protein. By then you should have an easier time of it. Just get as much as you can thru Protein Drinks. I find the lite muscle milk is the easiest to tolerate and room temp is easier on the new tummy. It will get better!

      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.
