Having a Hard Time



Recommended Posts

Okay so the past few days have taken a toll on me. I can barely get in my Protein and Water. My stomach tightens up after a few sips and it's quite painful. I've been sipping for the past few days. I have no energy to do anything. I am able to get my Vitamins and supplements. I ordered Unjury and it will be here tomorrow. I got Mocha, chicken Soup, vanilla, and a couple packets of strawberry sorbet. My doc recommended it as it is not as thick as regular Protein Shakes and he also said that I should be drinking whey protein isolate, not concentrate. The scale hasn't moved since my last loss. I try not to weigh everyday but you know how that is lol. I promised myself that I won't weigh again until next Wednesday. I had my sleeve done Oct 30th, a little over a week ago. My doc said to give it one more week and I should be on track since my body is still healing. What do you guys think? Any advice? Comments? Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Take a deep breath - that's how I remember it feeling too. Sounds all very normal. If you get dehydrated go get IV fluids. Sip sip sip. I had a little shot glass of beverage with a goal to finish it in 15 minutes. It was work to drink at first.

I found that warm herbal teas went down easier than Water.

It's so hard but jt will get easier

Your stomach is sill mad at you. Doc is right, it will come around. The Protein and Water quota is in an ideal world. Your angry tummy does not think the world a happy place at this juncture and is oppositional defiant. It will soon come to grips with reality and embrace the fact that sleeveworld is the new normal.

I also had surgery on Oct. 30 and having a very hard time, I cannot get in all the liquids. Feeling very weak and tired, I am down almost 20 pounds since surgery. I did wake up this morning feeling a lot better. Hoping I can get in the liquids today.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
