Hi. I had my surgery at OLOL in br. I'm 2 weeks and 3 days post op. Down 23lbs. I'm trying to stay hydrated bc I'm on verge of being dehydrated. I can hardly drink Water it just doesn't go down well. Trying crystal light and Powerade zero. Hoping it all goes well. How are u?

Wow!! You are doing AWESOME! I'm only down 20.5 lbs since surgery. I have trouble with getting my fluids in, too. I use Crystal light, too and I've been on Plexus Slim since Aug. (lost 18 lbs pre-op.) I would rather have the satisfaction of food than be hydrated. I know that's wrong, but my issue is that I equate food with socializing, and feel left out. :-/. At my 3 wk visit, I was told I could have whatever is tolerated. Who did your surgery?

Dr. Leblanc. And who did urs? Where did u have it? I just started puree stage past Tue. Not all things are tolerated and not very much either lol. I know that's how supposed to be but still so wierd to me that 7 bites can fill me up. Today I skipped my Protein and trying drink 32oz Powerade 0. I'm so scared to be back in hospital dehydrated.

Dr. Hausmann, OLOL. Isn't LeBlanc in that group? Are you eating the sugar free Popsicles? That helped me a lot with hydration.

Yes I think so. Yes I can eat popcicles and ice but just Water won't go down easy. I'm praying for this all to line out quickly bc i ts making me crazy lol. I don't throw up just queasy feeling.

Have you always had a problem drinking plain Water or just since the surgery. I seldom drink plain water-- always add my plexus or crystal light. And I'm a tea addict.

I am in Denham Springs. I was sleeved July 8th..and I am down 57 lbs. I am about 15 to goal. Dr. Bellinger did mine.

That's super! I was 256 in May, 235.5 pre-op and I'm 215 now. My goal weight is 135.

I am loving the Splenda add-ins at Sonic. I get the Route 44 unsweet tea with mint and mango add ins ( sounds gross, but it's so good!). I wish I had gone to Woman's. Wasn't crazy about OLOL, but Dr. Hausmann and his staff are great!

      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.
