Recommended Posts

Hi all!!! Had my surgery 9/17 and all has been well. Not much pain at all but today I'm finding a feeling of maybe fullness with my Protein Shake for Breakfast? Maybe I drank too fast.

I did has a day or so of nausea but the pills worked. I'm not able to tolerate Water straight but I have it mixed with a bit of g2 and that works.

I had my first bm yesterday and it was rock hard so I'm going to get some milk of mag today and see if that helps me.

For the most part all is good.

Great news so glade your doing well

I am hearing you I constantly feel like I am sticking stuff in my mouth.. I keep a sipper bottle with me but boy oh boy it's hard. I don't get the full amount that's for sure

I am 5 days post op today. I had a bit of anxiety because I'm struggling to get my Protein in and I'm feeling very weak. I'm going to try mixing my shakes with Water and having a cup of Tomato Soup made with milk and some v8 juice to get some Vitamins in. See if that makes me feel better. I know this is a normal reaction to this phase but it's not something I prepared for.

I just actually spoke to my surgeon about the same thing, you can actually buy Protein that's not like a powder and used in Water. The name slips my head but I am going to the sports and diet shop to get some this week. I will add this to my fluids

I hope you are feeling better soo

      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.
