@@queensleever05 I have only been allowed clear fluids and I was sleeved on Mon 12/29 but my Dr also makes his pts do the full 14 clear liquid pre op. I have to have 96 oz of Water, crystal light, gatorade, broth, clear type Soups & Jello. It was HARD to even get 30 oz my 1st day home but managed each and every day to get better. It was probably bc of the long ride home and I was exhausted. I go to my 1st follow up on Tues and he will probably add Protein Drinks and POSSIBLY yogurt or cottage/ricotta cheese or something maybe. Doing everything he says though. What are you getting to eat?

I'm supposed to have 60 grams Protein a day and work on sipping Water, broth, propel, to stay hydrated. For protein I have yogurt with dry milk powder stirred in to make protein count higher. I have bean or split pea or potato Soup with dry milk to make protein count higher. Soup has to be put through blender first. Diet instant pudding made with skim milk and extra nonfat dry milk powder to make protein count higher.

  • queensleever05 I thought I had dumping last night. I had just finished some yogurt, I felt fine before having it and while eating it. Shortly after I felt dizzy, light headed, and then I felt sick to my stomach, threw up once, continued to feel nauseated and just not right for another 40-45 minutes. Is this dumping?

@@Karenlrn yes yes!! I wanted to throw up but felt if I did that it would be history after that and the throwing up wouldn't stop.. So I fault thru it!! I walked in circles until it was over.. But the thing is .. It was my fault.. I seem to forget sometimes that I just had surgery and pick up a spoon and eat. Today it was cabbage... Chugged down a half of tablespoon and almost sent myself to the hospital. It was stuck for at 45 mins and that foaming stuff , well I could feel it working on the cabbage and at the back of my throat . Never again!!! Omgosh! I walked and walked and had my loved ones rub my back... Nothing or almost an hour. And when it was over, I could still feel it for another hour after. Sheesh! But never again!

My dumping was kind of my fault too. I had yogurt with 8 g sugar instead of 6g or less. I didn't think it would make a difference but it did. I almost forgot about my surgery before but always seem to remember just before doing the wrong thing.

      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.
