???? Calling all March Sleevers....let's support each other!????



Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm new to the forum and am having my surgery on March 9th in Texas.

I'm both very excited and nervous about all the changes to come.

I saw someone mention their head hurting while starting the pre-op diet. Is this normal? My head has been hurting as well, but I'm a little sick so I assumed it was because of that. I know I'm hydrated enough, I'm drinking Water non-stop essentially.

Glad im not the only one. I'm very well hydrated but this headache has me balled up on the couch. No lights, no tv, no reading. Just in to much pain. I do have chronic headaches but this one is different. Constant sharp stabbing kill me now pain.

A little nervous about that but not really because I know 2 people that have gone to the same surgeon, no complications and positive results. Hoping for the same outcome.

Apparently, the headaches are completely normal... from our bodies withdrawing from food. (At least, thats how the surgeon's asst explained it when i mentined my headaches at my pre-op appt.)

Today was the first day of my pre-op diet and my head is killing me- I hope it only lasts 3 days, this is the worst!

I am starting day 3 of the liquid diet and both yesterday and today I have woke up at 3 am with horrible headaches. I do suffer Migraines but as someone else said, these are different. To this point I haven't really been hungry, just tired early in the evening. I hope the headaches go away and the Vitamins kick in so I won't crash so early. Just ready to have Monday here and over.

      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.
