the past five days have been no fun. I had to go to er and get fluids. I had a swallow test that showed blockage. then I had some scope done yesterday where he opened something up more. I'm still throwing up so I'm hoping that's just old stuff. ive been on liquid for 5 days although it doesn't bother me. this all has been difficult.

I know I am a worrier too and it does suck. In two weeks you'll be telling me the same things I'm telling you. Hell yesterday was my first day of Protein Shakes and one meal and and I've feel like crap and have some bad diarrhea and sweats. It's 63 degrees in my house and, my night gown is soaking from the sweat. I'm just saying that working yourself up isn't helping, deep breaths and keep in contact with your doctor. He'll get it figured out. Take care sweetie. I have erratic hours so I'm around at different(weird) hours. If you need to talk.

I haven't been able to keep any liquids down this weekend and now I'm back to throwing up the brown bile I had when I did have a blockage. I am calling the dr this morning. I wish they would admit me and figure this out. I was supposed to go back to work this week but now I'm dehydrated again :( horrible

@@Peace Love & Sleeve I think if you're not getting answers from your surgeon that are helping you should call your primary. This just does not sound right and you should trust your knowledge of yourself. I think you need to push this until it's resolved. It's gone on a long time. If it does turn out to be a small thing, so what, a little embarrassment. But if it turns out to be a big thing pushing til it's resolved will have mattered.

I just talked to my surgeon and he said I will get admitted this afternoon and get iv fluids and 2mrw he's going to do the scope with the balloon again to stretch it out but under more sedation. he said when he did it on Monday I was gaging so bad that they need more time etc

I was sleeved last Monday! One thing I wasn't was scared! It was my decision to have the surgery. I did a great deal of research prior to the seminar.

I'm not looking back, only forward!

Stay positive! Getting out of bed as soon as possible and walk, walk, walk! Helps tremendously!

Best of luck! We are here for you!

I was admitted Sunday for dehydration than yesterday they put another scope in to widen it. I'm at home again but my throat is raw, and everything is swollen. Please pray this works, otherwise he mentioned a feeding tube :(

I would really be careful eating anything you are not supposed to before its time. Doing that is a major cause for leaks. Even if you don't notice it right away. I am a manager at a doctors office and we have several patients who ate before they were supposed to and they developed leaks. You need to give your stomach time to heal around your staples.

I don't do fake sugars or stevia. This morning my Protein shake was greek yogurt. Isopure Protein powder, almond butter, cacao (unsweetened chocolate) powder. A little bit of Water to blend and ice to make it cold.

I mostly just play with favors I like. Fage 0% Greek yogurt plus Isopure naked whey Protein provides a good 30 - 38 gms of protein. It's not too thick because I use Water instead of milk. I ma vegetarian and have a lot of food allergies. Artificial food dyes & fake sugars are 2 of them. I use the Isopure because it's just plain whey protein. No added sugar or colorings. If I want to add sweetness I typically use raw honey.

      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
