I know this is What I signed up for and that things will get better with time but I'm so sick ALL the time. I can't even think about getting in Protein cause the thought of protein makes me sick. Getting in Fluid is a struggle specially since plain Water makes me vomit. Can't wait till I start to feel normal again.

I am 4 days out and today started having what I believe are gas pains. They come about every 3 minutes then pass right across the top of my stomach so I'm a little worried. I can't lay on my side or stomach which is what I'd normally do so anyone have suggestions? Is this normal?? Please help :(

Having the same problem and it's been a month for me. I haven't been happy either. On top I'm only losing 1lb a week.

Eating too few calories can prevent weight loss. I am in the same boat but just congratulate myself when no have a good day and try to remember this is a learning curve. Crying also helps Lol

try nectar flavorless in water with crystal light. There's barely any taste, maybe a slight scent of the powder but that may help from the sweet shakes

yes. Gas strips. Two at a time, one after another and it helps. Burp burp burp. I started feeling them in my shoulder. Took a good three days for them to work them all out. Hang in there!

Day 16 and I'm just over it !! I just want to be able to go out with my family for Mother's Day tomorrow. I know it's not true but right now I feel like I will never be "normal" again. I can't even think about food, I kind of hate everything :( This is my 3rd surgery and by far the hardest !!

I hear ya. I just wanted to take my mom.put to my fave food places and couldn't and felt so defeated but that's how I got here, place so much emphasis on food. We will eat again...soon Lol n

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
