Drinking Water is hard for me

I also had a hard time drinking water. Now, 6 weeks in, it is getting better. Even drinking milk or Protein Shakes went down smoother than water.
I can hardly drink water. My nut said to try cold tea, and I've gotten more than 50 oz the past two days.

I was sleeved June 25th and am down 40 lbs since my preop appointment June 8th Kinda of wish it would come off faster so I have started moving more.

I reached my 1st goal of having my weight in the 200's instead of 300's pretty pleased with that!

Just ended my first stall. It wasn't long but hard mentally. Sleeved June 8th. Total weight loss 79lbs, post op 55lbs. I had a few pics of lettuce with my meal tonight, never thought I would miss lettuce! It was so good!

School started today, so my washing and activity is crazy high.

Lost 33lbs since surgery June 16th. Depressed because my hair has now started to fall out. I know it only hair and that it'll grow but I try hard to get my Protein in, take Biotin and using Nioxin products and it doesn't even slow down the process. Feeling bummed today :-(

I think your weightloss is pretty good. I was sleeved on June 8th and I have only lost 37 pounds including the 2 week pre-op diet and it looks like I may be entering my second stall. I try to only weigh once a week but I peeked a couple of days early and I was up 1.5 pounds (eek!). So far my hair hasn't started falling out that I have noticed but I have very thick hair so it may be hard to tell.

its really depressing. Don't get me wrong I'm so glad that I had the surgery it's just my hair is thin to begin with.

Awesome! Great job! My one-month appointment got pushed back by a few weeks because of a family emergency, so my 3-month isn't for another month yet.

      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.
