Ugh...super super super bad day...work was horrible...hurting tonight. ..not getting my Protein and Water in. Scared to death I am going to end up malnourished and dehydrated. Hormones all over the place...could cry on command...just needed to vent...love you guys...going to bed

I'm having a bad day today too!! Didn''t get enough water & protein in yesterday, so headache & no energy today! Trying to make up for it today but it isn't easy! Sending you hugs & hopefully tomorrow will be better!
I had my first headache today. It was horrible. Hope you feel better.

I'm having a rough time with this post op liquid diet. On top of me being nauseous all the time nothing that I can have sounds appealing so I sometimes just don't eat, which I know is wrong. I am getting all my Water in and taking all my Vitamins. I'm basically just counting down the days until puréed foods. Sigh.

I'm also having extreme problems getting sips in. Feels so tight and causes LOUD tummy and intestine rumbles. Thank goodness I don't have to be in public.

Also scared of being undernourished and dehydrated.

Luckily all of you do better each day.

Hey y'all. I'm home and doing okay. Sore and gassy, but alive and well. I'm happy.

I'm off my diabetic meds and my blood pressure meds. If everything stays as it is now, I'll stay off of them. Going back for my follow up on Nov. 9th.

Hey everyone I had my 3 week follow up today, my surgeon was so happy with my numbers today. I have lost 20 pounds since my surgery date and finally had my staples removed (ouch). Incision sites are a little sore but he says I'm healing beautifully. I was bummed out when I seen I had only lost 20 pounds but seeing how happy the surgeon was made me rethink my mentality. My husband says I'm too hard on myself. Maybe I am. All I know is I'm happy if the surgeon is happy. Only bad part about the appt was I'm still in the liquid phase for another 2 weeks but after today I know if I can do it for 3 weeks, I can do another 2.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day, and for anyone who had a follow up today I hope it was great!

I had RNY on 10/20, and I was hoping my belly swelling would have been better by now. I'm passing gas okay, but I look like I'm 6 months pregnant. LOL. I have my 2-week follow up next Weds. Is it common to still look bloated?

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for the sweet comments. It was a much better day today. I was able to get in almost 40 ounces of Water and 42 grams of Protein . I know this is still not goal but it is soooo much better then I have been doing! The encouragement from this group helps me each and every day!

      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.

      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.
