Hi Anna! Don't let your post surgery emotions get the best of you! Your body just went thru major surgery, and it will take time for it to feel as it did before. In the meantime, it is trying to figure out "Where the heck did the other 3/4 of my stomach go? It was just right here! I hate when I can't find something I'm looking for!" and it is sending mixed messages to the brain. Five months from now you will be so excited over your new body that the memory of this past month will be replaced with thoughts of "Wow, I look HOT! What surgery?". LOL We are all here for you whenever you need us to get you thru the bad times! I'm sending you some hugs OOOOOOOOOOOO!

Have you called the doctor? They can prescribe something for the nausea. You should call ASAP. If you get too nauseous to drink your Protein shakes or Fluid you can end up dehydrated.

They'll likely give you IV fluids. Make sure you ask for prescriptions for anti-nausea and a good PPI.

Im at the hospital now

Me too, I've been in and out about 4-5 times since my surgery on 9/4. I regret my decision daily. I'm losing weight but I feel sick daily and never know how my body will respond to food or even Water. They send me home with meds and I end up right back. I pray the figure out what's going on this time. You're not alone!

It does get better and the sun will come up!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
