I feel weak and I can't keep anything down



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 12/15 and I am struggling to get my fluids and Protein in. Even when I take tiny sips I get bad reflux and nausea. I am weak as Water help does anyone have any suggestions?

I was sleeved 10/12 and I still struggle with this. I must remember to take my antacid every day or the acid reflux gets so bad I can't sleep and end up with it coming back up on me. If the dr has not prescribed you some I recommend taking this. It's been a necessity for me!! I also recommend logging your meals, I use MFP and this has been helpful for me to see where I need improvement and what foods are higher in Protein for me. Good luck on your journey and congratulations! Despite the minor issues, I am still so very glad I had this done!!

With the egg custard you can make it thinner.... so it is easier to keep down and you get some Protein in.... Sometimes the easier things are better try some Beans... any kind that sit well with you ...

Egg Custard.

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 25 mins
Total time: 35 mins
Serves: 6


1 cup milk
One 12 ounce can evaporated milk
4 large eggs
1/4 cup Splenda or 1/4 cup Truvia
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place 6 custard cups or ramekins in a large roasting pan and set aside.
Add the milk, evaporated milk, eggs, Splenda, and vanilla to the blender and pulse until smooth.
Pour into the custard cups and grate a generous amount of nutmeg over each one.
Pour enough hot Water in the roasting pan to come about halfway up the sides of the custards and bake 25 to 35 minutes, until just set in the center and are still a little jiggly. MAKE SURE YOUR CUSTARDS ARE SET BEFORE REMOVING FROM OVEN - oven temps and size of custard cups vary.
Carefully remove the custards from the Water bath, and transfer to towel to cool. Serve chilled.

No Pie, pumpkin Pie!

Ingredients

One 15-ounce can Libby's pumpkin purée
1/4 cup Truvia sugar replacer or ? cup Splenda granulated
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix the pumpkin, Truvia, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves in a large bowl.
Beat in the eggs.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
