After that fainting scare, I haven't tried to cheat once! I'm scared to feel that again.

I had been struggling to be honest and I'm glad I wasn't alone I ate a pretzel fortunately I didn't get sick it was driving me insane and making me so depressed I'm over it but I can't wait to get to the "baby food" phase so I won't feel cheated this is is so rough

I've really been doing pretty good, feeling wise and as far as getting my requirements in. However, I made a milk and Protein Shake and froze it like a sloppy ice cream tonight. Was pretty yummy, but I'm pretty sure I ate it to fast! Didn't realize it at the time, but did the whole cup in like 20 min. Oops! Now I'm super nauseous. Took some of the nausea meds the doctor prescribed and hoping it passes quickly.

So excited and nervous! Is anyone else having surgery on my date? I would like us all in one thread to give our own experiences. It'll be great! We will all be in pain at the same time.

I had mine on the 25th! New to this app! I'm struggling to get my fluids in.. I feel very full

Also, am I the only one, or is anyone else extremely frustrated being a grow up woman/man and pooping their pants?!?! Twice today. I'm beginning to wonder if they have me on too many laxitives/stool softeners.

What's your stats...you know, age, weight, height, goal?

I'm 52, 225, 5' 5" pushing for 140 but I realize I'm 52 and don't need to necessarily get all the way down to 140. I'm getting RNY

I was suffering big time from gas. I took a tablespoon of milk of magnesium. My gas is gone and I had a BM. If gas is what's keeping you from consuming liquids, you should consider some milk of magnesium. It helped me a lot! I was suffering so much. Today I managed to consume 42 ounces of liquid and I still have 2 hours before bed. Everyday it gets better.

I want to give a shout out to all of us with surgery this week...we are awesome! We are making it through a holiday eating nothing! I am so proud of us. Just think ahead to the 4th of July and where we will be size wise and what we can eat.

I was able to get all my Protein in and liquid. I went to the pool with my kids and got some sun on my face...of course I didn't dare get in. I am feeling pretty good. I have a follow up with my doc Tuesday and hopefully will be cleared to go back to work! @@Lana R I hope you get to feeling better. Maybe try a different temperatures for your liquid. I love Water but since surgery it doesn't like me.

Nope you are not the only one... I was not on laxatives but still had that happen to me, I thought I was going to pass gas and well... It wasn't gas... Was not fun! Can't trust the farts!

Yep, exactly. I'm in the bathroom yelling for my 14yr old daughter to find me clean underwear. Luckily I don't embarrass easily, but it is not fun in the least. Gonna give it the weekend and then call my doctor if it's no better.

        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
