Hey everyone, I need some help. I haven't been able to keep anything down for a few weeks now and was recently hospitalized for dehydration. I try to get my liquids in as much as possible but because I'm constantly vomiting nothing seems to stay. I'm really getting worried. As much as I also try to get my Protein in I can only manage a couple sips a day. I was put on anti nausea medicine but it doesn't seem to help.

I get tired after minimal activity and need to sleep all of the time. I thought my Multivitamins and B12 was supposed to help combat that. Though I've lost 40 lbs I'm still kind of regretting this surgery. I feel like this isn't normal. Does anyone have any advice? I'm really at a loss here.

yes, my advice is to talk to your doctor

I have. He told me to go back on liquids and see if it gets better.

This is not normal and you need to be seen ASAP.

I saw my general practitioner today and she's sending me to my GI

I just need some advice on how to keep some sort of liquid down. I don't want to go back to the hospital. Has anyone else gone through something similar?

while the best advise should come from your surgeon, maybe space sipping Protein shake one sip every 5 min or so?

get some gatorade it will help with dehydration better than Water and go see your surgeon. Call their office and tell them what is going on.

I had this problem as well. It freaked me out and I was in and out of my doctors office. They said my pylori was narrow and it was a strain for things to get by it. I had to have a dilation for me to finally be able to eat and drink without the nausea and regurgitation feeling

It's when they put you under and balloon your opening to stretch it. I had to have it done. I was unable to get any broth or even Water after a while. I was waking up with stomach acid in my mouth every day. It was horrible. I was hospitalized for malnutrition. It made me regret everything until the dilarion, it really helped. I'm on the mend

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

        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
