get some gatorade G2 or Powerade zero to help keep your electrolytes balance and be sure to get 60 ounces of fluids in per day - that is vital - all the time from here on out - but especially at the beginning when so many changes are going on. I drank powerade zero through the first month because my stomach had a hard time with accepting plain Water. Eventually that got better....it all does - so hang in there - take care of yourself - each day will get easier.

Severe abdominal cramping! !

Did cat scan no answers everything looked great...so why am I cramping??? They are assuming its because I can't seem to get my bowels to move :-(

Days later still fighting the battle. Keep your head up just a bump in the road!!

I was told that room temp Water is the way to go but now I'm 3 days shy of one month post op and I am drinking cold Water at the gym and keep a 24 oz glass of ice and water with me at all times. We are all different so it's really all you can handle. Good luck.

I'm 6 days post op and went to ER last night with dehydration. I got 2 bags of IV Fluid and felt great after.

It has been so hot here and so hard to drink constantly! But I'm doing the best I can by making sure I drink at least 8 oz/hour. It's been real frustrating for me as well since I'm actually realizing the depth of my food addiction having been on liquids for 3 weeks 1 of which has been Clear Liquids.

I'm still very proud that I have stuck with it and I still believe this will work and I will be happy in the end.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
