Hi Bariatric Buddies,

So im on day 5 and today i slept till 10am i have been very tired and my sleep was broken again and slightly restless. I got up and washed my face and made a Optifast shake and sat down to check forums.

I think i drank it too fast although it didn't feel like it but i do remember thinking "wow i have no issues drinking fluids at all they go down very easy" and about 15-30mins later i started to feel queasy and like maybe i had to pass a motion so i went to the toilet and sat there while waves of discomfort came over me and i felt very hot, sick, confused and foggy in the head.

It was a horrible feeling that lasted for about 20 mins or more and i felt weak had to get a chair bought in to lean over the back so i could relax and breath through it. Finally i had a lose bowel movement and then i felt better but very weak and shaky.

I laid down having sips of Water till i felt better then got on with my day with no more bad feelings. It was the most horrible thing to go through and ill never drink a shake fast ever again!!!

Other than the above event i am feeling fine and positive that each event is a learning opportunity for me and i got on the scales and they are heading in the opposite direction which makes me quietly optimistic :)

I hope everyone is well <3

Nin :)

After RNY gastric bypass surgery, the part of your stomach that process fats and sugars has been cut away. Therefore if you consume these, they will pass through your stomach and intestines and you will experience diarrhea. When I look at the ingredients of Optifast shakes.aspx" rel="external nofollow">https://www.optifast.com/Pages/products/optifast-800-ready-to-drink-shakes.aspx the second listed ingredient was SUGAR. I do not know if this is the version of Optimist that you are taking, but if it is, it is not an appropriate Protein shake to use.

I am 7 weeks out and I also dumped after drinking a Protein shake too fast. Really makes you slow down. lol The only other thing that made me dump was liquid tylenol. weird, I know. It def. is a learning process of trial and error. Take Care!

      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
