Hi Guys,

I went from feeling absolutely human to today were I feel absolutely horrible. I feel nauseated and weak. I'm trying to get Water down me. I have no desire to 'eat' and drink today but I'm making myself. I'm 12 days post op. Anyone ever gone backwards? Is this normal?

sorry today is a bummer of a day :wacko:

i don't think two (2) people can have the same "normal"

what might be going on for you always - could be very different from someone else

but both are normal/right for the individual

nausea/weakness are both common/"normal" feelings for many

you are very early post op

the good thing about your bad days.....

you have experienced good days follow

you are sooooo early PO, different days you will have ups and downs

what are you eating at 12 days PO?

you are on soft foods??

you are already feeling nausea

be careful how you drink

sip sllllowy, take a few breaths/breaks

"forcing" yourself to drink is good

especially the necessary Protein drinks

drink as much Water as possible too

drinking too fast is not good

and if you rrrrreallllly feel like you might get sick

pushing/forcing is one thing

but cleaning up "water vomit :blink:" yech!!

you will eventually find YOUR normal

feel better sooner than later

good luck

kathy

Hi @@facebro29,

I'm also 12 days post op and I definatley have great days and bad ones so far. Two days ago was awful. Weak, nauseous and just yucky all over. I was literally in bed at 5pm when my husband came home. Then yesterday I hit an upswing and felt great, and gots lots of things done! Are you having a hard time getting the protien shakes down without feeling sick? I know I am. And when I don't drink them I suffer from the same weakness you are describing.

Hang in there. I think we will be moving towards more great days than bad ones soon. :)

I'm still on liquids and sick of them now. I start puréed foods on Tuesday and so looking forward to it. I thought I was past the yucky, tired blah feeling but I guess I'm not.

I have been walking loads the last few days but today can't get out of bed to walk. Hope tomorrow will be better. Thanks for you input guys. Just going to have an in bed and Netflix day today.

I'm 13 days post op today. The same with me. Some days I'm getting in my fluids great and I feel pretty good. Other days not and I feel really tired and yucky. It was like that yesterday. I just didn't want to be bothered and did not get half my fluids down. I'm glad to see it's not just me. Things will get better for both of us.

Living life like it's golden! A change is coming!!!!

Remember your hormones are changi g everyday and there is a great deal of internal healing going on. The gases in your stomach will change daily as well for a while. I'm 5 weeks out and every day is a little different. If concerned call your doctors office

        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
