Still fighting nausea so bad! Every single time I try to sit,stand or get one drop of fluids on my stomach I'm fighting not to vomit. I have had a rough start with this. If I can't get myself better I'm going to ask to be admitted to the hospital and if my stomach does not adjust to where I can drink this band is coming out! MISERABLE!

Hang in there. It may be post op swelling but you may need to go to emergency to be checked out and hydrated

The first week was not good but now 7 months on 25kg lighter. So worth it but perhaps ring your surgeon for advice

Hi. Sorry to hear you are going through it... after what I just went through, I have to share.. I am on post op sleeve day 6 & was miserable for the first 3 days. I couldn't even open my mouth or eyes without dry heaving... hard. ugh. I had to have IV fluids w/ 2 anti-nausea meds & a patch behind my ear & wet wash cloths on my forehead to make me not want to puke. I was hospitalized for 5 days because after they did a CBC on me (& from what I remember,) I was told my hematocrit & hemoglobin levels were so low that I needed blood transfusions. I wasn't making enough red blood cells & to function and was experiencing severe anemia. Best advice I can give to you - is if it continues, go back to hospital ASAP. Positive vibes def sent your way.

Thank you so much for all the advice. It does give me some glimmer of hope to know I'm not the only one to go through this and with time it will hopefully get better. I spent the next day after surgery In Er as well I was dry heaving so bad I thought I ripped my guts out that was 2 days ago. Yesterday I fit a low grade fever all day and continued to drink Pedia lite to stay hydrated. Today no fever diluted the Pedia lite with Gatorade and all that seems to be going alot better. Just the nausea is sooooo bad if I could get that under control maybe I would be ok but as of now I'm super miserable and just praying for better days!

Better days are coming our way because we didn't get this far - to just get this far, right? If I was you, I would be getting a script of the best anti-nausea meds that your team can call in for you to your pharmacy. Hope it gets better soon!! I am still having this aching throbbing feeling in mid adbdomen since 4 a.m. We gotta have it a little more comfortable than this for us though lol

        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
