Feeling Bad Today



Recommended Posts

Had my RNY surgery on 20 Oct 16 and have felt great everyday. However, today I feel light headed (almost drunk feeling) and I had to force myself to eat (only ate dinner). I came home from work sick and went to sleep. I only sleep during the day if I am really sick. I checked my sugar and it was fine. I am hoping that I feel better tomorrow.

Thank you. I came into work today still feeling a little lightheaded. Forced myself to walk and felt a little better. When I got back to my desk I found out that most of my team has been sick since last week. I didn't know that and now I know why I wasn't feeling well.

Well, I don't know if it will help, but I had gastric bypass on December 12th, and when I left to come home on the 17th, I was at the airport and bought some Gatorade fruit Punch. I had a few sips. It was really sweet to me, so I tried to dilate it with Water. I took a few more sips. Then a few minutes later, I felt lightheaded. I figured it was the sugar in the Gatorade. So I bought some Glacéau Vitamin Water Revive Fruit Punch, and the lightheadedness stopped.

The day after I posted this my Team Leader went to Urgent Care and was told she had Scarlet Fever and Strep Throat.

      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. 🤞
