I needs hugs today



Recommended Posts

I am feeling so down today.

First, I keep waking up with the most disgusting taste in my mouth, it's bad enough that it keeps waking me up at night. When I spit it out it is the most disgusting greenish sticky "something" that makes me gag every time. I read somewhere that it could be bile. Os that even possible?

Then, I decide to weigh myself and, of course, the scale went up a smidge. Right, only a smidge but when you are already down a smidge is like a ton. I told myself I was not going to worry about the scale but here I am.

Later, I end up puking the only two or three bites of eggs I had this morning. I am beginning to sense a pattern... Apparently my pouch rejects hot foods. Boy, it's going to be a fun Winter!

I figured what the heck, I am so down today but hey! I've lost 40lbs already, let's try some clothes on... Well, turns out that even after losing 40lbs clothes still fit horribly on me.

Sigh... I hope things get better... I need all the hugs today.

I hope it gets better for you [emoji846]
My pouch hates Grapes, Grapefruit, Brown Rice and Pasta. Makes me sad because I really like Grapefruit. I don't care that it hates pasta or rice or grapes but grapefruit? Come on now. Lol

I know... Little a-holes. They have a mind of their own. They should make a Pixar short about them.

I ended up puking my lunch too and now my pouch is telling me it's hungry. Well, screw you. Now you are going to wsit until dinner!

How far out are you? Are you still on acid reducers? Puking up things that you tolerated before is not something to ignore. It could mean several things, one of which is a stricture getting started.

Think about whether this seems to be a 1 day fluke, or a pattern getting started...

My surgery was 6/1. I am still on acid reducers and meds to prevent stones, but I will confess I am having some trouble getting them in.

You are correct, I am definitely not ignoring any symptoms and I am actually happy to have an appointment on Wednesday so I am writing everything down to tell the doctor.

I had a really hard time 3 weeks post op and was puking a lot. I called the Dr and they had me do a couple of days back in liquid diet to let my pouch settle. It helped a ton. I still have issues since my pouch is really sensitive but it's a lot better.

It is very possible that I may have made a mistake like chewing too quickly or something like that. Let's hope dinner goes smoothly tonight!

Eat slowly never allow yourself to be rushed. Chew carefully. As long as I do this I can eat anything. When I rush or force more food I get dumping syndrome.

Oh, you aren't as far out as I thought. At your stage I was on soupy purees. I agree, backtrack and slow down.

Good luck!

Sending late hugs! Hoping you're feeling better!! I agree at 3 weeks post op I was not on solids yet. Try and stay positive...honestly the year will go fast and the first 12 weeks are so important to take slow and allow your pouch to heal small cause it will stretch in time but you want it to happen slowly.

        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
