On my way to the hospital



Recommended Posts

Having my sleeve this morning here in Houston, have to be there 5:30am. As of this morning I've lost 38 lbs since starting all the prep testing and whatnot. Ive checked off all my to-do items so I guess that means I'm as prepared as I can be. Wish me luck!

How are you doing buddy?

Guys it's been tough. I've been puking and the pain is crazzzzzzy.




Sorry to hear you're having a rough time! I had dry heaves in the hospital and was given something for nausea. That helped a lot. I had some pretty decent pain from a deep stitch that I had. I imagine you have told a dr or nurse about your pain and nausea. I have no advice but am sending you positive vibes and best wishes! Hang in there!

Its been really rough. Lots of nausea and dry heaving (which makes my incisions hurt a lot). They have tried like 5 different meds and now its toned down but not gone. Finally getting in some broth since I only had ice chips up till now.

I heard from a lot of people day two is worse and I am praying that's not true for me. Thanks for the thoughts and well wishes, I can use all the help I can get.

I'm doing much better. They finally got my naseoua under control and that made all the difference. I was released last night and was excited to be home

But of course now Houston is expecting a hurricane and my well laid out recovery plan has gone out the window. I have to figure out where I'm willing to evacuate to since the roommates who were going to be my caretakers this week are leaving town. Perfect timing!

So other than all this drama I'm trying to focus on my liquids and staying hydrated. I dont know what full feels like yet so still not pushing things. Glad to hear you are doing better.

        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.

      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
