I am 2 days pot op it's so horrible. Everything tast nasty even Water. Did anyone else have this problems? I've only manage to get so far 1bottle water

I had surgery on the 10th. Water was and is hard. I tried Sur Water Enhancer, too sweet. I found for me warm stuff goes down better. I managed 4 grams of Protein yesterday by drinking 16oz of sugar free hot chocolate. Today I found Protein20 at Riteaid. I'm sipping the coconut flavor, it doesn't seem that sweet to me. I also try to o drink Celestial Seasongs tea. This is so hard, you are not alone.

31 lbs is fantastic. I was sleeved on 8/22 and have no idea what I have lost because we had to evacuate due to Hurricane Harvey. I kind of like not weighing and am thinking of not weighing until my 2 week check.

Out of surgery I could not drink Water without having major, major dry heaves. Even tiny sips sent me into spasms. Try other things. Popsicles and unsweetened tea were easier for me. Crystal Light was easier. Over time I was able to take sips larger than 1/2 tsp at a time and now I can even take two sips in a row...sometimes. I still burp like crazy. Please find something you can drink so you don't end up dehydrated!

Well I'm glad I'm not alone. I finally found something I like and can drink Decaf coffee with Creamer and Splenda.

Yippee!!! I was an avid coffee drinker and now I can't stand the smell. I'm really happy you found something though.

Yes, you are not alone!! Try to sip as much as possible, you don't want to end up dehydrated. sugar free popsicles were my main staple, even if I only ate a bit of it at a time.

I'm 1 week out and have only lost 10 lbs but I think my body is holding onto Water and I have hashimoto's hypothyroidism.

Water tastes disgusting. It causes pain when other liquids don't. I've been doing 1/4 juice and the rest water or crystal light or non-caffeinated iced tea. It's 105 degrees in La so I need so much liquid and I was doing great at first but have fallen behind.

Something's changed [emoji20] nearly three weeks out and all of a sudden I feel ill when I eat





Call your surgeon. It's most likely nothing or something small like the position you're eating in, what you're eating etc but I understand the fear, though differently since I'm only 8 days out.

Your surgeon's office is there to help. Are you taking a PPI?

      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. 🤞
