I'm not going to lie I feel like a failure I cheated a little on this after surgery diet it's week 4 and I had something. Please don't shame me in these comments I was doing so well. I'm scared now like what if I have a leak or something!!! What should I do? Is one thing going to hurt me? It's been hard because I've been throwing up the shakes and the Soups. I just threw up what I had too.

You probably haven’t sprung a leak, but if your continuously vomiting you should call your doctor.

As above don't berate yourself about the bad for, but please, please talk with your doctor if you are throwing up even with fluids. Fluids should be going down fine at this point and vomiting is something you need to avoid so soon after surgery. You might only need some IV fluids and a check that you don't have a stricture/narrowing causing the vomiting.

Don’t sweat it, just don’t make it a habit. It’s a slippery slope and all.
As an aside- call your Dr about the vomiting - that doesn’t sound right and there could be something wrong
Feel better!

No shame whatsoever. We're human and make mistakes. Now that much said, you need to contact your doctor about the vomitting because, my guess is, you're severely dehydrated.

I understand feeling like a failure. I’m almost 5 weeks post op. I don’t know what happened to me yesterday but something in my mind said “today I’m not gonna worry about logging food or watching portions”. I didn’t get sick and I ate approved foods but I ate instead of drinking my Water, and I drank water while I was eating. I was so depressed yesterday because I knew I was screwing up and I didn’t care enough to stop. I’m scared. Im going to pray this morning for help to get back on track.

I hope you are doing okay. We should be supporting each other.

People dont fail, they give up. Don't give up, don't mentally beat yourself up, don't feel the struggle is worthless. You are good, you have straights you havent6 even tapped yet, you will still make it. There is no TRY, just committ the willpower you have underneath v to make a success. But first things first, you HAVE to get fluids back into you. Even if you can't drink and keep them down , you need fluids. You will,need an IV perhaps to replace what you have lost before you get any more dehydrated. But don't just there listening to me rant,go to the nearest hospital. Your life and health and you yourself are worth more than that! Please child, GO!😖

I relied heavily on the chewable nausea medication to consume food without up chucking it and slowed my pace of consumption down significantly to overcome this horrible feeling. I have the same advice others have given you, I highly recommend you consult with your physician sooner than later, especially if you can not hold any food or liquid down, so they can pinpoint the issue.

        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
