This journey has not been easy for me



Recommended Posts

My surgery was 3/3 the first day was fine, but the second day I was throwing up green Fluid running a fever of 101. My doctors husband told the nurse to stop giving me liquids and put steroids in my IV. The next day I felt ok so I was discharged Saturday. Monday my mouth produced excessive salvia and today I was doing fine until I ate Jello. I vomited I have these disgusting burps and always nauseated burping up this nasty tasting fluid. I really don’t want to regret my surgery but I’m not getting a break

I don't know if it was a fluke or if it's the jello... because I couldn't handle Jello after my surgery. It made me feel like my stomach was doing flips and I had an excess of saliva as well. It also made me burp as well. Maybe avoid the jello and call your surgeon tomorrow for advice.

Thank you, the burps taste and smell horrible. I have my 1st post op appointment Thursday and I will definitely go there with a lot of questions.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Take all meds as directed and keep in close touch with your doctor if you can't get your fluids in.

I cannot eat Jello now after surgery. I had mine on 3/3 also and I loved it before surgery now just the thought of it makes me gag. You have to figure out what is best for you and your new stomach. For instance, I can only tolerate Protein Shakes if they are ice cold. When they are room temperature it is extremely hard for me to get down. It took me a while to realize this but once I did I was very happy. My recovery has been pretty good but I know what you mean. I don’t think a lot of us realize how big of a change it is until we actually go through it. I want to be out and about and doing things I normally do but i can’t right now and that’s a huge disappointment. My husband always says this is temporary and I know it is but I just want the healing part to be over. Stay strong girl you got this!

I just want to figure out why my reflux and burps taste like bile once that is figured out I’m sure I will be way happier. It’s good to know you’re doing well.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
