the nurse said I need to be seen, it can't wait til the 16th. So I have a appointment September 2nd, maybe this is what I need? But I just can't believe I'm going to be at the hospital all day I see my nut. the same day and I think it's in the morn then I have the appointment to get checked for a narrowing at 4 ew ugh and it's a week away so I have to suffer for a week so that would be suffering a week and 3 days poopy!

Sorry Kiddo do not know what you are going through. Perhaps it is an inflamation? Hang in there. Try not to stress out. are you eating anything? liquids?

I'm trying to but it's hard when you feel you gotta throw up the liquids (besides water)

My symptoms are, weird feeling in throat, nasty taste, stomach feels like it was punched, been getting dizzy, and been getting headaches, and don't really have a appetite, I just wish I knew exactly what it was and why I'm not feeling up to anything. The nurse said if anything drastically changes or I stop eating to go give them a call or go to the ER (can't remember which one she said) why do I have to be the one to have a complication? Boo );

Sorry Erin, I don't know what a narrowing is. Maybe swelling from vomitting? Not sure but let us know when you find out.

I felt this way for almost two weeks but it is slowly going away. I am not sure what it is but it is a pain in the butt. I hope that you feel better soon. Let us know what the doc says.

You are really probably swollen because you keep trying to eat. You need to take yourself of off solid foods all together for a few days. I've been in the exact same situation. No oatmeal, no mac and cheese, no cheetos. Fluids only! I don't wanna sound mean but that's truly what you need to do. You're probably gonna be stuck in this vicious cycle until you get your swelling under control

You will still get sick on mushies when you are swollen. I have several times. When you are severely swollen hardly anything will pass through

        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
