I see my dr and I can't wait!! Hopefully he finds out what's wrong. I hate when you have plans, you feel fine and up to it then at the last minute you have to cancel it. Had plans to go to the movies yesturday, planned for a month then I didn't feel I could make it, I feel horrible cause I couldn't get ahold of my friend ): then today I was going to go to Albany, woke up with nausea and I couldn't make it that far (about 3 hours away) I went shopping online, atleast I got the things I wanted, usually the store doesn't. Anyways it's been a week being sick I went from being 212 to 202 since last Saturday! I have a feeling once I start feeling better and eating mushies again it'll go back up ugh. It's scary that my Tongue is White like it was my first week post op, I can't remember how I got rid of it. The nausea I thought that if I took my nausea meds itll help me get back but they don't they helped me get back to normal before, so weird and I can't take them anymore cause apparently I'm alergic to them, DANG! Well I think there's something wrong hopefully we find out what it is. I wrote down how im feeling. As long as I'm home I can wait til my appointment on the 2nd itsthe only time I can get in so yeah!

Okay I just wanted to talk

I know and I don't know why it just started happening I mean it's healing time but still I gotta be stuck at home nothing to do besides sleep/rest and watch tv hoping it'll go away. I was banded July 31st. I felt like myself for two weeks. My first week sucked! Was nauseated all week one time it got real bad I had to go to the ER. But it's so weird that I started feeling like crap again last Friday night really sucks. Thanks though (:

Are you following the proper diet guidelines, are you up and moving? Are you getting enough fluids in? You dont want to be dehydrated! drink, drink, drink.

it's hard to eat anything right now, I have no appetite, I try to eat some broth and yogurt but I couldn't eat much, I've been basically just been drinking Water it seems to be the only thing that doesn't make me feel nauseated. I get up here and there

Try adding some Protein Powder to your Water so at least you are getting calories that way. Even though you feel lousy try getting up and moving more, that might help a little. I sure hope you get the answers you need.

so do I, I'm praying he knows, I'd be so lost if he can't find any. School starts on the 8th and to be honest, I'm scared. Like if I get sick and end up missing school, it's starting to make me sad): BOO! =

I have to wonder if you might be dehydrated... the white tongue is a sign of that....

        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
