Frustrated...nervous..



Recommended Posts

I got my surgery on December 23rd and since December 9th (when I started my pre-op diet) I have lost 35 pounds. Yes I am so happy and excited...but I am also nervous. It's hard to take down pudding and applesauce. Sometimes it's hard to just drink Water. I haven't been able to start my Protein intake because It makes me sick. I find myself so tired because I'm not getting my protein intake...I just feel tired and sick. Will this stop? When will this stop? When will I be able to just drink juice again? Or eat Soup? I am so freaked out because I literally just drink water all day because everything else is sometimes hard to take. I don't want fast food, I don't need sodas, but I crave to just eat normally again and I'm scared that I will never be able to. That I'll feel this uncomfortable feeling forever...I'm three weeks in and getting frustrated. Any and all kinds of comments will be helpful so plz plz comment.

Thank you everyone!

Jamie

you'll be fine, this is only temporary and this to shall pass. . . i'm out now a little more then 1 year and had all those feelings you have. . remember the tummy is swollen and will be swollen for a bit. . . just concentrate on getting down the fluids (water is good) you don't have to shove down stuff you don't like. . . you won't die from starvation I promise. . just relax and take one day at a time. . . i major hated my sleeve in the beginning for about 3 months until i got the hang of it. . . it's tough, it's not easy to have to relearn everything. . . so just chill and relax, you'll be just fine. . . good luck

DITTO! And, I want to emphasize the importance of the fluids right now. That is much more important that anything else in those first few weeks. You Go Girl!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.
