Hang in there it will get better, I'm four months out and gulping Water all the time now. I did have crying moments of what have I done my first month, but like you said the 20lb weight lost can make you feel better. Take Care

I was so excited to get this surgery and I knew it would be hard but I don't think I can handle this. I LOVE to gulp down a nice cold drink, not this sip sip sip crap. And no matter what I eat or drink and no matter the amount I get sick. I hate this! I'm happy I lost 20 pounds in a week but I can't handle this anymore!

I have been thinking about this and I just invite you to look at it from the point of view of someone who is so so wanting this surgery and keeps coming to roadblocks- a herniated disc, an abnormal result in my stress test requiring a cardiologist visit, today a low Vitamin D3 and clotting result- I would give ANYTHING to be where you are.

Swishing you mouth with Water or chewing gum help with the dry mouth..It probably due to them putting you to sleep. It will go away. How is your hrydration going are you getting in 60 plus ounces of water or are you still struggling? You will have a better outlook as days pass. Always remember no matter what you are doing this for yourself as well as your health..

How far out are you?

I think it was on 3/1.

I hate to be a mama type but I just noticed our poster is 18 - my sons age- and the impatience, frustration, and high drama all made sense.

Oh you are perfectly fine to have a melt down, I'm 4 months out and I still have them. They get a lil worse when mother nature comes to now too wink.gif. I will tell you this I still go to bed with my glass of Water and I used to luv chugging water just like you, But I can't drink alot of water unless I have a straw water goes down easier and I can get more in. Life gets easier, it's a day by day journey that gets better and betterbiggrin.gif

I take in as much Water as my stomach can handle. And I was told that I shouldnt chew gum because of the air intake while chewing. And I actually started my girl time on the 9th. I haven't had one in about a year and a half. So this week won't be fun. Lol

I saw some really cool water bottle son someone's vlog- Camelback is the brand and they have a special valve so you can sip without getting sir- they seem perfect for the sip sip sip we have to do- making it easier. Keep it close and drink as much as you can.

You are so young! I feel for you having to change your life so such at such a young age. No wonder you are stressed!

Sweetheart, I think you are very brave taking such a big step at your age. I wish I had the guts to do it when I was younger. The first few months will pass before you know it. Its your old habits that got you to the point of needing this surgery in the first place. I'm not sleeved yet but I know when I do I will go through a time when I will mourn for the way things used to be. I think thats a natural part of what we go though since its such a big change for us. So have a good cry and tomorrow wake up and start your knew life where you will make new habits and experience the whole world in a way you have never done before. I bet in a few weeks you'll be back on here saying how happy you are with the new you and how much you love your sleeve.

I know this month will fly by but I love in the now and that's the bad thing. I know it'll get better and so far I've lost 25 pounds in only about a week so it's doing it job but like u said it's my habits I miss.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
