Every time I call the surgeons office they keep telling me I'm fine and I'm eating/drinking wrong. I keep having to spit, swallowing a lot of it is making me gag/dry heave.

Constantly having to gag/heave even when I don't drink or eat anything.

Water upsets me

Mushy food upsets me

EVERYTHING upsets me

And they keep telling me I'm fu***** okay. IM NOT. I FEEL LIKE DEATH.

What the hell is wrong with me ?

I beg for an answer or support. I can't do this alone.

I'm sitting in my car typing this. Nothing in my mouth. I'm gagging.

Two days ago... Kidney stones....

What's next? gallbladder?

Surgery: 12.12.11

Lost: 64lbs

Maybe you're dehydrated from not getting enough fluids and spitting. Do you feel really dry? Dehydration can cause nausea and make you feel really crappy. Go get some fluids in the ER if your insurance will cover it. If not, you must find a way to get some kind of liquid in you. Hot chocolate, milk, lemonade, anything.

Please keep us updated--

I say it's time for a trip to the ER. You sound dehydrated and it doesn't get better by itself. It's a vicious cycle of gagging and spitting until you can't drink anything. Go now, please, and let us know when you're home and fine.

This is what happens when I don't have anything in my stomach: It cramps, I get nausiated and then I produce a lot of saliva that I have to spit out.

You are getting dehydrated. Lissa is right. Get to the ER.

Very concerned for you...if you dont go to the hospital (which is my advice) try to fill a syringe with Vitamin Water or G2 and try to just get one syringe down at a time. Please keep us posted.

Whoa you've lost 64lbs in a month!?! I'm 5 months out and have only lost 62. I think you need to seek the advice of another Dr. Sounds to me like you have a leak....

I've never heard of having to get pre-authorization for an emergeny room visit. Usually you go to a covered hospital and then ask for a co-pay. Whay about your Primary car doctor?

I would first start with caling the on-call surgeon in the practice that did your surgery.

You have to wait for pre-authorization to go to the ER? Honey, are there any 24 hour urgent care places near you, at a minimum? Please get in and see someone ASAP, we're worried!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
