Very sluggish and couldn't get liquids in- didn't want them. I too have a pain on my right side. Doc told me yesterday that can come and go for no reason or twist wrong as the biggest incision is right there thus pulling of the muscle but you really should at least call your doc. You'll feel netter

Y'all pray for me' date=' I don't seem to be doing as good as all of you guys... My side is swollen & I don't feel I've lost any weight since last Wed.. I can't seem to get many liquids down - today in try'n to get in 2 Protein Shakes & more water... You all are losing so much weight & I don't think I am... Maybe b/c my stomach is swollen & irritated & inflamed...

Hey everyone, yes I went from goin to the ER & have just been brought to a room, so back here again from just be'n here a week ago... They did a CAT-SCAN & I'm waiting for the Dr to come let me know what exactly is wrong besides me probably being dehydrated but ik it's something goin on w/ my side b/c the pain really hasn't subsided since I left here...

On top of all that ig b/c I'm so dehydrated they have serious issues w/ getting an IV in... So they had to stick 4 times to get an IV in & now the 4th one has my arm swelled up so they had to take that one out & now I have to be stuck a 5th time to get another IV started... I'm so discouraged right now & I want all this to go away & be able to eat & feel good & lose weight & not be in pain... When they weighed me in the ER I've only lost 3lbs since surgery date... During my CAT-SCAN they did say that I had a lot of air in my stomach which means I'm still swole & I can see that on my left side which is hurting...

Just wanna feel better - glad that all of you are doing so well & glad for you alls weight loss & I hope in the next few weeks I can catch up to you guys...

Oh I'm with u honey. And they will pump u full of liquids which will undoubtedly help u sooooo much. This is good that you went in. The pain I have is from incisions. I hope yours is too. Praying for you! Keep your chin up and know that you're not alone. I'm right there experiencing this with u. Just two days ahead ;) KK?

What I want to know is I go for very short walks- and now calves cramp up. Why? Find it weird. Anyone?

      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!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
