I made it to ONEderland! I am 198 down 42 lbs in 9 weeks, but not without trouble and some regrets. I knew this was going to be hard but I had no idea how hard. Some days I wish I was just normal again. Every day is such a struggle to eat, everything makes m nauseas nothing even sounds good. It's more a chore to eat. I am having trouble getting fluids in on my days off work bc I'm not as active and just forget to drink. Where at work I remind myself constantly to drink. Could I be getting dehydrated? Is that why I am having such a hard time eating? Oh and did I mention I throw up almost every day! I need advice and encouragement some kinda bad!!! :( help

My word! It sounds like you are having a rough day! :(

I think we all had days where it seemed overwhelming and wanted to go back our "normal" ways. But our normal ways where very unhealthy and killing us...

As far as throwing up? Are you measuring your food? Eating nice and slow?

I never threw up but did have periods of nausea the first two months.

And if you think you might not drinking enough,

You're probably not.

Yes drinking is like a full time job, but a very important one.

Good luck and hang in there you are doing great.

Sorry to hear this. I can't be of much help because my surgery is coming up on May 6th and I haven't been in your shoes yet. Do you have a watch with a timer on it? If you set it you can schedule reminders to help you drink. Find something yummy; put fruit in your Water or drink Crystal Light instead. I know dehydration can make you feel gross so maybe that's it.

You should check with your doc about the throwing up part. Doesn't sound right.

Make sure you are do not drink too close to the time you eat. Chew and eat slowly.. Do not drink again for 30 -45 mins.. I am 6 months post op and I have thrown up 3 times.. Twice from drinking too much Water too soon after eating and once i think from eating too fast..

The office said if I can't get enough Water down I will have to be put back in hospital on an Iv drip, they said my vomiting maybe a reaction to the somac or the vitiams so they will try me on something else today. I had the best day yest best one since surgery I'm 2 weeks out today! I only drank 4 cups of water! The office also told me to concentrate on the water over eating mixing it with squeezed lemon or orange so I have that a try went down much better and if I can drink a litre or close to then she thinks I will b ok and not to dehydrated. Hope ur ok. I know how u feel I have bad days every day until I had 1 good day yestursday! It's so hard I always think I wish I was normal again. Or if I could of just done a healthy diet but I know long term will b amazing

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
