I had my month check up yesterday. It was so/so.

I was supposed to drive back home today which is 7 hours from where my doctors is located.

I have headaches, queezy rumbling stomach, not going to the bathroom. Barely getting 29 oz of fluids in.. and I sip all day long! But it hurts. acid reflux like mad even drinking Water.

I was happier before surgery.

Now I'm just miserable.

Are you taking a PPI? What did your dr say? You should not feel like this at 1 month out. You should be starting to feel a lot better. Make your dr address these issues before you go back.

I understand how you feel. I can attest to all those things you mentioned. I took Prilosec and gas x for acid reflux. Some times warms liquids help. I love my sugar fee Popsicles as well. But each day gets better. One day at a time. Try asking your physician for something for the acid reflux. At 8 weeks out I feel great. Just offering you hope and inspiration. Continue the hard work. It will pay off.

Good luck

If you not better do seek treatment from your physician. Some people just go and get iv or or whatever it takes.

To be honest I wish I will wouldn't of done this.

I didn't know how shitty id feel!

Thought life would be great.

Now I have no life.

I would of let my life be and kept working and changed my bad diet habits which wasn't fast food or junk. It was once a day meal. Work.

Now I regret not trying a little harder.

Now I'm sick every day.

Feel like death.

Inside and out.

:-(

More depressed now then ever.

Headaches, throwing up, queezy, pain.

Dehydration will cause headaches. Not sure if this is your case, but I hope you get to feeling better soon.

What's done is done. Do what you can to get the liquid in. Get a PPI (acid blocker). Once you are hydrated you will feel so much better. With an acid blocker you will be able to drink without pain. Do it, try.

Ya what's done is done.

And now I'm failing BC I don't feel good. I see narrow ended tunnel, black and cold...

I'll never recommend this procedure to anyone. Ever.

Never let something imperfect in my life affect me to make a drastic change that wasn't even healthy.

This life style isn't healthy!

Can't eat or drink.

Starve and die.

It isn't an unhealthy lifestyle. You HAVE to get your fluids in. Severe dehydration will create all of these problems you're experiencing and more. Go to the ER and get fluids before an ambulance has to take you there. You're experiencing the buyer's remorse that all of us deal with at one time or another. It's awful, I know. I nearly died from a leak. But even with my near experience I can't say I would never recommend this procedure for others. I recommend research and deep soul searching before a drastic decision is made. But as a previous poster said what's done is done! I promise, once you get your fluids in things will start getting easier. Set a timer. Drink 2oz every few minutes. Lots of people do that shortly afte surgery to insure they get their Water.

I also suggest seeing a psychiatrist or therapist that specializes in weight loss. Its a lot to deal with. A HUGE life change. You don't have to go regularly, but a session or two may give a few food coping mechanisms :)

      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!!
