I'm a month out but it's been bad. Had nausea for a while got dehydrated . Headaches . Now I gag all day. Getting x rays done on thursday. Depressed. Unhappy. I've lost 40+ pounds. But I don't feel like myself. Anyone had the same ?

Yes Ms g, I did go through the same feelings physically and emotionally. For the first 4 months I doubted I made the right decision. It took awhile for me to start feeling better but eventually I did, then I realized I absolutely did do the right thing for my health. I don't regret one second of my VSG journey, it has made the person I am today.

Stay the course, it will get better and you will look back proud at what you have accomplished. This is why WLS patients always say that WLS is NOT the easy way out. It is really REALLY difficult... BUT WORTH IT!

Thank you. I feel like I made a mistake and I just want to get better and feel better. How many months or years are you out ? At the Moment I'm dealing with strong head aches.

I am going on my 4th year post op. The headaches are probably low carbs/sugars and/or dehydration. Are you getting all your Water in? Even if you have to ration your fluids you must get them all in during this time. You're still healing and not eating very much at all, so you really aren't getting enough water for your body to function properly.

8 Oz every hour, for 8 hours per day.

It does get better! Take little sips of Water all day. I gagged and now I no longer do. I had mine 2 1/2 months ago, and feel so much better.
