Feeling Quite Miserable



Recommended Posts

So I was sleeved on 06/07/18. Pain has not been an issue at all but I’m having trouble moving to full liquids. They make me feel ill. Drinking Water is sometimes painful. I don’t have the ability to burp, I never have, but I feel like I would feel tons better if I could. I’m feeling a touch of regret.

When do things start feeling normal again? I just want to drink water without feeling like I might die.

I was sleeved on 6/14 and I feel the same way towards Water but sugar free Jello and Protein chicken broth with additional unflavored Isopure is my best friend for now. Have you tried propel? It goes down a little better than water

I’m having my surgery tomorrow the 18th. Sorry your having problems simply drinking Water. That has to be tough have you called you doctor on this?

If you're struggling with the Water, try some warm (not hot) herbal tea with a little honey in it to sooth your throat. Don't worry about the little bit of sugar right now, your highest priority is the fluids.

btw, I'm another non-burper. Never could. My mom said I was a horrible baby!

Try drinking the Water at room temperature. Ice cold water (the way I usually like it) was impossible to drink during the first few weeks. I felt a lot of regret too but these hard days will pass and it does get easier!

My personal flavors of Propel, kiwi strawberry and Black Cherry, Also try Nestle Splash, no calorie also, my flavors in descending order: Acai Grape, Mixed berry, Mandarin Orange, Lemon. Try some mint leaves in your Water, leaves a refreshing,feeling going down and it might, just might, help you burp. Or even cucumber slices, not that found of cukes as a rule. One friend likes a lime slice, another a lemon.🍋

My surgery was 6/6 and I have been quite uncomfortable as well. I am getting to the point of anger actually. Water does not work for me, makes me ill. I drink Premier Protein Clear Raspberry or fruit punch and I drink Powerade.

I have severe cramping each time something does down my throat. It passes but it is really unpleasant. I just tell myself it is temporary but I honestly am getting past my threshold of being able to deal with it. Sorry you feel the same!

      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.

      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!!
