For me as soon as I came out of surgery food was the last thing I wanted. I was thirsty!! But almost everyone I talked to said you won't be hungry after surgery and I thought no way of course ill be hungry but I wasn't. I am 18 days post op and still don't really want food. It'll get so much easier!! The hard part is getting to your surgery!! Good luck on your surgery and new life!!

Also, I must say I have a boyfriend. That might be coming out of nowhere, but just invade I thought I should mention it.

Autoimmune Issues and VSG?
LadyKatie replied to Tjohnson322's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey fibromyalgia is not fun either. I have both RA and fibro. I can tolerate my RA pain but when my fibro is bad I have a hard time. I've also never found a medication that has helped My RA so I rely on just knowing what bothers me and working out, which is hard to do with RA. -

Autoimmune Issues and VSG?
LadyKatie replied to Tjohnson322's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor said I could take Tylenol, but to me Tylenol doesn't do crap so I just rested when I needed too and didn't push myself too hard. Sorry that's not much of a help. You can talk to your surgeon or your rheumatologist and they may suggest some other stuff. -

Autoimmune Issues and VSG?
LadyKatie replied to Tjohnson322's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good! That makes me feel better. I'm 22 and was diagnosed at 14, but suffered with it since 2nd grade (labs didn't show it). I have always hated ring overweight, but my main goal is to get my RA under control. My doctors tell me I pretty much have no chance of remission except during pregnancy. I want to prove them wrong. I want to know what it's like to wake up and feel good!! -
Wearing shorts And dresses without chafing!!!! Also, shopping wherever I want!!

auto immune disorders and the sleeve
LadyKatie replied to akarigger's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have rheumatoid arthritis. I was sleeved may 22 and I have been off my meds for 4 months now and I feel wonderful! It sucked being off the meds pre-op but as soon as I HDTV the surgery I felt fantastic. I don't know how long I'll feel this good, but for now I will stay off my meds and enjoy every minute of it. The surgery was the best decision of my life. I know I am not far along, but I know it will be. The main reason I got it, was in hopes of helping my RA. Less weight on my joints=feeling better hope this helps!! -

Thats fantastic! Lupus is very similar to RA. I hope I'm able to stay off mine for awhile atleast. I haven't talked to my rheumatologists though. I should probably let her know what's going on. I feel she would suggest I take the medicine as a precaution, which I'd rather hold off on because of the side effects. -
Thanks ill look into those too. To take the silver is that because you are over 50 or just better for people after bariatric surgery?

Afraid to tell people I've been sleeved
LadyKatie replied to dolores_o's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm not embarrassed about it, but like you I think people will think I took the easy way out. I've only told close friends, family, and coworkers -
Regular syntha-6. I also found if I think it's too sweet to add decaf coffee to it

I feel better on the emptier days too. Glad I'm not alone here!
