are you feeling better? I was just sent home today from the hospital, I had the same problem i kept trying to puke up everything i swallowed and the medication made it ten times worse. Considering your surgery was a few days before mine, when did you start feeling better?

First thing first, surgery is hard. I was going to be sent home yesterday but I couldn't even keep an ounce of liquid down. I can't wait to get past the healing process!! The terrible nausea makes me scared to drink. Hopefully I can keep it down so I can be sent home

Yeah they were. I was released today because I was finally able to keep some liquids down. I'm hoping the nausea is gone for good. It was definitely worse than the pain of the actual surgery...

My surgery is in a few days and I need some inspiration so I can stop freaking out. Share your before and after pictures or stories:)

Hi, Okay I know you need you multivitamin and b-12, but is the thiamin, iron, and folic acid included in the multivitamin? Also, will I be needing calcium and other supplements? My NUT is closed and I wanna go shopping tomorrow before my surgery nx week.

my NUT said i shouldnt have to take calcium. has anyone else been told this?

Is Calcium Citrate the same as calcium w vitamin D? can i do either or

Good luck on your recovery!!! My surgery is exactly a week from yours:) Hope everything goes well and you reach your goals

So my problem is Im having surgery next week and Im wondering how long it takes to heal because i cant afford much time off of work. Is a week enough?? I have one desk job and my other job is as a hostess.

yeah I feel like it might make me extremely exhausted but like I said Im not sure I have the funds to take off more than lets say 10 days. Some ppl are also telling me disability takes a while to kick in and its not your full amount sooo Im scared. Young, confused and lack experience with this stuff

So only a few ppl know that im having VSG and I'm wondering if any of you are keeping the operation a secret and if so, how??! When the questions arise, what do i say?

My doctor also only requires me to do just a one day preop diet. Im going to try to do at least 3 days though

LOL

Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. It's really helping

Thats what my best friend told me. She said just say you're burning more calories than you're eating .Which in fact is not a lie lol

Are you feeling better yet?

So I have a surgery date June 18th, 2013. Extremely nervous but excited and feeling confused at the same time. So far I haven't been told to go on a pre-op diet. Also, does anyone have any suggestions about vitamins or protein??? I'm 21 this is my first surgery ever, I haven't even had my wisdom teeth taken out lol. I'm overwhelmed with so many different emotions!

Thats in a few days Good Luck !!!!

I've had one class with a nutritionist but I'm not sure if I'll see her again before my surgery. Thank you for your help, I wasn't sure about the amount of any other vitamins besides the Protein.

Don't wait! I am currently in college and I wish I would have considered getting this straight out of high school. It is now my 3rd year almost 4th year in college and will be sleeved in a couple of weeks. I completely understand about fitting in being in a sorority I am ALWAYS aware of my surroundings. But it's more than that I feel like I have been overweight my whole life and Im deciding my 20's will be great and healthy not miserable and filled with low self-esteem.

thats what Im also hearing. Im hoping the gas isn't too terrible and hopefully nothing that mylanta cant fix. Thank you

I am 21 years old. Full time college student studying marketing and full time worker. Not yet sleeved, give me a couple weeks (June 18th) . Have had weight problems entire life and will be going to the same doctor who did my mothers gastric bypass when I was in elementary school. Barely have time for myself between my two jobs and school so finally taking the time to start to get healthy. I'm not getting any younger
