Burning Sensation At Incision
Gelica replied to suchsh's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the same feeling except mine is one of the incisions to the right. I also removed bandages today of course strips are left on. I'm worried though. Btw we had our surgery same day. [ATTACH]37627[/ATTACH] -
I know what you all mean on feeling weak. Today I wanted to get out of the house so I went with my husband grocery 15mins there felt like I just ran a 5k. I had no energy to walk upstairs to bed when we got home. Felt very faint. Also I am worried one of my incisions looks weird. Anyone else knowbif this is normal? [ATTACH]37625[/ATTACH]

I know what you mean I just can't drink enough it feels like. I did freeze some icopure in the popsicle thing I bought at walmart. I just want water to chug after having the chalky after taste.
-
Not to mention I miss my hubby. He has been in the guest room afraid that he might try to cuddle me and hurt me.

Thanks I forgot I had propel zero packets in pantry hopefully I can get that down. I just want to started feeling better and not so crappy. Also my back is starting to hurt from sleeping on it, I am such a tummy sleeper.

Thanks yea I been trying sugar free pops, but I only can eat half though. I then start to feel nauseous , husband if forcing me to drink the icopure, I just don't feel like drinking anything, I want water and I get so sick after a few sips.

Where are all the 2013 November sleevers?
-
Had my surgery the 18th ended up an extra day in hospital cause I couldn't pee on my own and the the extra day I developed a fever. At this point I regret doing this to myself. I got discharged this evening and feels good to be in my own bed. Has anyone else noticed excessive sweating a few mins after taking pain med? Also plan to shower today I know I can remove the bandages but not the white strips. Did you remove bandages before or after shower?

Great to hear you are doing well. I am really scared about the pain, I have a low tolerance for pain.
-
I am scheduled for Monday, nervous and scared as well. Just went OCD today and cleaned everything and reorganized everything.

Did you have a pre-op diet?
-
Can't believe surgery is on Monday, I am excited but yet very very scared. How is everyone else doing who has had the surgery this month? Any regrets?
-
I am getting more nervous each day but seems this week is taking forever to go by. Can't believe surgery is on Monday already. I wish I still had fb took it down due to crazy stalker issues, I use my husbands from time to time still.
-
So went for my last appointment Friday and looks like I got approved by insurance early. So my surgery is still on for November 18th, finishing my first week on pre op diet. Only one more week to go , can't believe how fast 6 months have gone by.
-
I went to have my pre-op pre admission done at the hospital today. It's becoming real to me now, I been okay but now a nervous ball of wreck.

I am on day 2 of my pre-op diet currently and my last meal this past weekend was wings and fries plus a sundae. I couldn't decide on a last meal and now think back and think oh Chinese, pizza, bar-b-que. lol -

what kind of diet is everyone doing, I think I might just stick with shakes so I don't screw up. -

Gelica replied to Gelica's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think I have cried about three times this weekend just thinking about it. I am usually an emotional person so glad my husband puts up with it. lol Guess so many things going through my head, is this what I really want to do ? have I tried hard enough on my own? what if I hate the way I look 6 months from now? . I am a over thinker on a lot of things. -
That's the day of my bday and I'm scheduled for surgery the 18th start preop diet Monday.

Clothing expenses after surgery
Gelica replied to linda305's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This was a concern of mine too. My husband told me "well you can always shrink them in the wash the way you accidentally do my shirts" Lol -

I am schedule to have surgery Nov 18th, would love to see pictures of anyone who was starting weight in the lower 200's and your current weight now. Goal for me is 150 and wondering if anyone else has lost that much about 60-70lbs? How is your skin? -
