This is Starting to Feel Real-PreSurgery Jitters?
Zoumommy replied to TheWigster's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi wigster, I'm a newbie here too, so bear with me I think it's totally NORMAL to have jitters, you wouldn't be human if you didn't. This is major surgery and the surgeon is removing part of your stomach that will NEVER be able to be reversed. Trust me, I've been exactly where you are....questioning what the heck am I doing. I haven't been sleeved YET....but I'm on my way, my surgery date is 2/3/14. I know for me, the sleeve is the procedure I'm most comfortable with. My grandma ALWAYS says, "Angie, think positive" so that's the attitude I'm going into this surgery with. I will make this new tool work for me, I have to, otherwise it's not worth it.....just my thoughts, hope it helps -
Monday begins my 2 week liquid diet eeek....freaking that this will be the hardest part of the journey, any words of advice, greatly appreciated

Stay away from restaurants, fast foods, etc, try to stay away from your kitchen as much as possible. Remember it's two weeks and it should go by fast. Drink lots of water. Keep yourself busy. If u are really struggling , go take a bubble bath and listen to soothing music. Remember "This too shall pass ". Blog us if u need support ..we r here to help.

Thank you, does Walmart sell it? Weird about the taste.... My surgeon said that the first 9 months are when the weight comes off the fastest, maybe that's when taste buds figure it out

It is but I have chronic daily migraines (get Botox injections every 3 months) and Cymbalta works so its a trade off
-
Thank you so much!! My surgeon said I can walk as soon as I get to the floor and that's what I plan to do

It's the antidepressants, , Im on Cymbalta for migraines and without a vibrator I would never have one, some of it is between our ears too

Did your psychiatrist do this?
Zoumommy replied to Zoumommy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, she was quite a gem.... Not! Ironically she's the one my surgeon uses -
So I had my psych eval yesterday and the psychiatrist kept trying to talk me out of Bariatric surgery, did yours? At the end she said she would give her approval, but I found her to be very rude. What was your experience?
