Pre-Op day 3-HEADACHE day 3!
DarbiMolly replied to Lifechange>40's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Day 3 for me on my preop diet was bad too. Then suddenly I woke up with a spring in my step. I think it may be the body detoxing all the bad stuff out! -
Pre-Op day 3-HEADACHE day 3!
DarbiMolly replied to Lifechange>40's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes it is caffeine withdrawals!! I had a migraine the first 3 days. Day 4 I felt so much better and no headache. I am 6 weeks post ops and still have not had caffeine. Doing great! I weened myself off caffeine a month ago to prepare. I drank tons of water, this really helps. I haven't had caffeine since then and I'm sleeping like a rock! -
I've read some info about bad experiences too and it kind of makes me nervous because its a pretty big surgery BUT there are so many more people who have had positive experiences. Don't let a few bad experiences kill your excitement and hope!

It's funny that you say that. I didn't have my P since February 15 and then suddenly on Saturday I started spotting. Since then I have continued to spot. I've only lost 17 lbs so far. I'm 50 so I thought maybe it was menopause, could still be. Weight gain/loss does affect hormones.

Need help with what to tell work.
DarbiMolly replied to snowkitten's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Why do you have to tell him "why" you are having surgery? That should be covered under privacy legislation. My boss only knows I'm having surgery. not why. -
Hi all, just 11 days to go! Saturday we will be in the single digits. How is everyone doing on their pre-op? I'm down 17 lbs and am in the middle of week 1 liquids!

I'm sorry you are feeling poorly. I haven't been sleeved yet but I know a lot of people on here can provide you with their experience. I hope you have called your doctor. -

Emotionally struggling
DarbiMolly replied to Saramarie1023's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with everyone's comments. I have told very few people I am having surgery in just over a week. One of my friends is being negative but I know she just is worried and thinks its drastic - she has never been overweight so she does not understand how we struggle. Do what's right for you! Everyone else does! -

You go girl! -
I am pre op but my facilitator told me I would be very fatigued. She said if I even walk around the block it will tire me out. I think its probably normal. If you are worried you should call the doc and maybe get some blood tests. Always better to be safe than sorry.

June 30 sleevers .... how are you all doing?
DarbiMolly posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi! I started my pre op on May 29. today I am down 15 lbs!!! Yesterday I started week #1 of liquids. I have 2 weeks of liquids (next week is more strict) and i hope to lose at least 20 lbs before surgery - 25 or 30 would be awesome! I can't even imagine! If I lose even 20 pre op then I only have about 60 lbs post op to lose! For my cruise! In December! Yahoo! -
Amazing job you guys!
