My pain is better every day. To the point that it doesn't bother me unless I turn too fast etc. I keep reminding myself it will be better tomorrow and it is. -

Thanks. In my head I know this. I'm just not used to sitting still. It's the craziest thing. I have been out of my house other than to walk in my yard since I came home from surgery. I'm going to try to go to church tomorrow and see how I do. Thankfully my life is such that I don't actually have to be anywhere but where I am. I cannot imagine trying to go back to an office or the like. -

How is everyone else doing? I'm super tired still. It hit me today I may not just bounce back as quick as I have from other surgeries. I knew it was a major surgery. I researched and read everything. I was still not prepared for the level of exhaustion I feel. -

I'm feeling good. Very tired and not the least bit hungry. I keep pushing myself to drink and do my protein. -
Just got settled into my hospital room

One word for you - phlebotomist! I refuse to have anyone take mine or try again and again. I just ask outright for the phlebotomist- that's all they do all day long. -

Any August Sleevers?

Me too. I need to message her. Thanks for the reminder. -
Day four I'm gagging on protein shakes. Too sweet.
Geron Girls replied to grammie1212's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dilute it a bit. I have found that if I put it in my blender cup with some ice and let it dilute a bit then it is way less sweet. -

I haven't been able to drink a lot of caffeine for years. I think mine was the weather and lack of sleep. Good point, though. -

I'm on day one of the pre op diet. Thankfully I am allowed some things other than shakes. I'm fighting a headache but I think that is my household being busy, running since early this morning, and not near enough Water. How is everyone else doing? -

Geron Girls replied to DrewzWife's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have my preop lab work and chest X-ray tomorrow plus the in office appointment so the NP can go over the pre op diet. It will be a long day. But I am so ready. I just want to feel better. -
How am I ever going to get thru this liquid diet ?
Geron Girls replied to shellyd67's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I start mine Friday and I'm not even thinking about what food I'll miss yet. I cannot think of what I want one last time before surgery which tells me I'm ready mentally. Now, let's see how I feel come Monday or Tuesday. I have two weddings and a birthday party in the month I will be on liquids only. Should be interesting, -

This is a great post! Thanks for doing it. It'll give me a visual list that I can pray over each day. I'm so excited for each of us! -
NSVs - the little things that make you sooooo happy!
Geron Girls replied to Djmohr's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Way to go! I am scheduled for surgery on the 20th. I just want to feel better and have been so focused on the improved health aspect I keep forgetting there will be benefits like smaller clothes! -
It's the little NSV's ...
Geron Girls replied to dhrguru's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Oh my word I love those bras! They cost a fortune but they hold everything up and in! I am excited about being able to downsize. -

Exactly why I wouldn't say anything but I hurt for her. -

I'm sitting in a Walmart waiting for my friend to finish shopping. I've been people watching as I sit here. Is it bad that I want to walk up to the super morbidly obese woman using the cart (that is barely carrying her weight) and say something about bariatric surgery? She is young - or at least she has young children. Her little boy was trying to push her chair so she'd move. ???? -
Tips From The Trenches: Six Wardrobe Mistakes Not To Make During Your Weight Loss (and I Made Them All!)
Geron Girls replied to Carin Boyer's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
Depending on the industry she works in $30k might not be unreasonable for her to spend. I know in my previous life I was expected to look a certain way and that entailed $200+ suits. Now I can get by with Target $20 maxi skirts and various tees. ???? -

Geron Girls replied to DrewzWife's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What do you all have to do leading up to your surgery? I've got to watch a video series, classes, and preop testing. Plus, we meet with the surgeon three days before the surgery. Should be fun and busy. ???? -
