Uhhhhm

Thank you, most important thing, is you are in the process.. I'm really glad I can be of any assistance to you, even if it's just a few words of encouragement... Be strong

Hope my rant helps...Dont hesitate to get in touch

Eating and nutrition... Take your pills, vitamins, whatever... Don't skip... Set alarms to remind you if needed... Food eventually becomes your friend and not the thing that's destroying you, your body will want healthier options, and will feel amazing when you give it that... I always say, I think I had brain surgery while I was under because I eat so well and don't crave the horrible stuff anymore.

Post op.... Move!!!! Move!!! Move!!! Be mobile, walk as much and as often as you can... I know it's a bit of a chore when you are heavy, but it gets so much easier when you are not lugging so much weight around.

Then, surgery time... Follow the instructions of the medical personnel religiously.. My recovery in hospital was quick, because of it... I took long, deep breaths whenever I could to make sure I get enough oxygen in my system, it's painful and uncomfortable for a day, but speeds up recovery like you won't believe... In a nutshell... FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS

Before surgery... Be 200% committed... Be positive about it, there should be zero fear in you, fear of failing, fear of your life sucking because you can no longer eat like you do..this surgery, is the best thing obese people can do, the best desicion they can make, if all else has failed them..also, do it for YOU.. and no one else, if you are being forced to do it, or doing it for someone ie: a partner or kids... There might be some resentment while you are healing up, and feeling iffy... So in a nutshell.. Mindset... Before and after the op.

Stay strong...This is the best decision you have made....I am 6 months out, 167lbs down...And have never been happier

I had similar symptoms around the same time as you, my surgeon prescribed a pill, I will try to remember the name... Used it for about a week or so... And have never felt nausea after that.

You should feel good about yourself now laneydasilva, I don't know your story, but if you are on this bariatric journey, you took a massive step already, and should absolutely feel fantastic about that.

.. One of my hopes is to help and inspire people going through this journey, don't hesitate to get in touch if you need a helping hand
