I packed a bunch of stuff a tablet my charger a go home dress 2 books pillow playing cards. I used absolutly nothing except my dress to go home not even my socks or underwear. But better to be over prepared then under. I was drugged up most of my experience and sleep until my release day The Losers Bench

Gallstones is a maybe hair loss is to a certain extent and can be battled with vitimins Gas some people has it worst then others the sooner you start walking the less there will be. Luckliy ive had no issues with gas pain but i do get gassy if i feel uncomfortable i walk and never let it settle in to cause pain. Yes to hunger this is not a stavation surgery you will get hungry but you will need to learn your body over again. So hunger may not feel the same as it use to. I was use to feeling like i was starving so now a little hunger feel like im not really hungry at all. But mentally i know its time to eat and a few spoon full holds me for hours. chicken is Protein it will definately be back in due time. Don't stress yourself out with tears and dont worry about sleep once you get out of surgery the hospital will have more then enough meds to make it happen. I wish you so much luck on your journey we all have our doubts and fears but name something thats worth having that does not come with risk. Life is everything and we have to deal with alot before and after surgery but we are fighting for our lives. Almost every risk is worth that even a bald spot Lol be strong You can do this The Losers Bench

Ok so i dont know my offical surgery date weight bc they didnt take it but i dod have the pre registration weight whit was a week and a half b4 surgery so my numbers are BW 450 SW 430 CW 401 down 49lb altogather The Losers Bench

@ day 6 of post op and i drink in sips and when i feel a little discomfort i stop at least 20 mins if i still feel a little hungry i sip a little more but usually im good for the next 3 to 4 hours till i feel hungry again The Losers Bench

Thank you The Losers Bench

Just read a list of can haves on obesesity.com as i said before my surgeon is not really hands on and the list they gave list a few things i can have the say etc. And obviously etc. Is not a food choice just learned today i can still have pork sins once im on to real food again (excited). To move on to my question on the list they had chiken noodle Soup with soft noodles is this true or can i just have the ones with soft noodles but eat around the noodles?? Im just ttying to get a list of cariety i. My can haves and since i seen what happened under Snacks whick i agree with her there is a way to tell me something without belittleing or chastising me im bound to make a mistake and im a little thin skinned but i do want honest answers and can accept them as they come thank you guys!! Need answers by tomorrow i plan to try for dinner if i feel i got a correct yes answer i dont want to hurt myself The Losers Bench

I know my dr told me no distractions while eatting but i chose to read a book and put down a fork of couse that was pre op now post op i havent made it that far but i use to put down the fook and pick up a book chew a page and wait a page it wasnt always easy but it kept me focused The Losers Bench

Sooo i am offically 4 days post op i made it to the other side yay!!! Unfortunate my liver was still too big to get the full Ds Surgery so i ended up with a sleeve not unhappy because still have promising results with less complications and my surgeon says when i lose more weight we can reschdule for the 2nd half if im still willing. Not sure if im willing to go through the wake up pain again. My stomach wasnt so bad but my back was killing me. But dont let my story scare you I have a low tolerance for pain and 4 days out i barely need any pain meds. I guess i feel disappointed like i let myself down. thats why it took me so long to talk about it. I feel like i let u guys down who were rooting for me. I followed my diet i lost weight on it just not enough. But every journey has its twist and turns to tell and although i am an expert in DS I am a novice at this sleeve thing so it a new mindset and a new set of rules to process. But honestly im scared. My sergeon is not very hands on and not close enough for me to go to all the meetings. With the Ds I had the malasorbtion angle to help keep the weight off long term what if i am not meantally long term strong enough for this?? Full of Questions

Im doing all right i guess i just feel a little down about everything especially not being able to have the full surgery but physically im making it The Losers Bench

I can sleep on both sides and i abe been since day 3 when i got out the hospital but laying on my stomach is the most comfortable which suprised me Today!!!!!!

Yup I cant believe it tomorrow is the big day congrats to those who had succesful surgeries today!!! I'm so excited and nervous for my turn but mostly i just feel relieved that i will have a break from being hungry. Today is really hard im all Protein shaked out wven it i did get to eat a real dinner and today is only 1 Protein shake then Clear liquids for the rest of the night nothing after 12 so at 10 im raking a pill and going to sleep TOMORROW IS WLS

So maybe im not the best to say this cause i did get to eat dinner but it does get easier then u just get sick of drinking all togather by the time surgery gets here just know u are not alone we all be there or on our way there you can do this TOMORROW IS WLS

I was in alot of pain when this started i could not even stand long enough to cook dinner for my family or walking less then a minute hurt extremely it felt like my entire back would stiffen and i could not move my legs . My NUt gave me the best thing ever. Sit down excersizes. Not sure of your weight but i was 450 at the time she gave me a list of sit down exercises i danced in my chair i did leg lifts and arm lifts even crunches and they helped alot in losing the weight and getting to a place where i can walk. Im 425 nowand still ajvent had surgery but i can walk for about 5 mins before the stiffness comes. It may not seem much to most peoplebut ot was a huge accomplishment ro me and its a long way from 3o seconds. I wish you continued success in your journey. We may not be where you want to be but thank God we are better than where we were. Oh yeah pain pills before my workouts helped alot as well 4 days untill WLS
