I’m terrified of being at a restaurant or public place and having to throw up. I literally have visions of myself walking around in a store and projectile vomiting. I’m terrified of getting diarrhea while I’m out in public or on a date. What if I can’t control my farts. What if the feeling of hunger never goes away and I’m stuck with restriction from my pouch yet feeling physically hungry pangs and all because all that rerouting of my pouch is off. What if I look really old prematurely like some people who’s face look like they literally melted and everything is saggy. (Don’t mean to sound vain) but I don’t think anyone would want to age prematurely and look 15 years older. I don’t know how illogical this is but I do believe that it may be possible and I would hate any of that happening to me. I get embarrassed so easily I just couldn’t overcome pooping myself or literally running to a bathroom at a restaurant or worse not making it [emoji30] is there anyone around 6 months post-op who can share if this happened to them? What are your fears? Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Thank you! I really hope everything works out for you and your surgery gets on the works. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

I’ve cheated so much, Only thing that has saved me Is that I’ve been cheating with protein. For example tuna fish or eggs nothing with carbs. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

We should all try to check back in here after our surgeries, I’d really like to know how everyone is doing. As soon as I can hold my phone I’ll be on it [emoji28] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

I need to stay away from amazon because I just been shopping for the entirety of my liquid diet [emoji30] I tried the bariatric advantage chewable and didn’t like it and I deff didn’t like having to take 4. Instead I found a one per day bariatric capsule which I plan to take 2 of. The calcium I take is barimelts omg soo delicious it taste like sweet tarts. For iron I have Proferrin heme iron. Thanks for the PDF’s I’m checking it out now[emoji106] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

I will live by rule 1 and 2. It may be a little difficult during my travels but I’ll stick to food I know how I’ll react to. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

I just got the call just now too.. I picked to go 1st because I didn’t want to feel hangry and anxious for hours. They told me to be there 5:30AM Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

We’re so close! My excitement is through the roof [emoji847] it’s feels so unreal that I’m jealous of me for being next [emoji23] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Glad to know that I’m not the only one lol.. thought I was on my own with this. It only worries me so much because I’m such an active person despite being heavy and I travel a lot and love exploring and going away and I’m really hoping to do this even more and take it to another level once I lose weight and I’m healthy. So for example it’s important for me to be able to travel to Thailand and know I can eat the local food and not feel like oh idk if it’ll agree with me but I guess this is part of the process, after all I was the one who caused this with my unhealthy eating habits [emoji30] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

That’s for your comment it really does help put things into prospective for me. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Such great advice Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

[emoji90] doesn’t happen for me! I don’t have incontinence problems or ever had to worry about getting explosive diarrhea when I’m not sick or food poisoned. I don’t want to trade one problem for another. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Idk I’ve heard stories of people saying they didn’t know they had intolerance to x y and z until they tried it and had diarrhea or had to throw up. It just scares me that I’m trying food at a gathering or whatever and out of nowhere I have to throw up or diarrhea. I won’t always eat at home or eat only what I cook and trying different things will certainly make me nervous. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

They found H. Pylori and I can’t stop thinking about how the heck would I have ever gotten treatment for it had I not been trying to get surgery because I felt perfectly fine. On another note there’s nothing to worry about even if they do find anything like an ulcer a hernia an infection or whatever it won’t delay your surgery they’ll treat it or fix it while they do your Bariatric surgery. You’ll be ok [emoji108] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

It’s going pretty bad lol Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

You’re doing better than me.. I totally gave myself permission to eat protein. I’ve lost 10lbs so far so I deff have some progress to show for but if my surgeon knew how I been tweaking my diet he’ll prob cut my head off [emoji87] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Thank you [emoji3] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Haha [emoji38] I’ll deff be in my little room all woozy from my anesthesia trying to do speech to text to keep everyone on the know lol.. I’ll document it every step of the way. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

O wow so you are really well on your way.. I’m happy for you. Now that I think about it during my entire process I just didn’t give it much thought there was no anticipation. I was eager to do all my clearances and put all my energy into that. I started in oct and by November I was finished with all my clearances just needed to log my weight for 6 months and get a letter from my doc. As soon as all that was done that’s when I started freaking out and feeling like omg will insurance accept me is this really happening and I felt every emotion at once. Keep me updated. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Hey! Lol I know.. there’s definitely more than 24 hours in every day of this week so far [emoji23] I’m thinking of packing my hospital bag tonight or tomorrow to feel like I’m that much closer. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Deff buying those to measure my water sips. As much as I dislike drinking water I’m already anticipating it to be a chore. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

I need to buy small sauce containers with tops to put my soups and broth in there. I know one packet of my protein soup prob equal 6 of those little cups if not more but I just can’t picture the day I’ll eat such small quantity and I’m hesitant to buy it [emoji30] Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Yeah even one day is tough on this preop diet. The doctor didn’t require a laxative but I really think it’ll be good for me Bc I haven’t been on liquids only and I’m afraid of not being throughly cleansed. O wow.. you’re able to switch doctors in the middle of the process? Have you been to any seminars yet? Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

I can’t wait to be where you’re at. I’m ready to start losing this weight. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

I didn’t even know they did such thing. Is that standard or just for smokers? Yo-Yo Girl from New York City
