The scale hasn’t moved since I came home. I was 231 when I came home from hospital, I’m 231 this morning. I am meeting my goals, but probably not moving as much as I should. But still, there should be some loss, you’d think?

I’m two weeks post (9/24) and have had no losses since I came home from the hospital. Anyone else experience this? I’m rather frustrated.

I’m doing ok. Feel like I did 500 sit-ups at once. I was having a lot of trouble getting my fluids down yesterday but I think today will be better. I was sent home with a soaker catheter for incision pain, and I had to remove that myself yesterday...NOT fun. How about you?

For those of you that have to take multiple pills at one time, how are you doing it? I need to take 4 pills at one time each night and I’m curious how to handle this once I’m sleeved. I usually throw them all back at once and swallow but I don’t think that’s going to work anymore. Are you just swallowing them one at a time every few minutes or so? So much to learn with this. Thanks.

My surgery is scheduled form11:30am (mountain time). I was originally at 3:30pm but got bumped up.

Completely normal! You’re contemplating a major life change, you’re entitled to be emotional, and you will be. You and me are surgery buddies!

One week until surgery and I’m getting nervous. Doing shakes for the next four days, then clear liquids until surgery. Not hungry, but definitely want to eat when I’m bored or reading. Hope everyone is doing well.

Oh yes, I’m medicated and have a special light I use. Much better than I used to be, but the seasonal eating has remained the same.

I’m self-pay, so no issues with insurance due to weight gain, thankfully. It is the time of year, every year, when I start to eat uncontrollably and gain weight. I have SAD, and It happens EVERY year between late August and late September as the days start to get shorter. I’m already up 5#, and I Can’t Stop Eating. My surgery is September 24, and I’m just so irritated, even though this is Just what I do this time of year. Anyone else have this problem?

I’m September 24th for sleeve surgery.

I’m September 24th.

Same. Worried about complications. Eager to get going. Worried about pain. Worried about taking time off from work since I’m very new.

Tried to find it, did a search, no dice. Can you link the post here?

I can’t have NSAIDs (my skin literally sloughs off), and Tramadol does nothing for me
