I was banded 5/31, yesterday my boyfriend noticed while holding my hand that I was shaking, I didn't notice til he mentioned it, then this morning I was shaking so bad I could barely hold my papers, my boss even noticed it without even touching me. Its not only my hands but I feel it in my arms too. Its kind of like a shivery shake. I'm not cold, its 82* here .... Anyone else expeirence this?

I had a headache real bad during my preop diet, but haven't had one postop thankfully. I see the Dr tomorrow for my 2wk follow up, ill ask him then, I am thinking its sugar related, because I drank a cup of coffee at work (i rarely ever drink coffee with REAL sugar) & it helped, now tonight, its back again. :(

Are you getting enough calories? I get that when my blood sugar drops (I am not diabetic). Remember this can be serious. If you are that shaky you could be dangerous to drive! If you faint while driving that could be a disaster. Yes I am being alarmist but you don't want to pass out while driving. I know I've had times where I would'nt have been safe to drive.

That's good to know. I can understand the excitement to have oatmeal have what you have been through. Keep up the good work and I hope all the pain goes away soon. Take care! You will do great!!!

I was having headaches too, I finally figured out it was the caffeine (or lack of).

You are not suppose to stop caffeine, you have to ween off slowly.

I miss my Dt Dr Pepper.

I spoke to my Dr about my shakes today, he didn't seem concerned & said its possible that my body is trying to get used to fewer calories & less sugar. I'm not diabetic, so that's not the case. He said if it gets worse to see my pcp.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
