Yeah for some reason I'm getting my dilaudid through shots in the arm. I would SO rather have a pump to control myself. I have to call the nurse in every 2 hours or so for my next dose so sleep is pretty much nonexistent lol. I fall asleep for an hour and then wake up realizing my tummy is about hurt. Atleast it's working though. I'm sad bc they just took away my ice chips until I do the upper gi leak test tomorrow. Do you have those mouthwash foam lollipop thingys too?

Yes I have those foamy things. They suck so bad and all they would give me was a medicine cup half full of ice chunks once an hour! I am getting nauseous so they won't even let me have that now!

But the pump every 10 mins is hard to sleep too because you have to stay on top of the pain...if you fall asleep it takes forever to get back on top of it!

It is hard to sleep in the pump I fell asleep for about an hour woke up hurting so I pressed the pump 3 times in 30 mins and now I'm sick!

Yep! The pump made me nauseated. Once they unhooked it I was just fine.

I'm scared not to be able to get the meds I set my phone on to ring every half hour so I can hit the pump... Did they put you on different meds? What were they if so?

They gave me Lortab (liquid vicodan). It works just fine. Oh I did use the pump the first 24 hours and they loaded me up with reglan and zofran for nausea but I felt better off the pump after the first 24 hours. I had no problems with pain control.

Well, I'm in to the teens now. 19 days and counting before the big day. Time is moving pretty quickly, and it'll go even quicker now that Tuesday I have my pre op appointment and start my pre op diet, then Thursday I have my pre op with the hospital. I'm excited, nervous, all at the same time. I think the thing I'm probably going to miss the most at first are my workouts and competitions, but...it'll work out because in a year I should be competing in a lighter weight class.

      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.
