I have a rash all over my chest and shoulder area. Can it be the meds ? I called my Dr. and believe it or not..their only suggestion was to go get some benadryl cream. Ugh, me tiene mal...I am being forced to deal with it...benadryl isn't helping.

So after four weeks what were you able to eat...( food examples ) ? I am going to be 2 weeks post op tomorrow. I can't wait to enjoy food ..im starting to only drink liquids again. Idk but that might happen ti me too. When I see someone eating...for some reason im like " Thank god it isn't me eating that" lol

Lol I feel the same way. Around four weeks I was eating tuna, chicken, cheese. I kept it light and still do. I usually go to McDonalds and get me a grilled chicken wrap and just eat the chicken inside. I can't even enjoy good, it's like when I got to solids the restriction it's so much more.

Do u own a slow cooker? U can take a couple of boneless chicken thigs and take all the fat off them, season them and throw them in the slow cooker till they look like tuna. U might even want to throw in it some carrots, broccoli and coliflower. It wont look beautiful but it will be delish and healthy.make sure u put in half cup of Water in it.

      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.
