Yep! Went fine! I'm using my push-button-medication-pump, It seems to help. Tomorrow I have the swallowing study, THEN I can have an ice cube! YEA. I AM SOO HAPPY I DID THIS! All my exercise equipment ready for me @ home, got a Simple Organic cookbook... I'm ready to become the woman I've been stifling inside for too many years!!

Thanks tmorgan! Just had my two laps around the floor, if I do 4 a day (easy-peasy) they take the compression stockings off. Hope to get the drain tube and catheter out today also! Tippy! No, I said "yippy". ( darned spell check!)

Yes, I have a higher level of discomfort, can't call it pain.. But today they take away the medication pump and I try Vicodin. That worries me...

Till later,

You're funny! Isn't that why were on this journey? To "do the dang thang??"

All the way into the surgery room yesterday I kept saying to everybody "OH MY GOSH! IM HAVING GASTRIC BYPASS!!"

I'm glad that part is over, now I have the hard part ahEad of me... Implementing it in my lifestyle. But I've got an Organic cookbook, and I'm reading Jillian Michaels book on hormones and how the work and wHat processed food does to or bodies. Very interesting stuff!!

Later,

D

I was looking forward to going home today, but yesterday afternoon I spent throwing up. Have a fever of 101 this am, so I don't think I'm going home just yet. I sure don't feel strong enough yet either...

Hi all,

It appears there may be an obstruction.. Which is what caused the vomiting. I'm back NPO hoping it resolves itself. Otherwise.. Back to the OR.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
