November Dates



Recommended Posts

Well everyone I made it through. Kinda sore but not to bad. Eating pudding type foods already and home. Ya! I'm drinking alot and am actually liking crystal light lemonade. Did not like it before. My husband was such a trooper for me. He stayed in hospital the whole time and slept in a very small recliner and got up and walked with me. He's so supportive .

Congrats...your husband is very sweet

Oh guys I can't believe you posted that, about sinus! Thought I was the only one! I had antibiotics last week but still have some sinus issues and a cough, totally feel fine, but the lingering cough and sneezing have me terrified they will cancel Thursday's surgery!

I'm still waiting on a callback. I guess I'll call the surgeons office in the am. I hope they don't decide to cancel mind either because of this. I hope it's only allergies. Hubby and I were cleaning today and the dust from storage was something else. I hope this clears up by Wednesday. I hope all of you ladies feel better. :)

Ladies (and Gents, if interested.) ... I had the thought of starting up a clothing exchange. That part of the forum seems to have dwindled down. I think that would be a good idea. What do you all think? Me personally, I've asked for gift cards to clothing stores for holidays, birthday, and v-day that way I can buy here and there without spending much. I'll be doing most of my shopping at the Salvation Army and GoodWill for work clothes since we have a business casual dress code.

Ok now Im 4 days post op. The weight is exploding off at 2.5 pounds per day. I've lost 20 total with pre op. i think part of it is doc has me on Clear Liquids for two weeks post op.Tomorrow Im going to start walking again. Today I pulled out my on-q pump. I also use a heating pad at night in lower back to try to help circulation. I believe it helps a great deal. My wife and I went to the grocery store today. That was a mistake! food, food and more food. Not a lot that any good for you. Lots of obese people as well. Not that Im judging, Im just wondering how bad Americans are getting with overweight. Once I make some progress ill do some pics. My beginning pic is downright scary!

      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.
