I had six nerve blocks in my neck at once and it did not work. I hope you have good results. We did not cut my nerves because the may grow in clusters on my head.

HW 358 SW 344 CW 318 GOAL 200 surgery 4/11/13

I've had the nerves burned before, but they grow back I guess. I just want an end to this back pain. With losing weight, id like to be going for walks, or doing anything active for that matter. I can't even walk around the block. So you have back problems too?? I have had so many epidurals, and they don't even work anymore. He was gonna do an implant, but says it doesn't pay because with the condition of my back, ill need surgery soon.

I am having a tough time counting how much Water I'm drinking. Or Protein I'm taking in. shakes are the worst for me. Haven't found anything other than the whey Protein Drink from Walmart I started mixing it with water and sf Hawaiian punch to be able to get it down. Idk I hope I'm doing this right. My doc says I'm fine.

I use the MyFitnessPro app and it calcs all of my protein every day. I don't have to enter anything, there is a scanner on it and I just click and it uploads all the nutritional info automatically. It is awesome! It even shows how much exercise you do and the water you take in. Pretty cool!!

Yes i got screwed up back. I'm due for another epidural. Mine gets so dam tight its unbearable to walk at times. Just trying to prevent another surgery. I still be doing another round of physical therapy as soon as I'm released.

First bout of vomiting today. I ate a morningstar veggie burger, about half, and it came up 10 minutes later . I also had diarrhea earlier today, so maybe it is a stomach bug. Got no food in today, and vomitted Water as well. Not gonna hit Protein or water! ;(

The HydraCoach Intelligent water bottle is amazing. You program it and as you drink it counts your ounces and you set it to whatever ounce intake you need for the day. It's a bit pricey but I think it's well worth it!

That does sound like a bug! Get better soon and try to stay hydrated. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you.

      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.
