Any September surgeries out there



Recommended Posts

My surgery is tomorrow morning. I am on Clear Liquids until midnight. I have a raging headache. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sadly I wasn't allowed to take anything before the surgery. I would call my bariatric office and ask if I were you.

They let me take Tylenol and gave me a prescription for ativan for the night before and day of surgery.

I'm one week post op, and honestly slightly worried... I see all these people saying "I could only eat half a yogurt etc" and honestly I feel like if I didn't make myself stop halfway I could probably eat the entire thing. I'm just not getting the full feeling whatsoever. My nut said I could start on cottage cheese, yogurts, and my "pre-selects" yesterday and I thought I'd get the "full feeling" but I haven't at all. Wednesday I'm attending a class and figured I'd ask then but it'd be nice to also get some input from you guys. Thanks.

I'm exactly the same. I can eat 4 oz of any of my allowed foods(because I measure that much out) and I never get full. Pretty sure I could eat at least double. I get 80 oz of Water in a day too and can gulp it down after a workout with no problem

Thats strange. Sometimes after my walk I get so thirsty I forget about my surgery and begin to gulp and I get a massive sharp pain. Haven't puked yet as I am almost always careful but so far I don't ever feel hungry. I only eat bc I know I need to but I am one week post op. I am sorry you guys are having trouble but you are still probably eating less and weight loss will still happen. Just don't push to see how much you can eat and stretch out your new stomach.

I took a book

Robe

Slippers

Phone

Charger

Notepad

Vaseline

Toiletries

Change of clothes

I didn't use the book at all! I did wear a change of clothes home though. The hospital will obviously give you a gown and socks so you may not need a robe but I just wanted to have my own.

With Biotin you can take as much as you want. I am taking 5,000mcg, I believe.

Stitcher: does the temp change ever seem to coincide with eating?

It doesn't seem to be around eating at all but the hormone idea sounds exactly right. My surgeon told me that this surgery messes with your hormones! I totally forgot. I am only 25 so I was wondering why I was having hot flashes. Well now I know what I am in for in 25 years.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
