Had to go to ER last night with trouble left side back pain. CT came back with 1 cm kidney stone. Home now, have to pass stone and deal with Constipation at same time. Help things look up soon!

I am so sorry you're going through all this! I've had kidney stones and they're awful, plus if you take pain medication it will just make your constipation worse. I can only offer you positive thoughts and prayers and I feel so bad for you. :( Hang in there!

Thanks so far the only pains were I took we're in hospital. Thanks for the advise though. Didn't think of it making things worse.

I was also given meds to pass stone. Hopefully it doesn't take too long. I have my 4 week sleeve post op appt Monday.

I had a stall from about day 12-25. I'm hesitant to say but I "think" it's breaking. It's frustrating. But they say they go away and to just stick to your plan. Hang in there!

Mine is finally breaking too. I was at 222 on day 6 (down a ton of weight. ) Then I was actually UP two more pounds. .. What the heck!!?! Now I am 221 as of this morning. .. day 19.

The stall thing is very real. Glad it's going away.

Anyone attend support group meetings held by you Bariatric Surgeon office? Mine is held the first Tuesday of every month. I went but I don't know if I'll be returning. First it's kind of far from my house about 40 minutes, second it's held at 6 PM. I loved hearing the success stories of veterans Sleevers, but I get that here on fb. Question and answers session was nice since the answers were relevant to my surgeon and his recommendations.

I actually got a call this morning asking me did I want to join my surgeon Bariatric Support Group. They had a meeting coming up next wk on Thursday. I declined this month but said I'll be interested in going next month. The issue is that unless it's a club I'm joining I don't like group meetings. Especially if it revolves around me talking about my personal problems. My psychologist tried to get me to go to group therapy. I shut her down fast on that one. It's not for me. Maybe I'll check out the support group just to see what it's all about.

I'm in the DFW metroplex. At my hospital, the Bariatric nurse gave me a listing of numerous local groups and their current meeting dates. I've been to one meeting and though it was dealing with subject matter further down the road than I am today, I did get some good info. It was good for me to see real people doing the same thing that I am. There were men and women at different stages, even goal. There are stats, I hear, that people who are active in a group will be more successful. I know that when I'm in a program, if I am more active with the group, I have been more successful. Don't judge all groups by the one that you attended. Check for more in your area. I bet you will find one that is beneficial.

Just attended my first group meeting last night...it was good and will try to go as much as possible. Even thought I don't like sharing my issues. I was ok talking and there was not much people.

Attending a support group was actually a pre-op requirement for me. I really enjoyed sitting and listening to everyone. I'd love to go again now that I am post-op but it just doesn't work with my work schedule :(

        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!

      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
