Ok so i finally went out and got a heating pad so I'm laying on that and it's helping with the back and shoulders at least temporarily. I could cry from the amount of relief right now. Thank goodness!

I just started having that back pain right between my shoulder blades. Hurts like hell, was trying to

Work in my office a little but ago and I could hardly stand to sit there. Laying down for a bit then going for a walk maybe that will help! If you figure out the source let me know too. Lol

I just had my first food craving. I am craving a pickle like no other! I think it may be because I am sick of these sweet shakes I have been drinking for over three weeks now.

My thoughts will be on you tomorrow, but you'll do great Don't over pack because most of the stuff you probably won't need. Remember to sit back and relax a little today. The first week is a little hairy at times, but keep focusing on the losers bench you'll be sitting on come Tuesday.

Sound like gas. Not your typical gas pains, but the blow you up like a balloon and it is trying to find a place to escape. Walk, walk, walk. I have heard some say the gasx strips don't work on RNY gas and I disagree. There is the gas from Sx and gas from you eating/drinking that has no where to go now that your pouch is so small.

I'm at the hospital waiting on the nurse to come and finish my admission questions. Then off to the pre op holding area to meet with the anesthesiologist before surgery. Wish me luck as I do the same for you all!

      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.
