I had to drink Magnesium Citrate about 1 hour ago and I have felt sick and my face is flush and hot. Has anyone else felt like this?

Easterli, good luck with your surgery. 5 days and counting down. Are you nervous? I haven't been but reading some of these posts about jitters is rubbing off on me. I "Came Out" on Facebook, but I understand why some keep it private. I just wanted it out there to get support. Some family and friends who have kept it personal have reached out to me privately and I am so glad. Hope to read about everyone's experiences. Michele

I have been very nervous this week, but today was better. I think I was just anxious to get started. I have to be at the hospital at 5:0 - five hours from now.

How r u all doing? Pain? My tummy hurts alot. Feels like someone hit me hard right in the pit of my stomach with a baseball bat. And my throat is dry and hurts but the pain in my back is gone and I have no gas pain (knock on wood).

Hey everyone. Im feeling surprisingly great. I do have the gas pains and of course it feels likd ive done a million sit ups and have a running stitch in my side. But other that, im feeling good. Im getting in liquids, ive had herbal tea and chicken broth that im sipping at. Im now going to head down stairs here at the hotel to find a nice lounge chair to sleep in :)

We did it. Let our new life begin.

        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.

      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
