@"Beni". I am ultra paranoid I'll get sick before then, I'm bored of liquids but all in all still pretty excited. Gonna spend the night at a hotel in the hospital the night before. How about you?

I picked up my prescriptions yesterday. 2 (?) Different antibiotics that I have to take tomorrow at 2pm, 3pm, and 10pm. And then I have my after surgery liquid Lotab too. Started my crazy fun bowel prep at 5pm. Getting a leg workout up and down the stairs to the bathroom ! ????

be prepared for yeast infection :)

@@Beni you can take them, I'm taking 2 percs, zinc, Calcium, Multivitamin, stool softener, and Iron and prisolec, the iron at a different time though. I think you will be fine. I break it into different times. I take the percs and zinc with prisolec, then 4 hours later I take the multi with calcium and percs, then at night iron, stool softerner and percs. They fit lol, its the Water to get them down that fills you up. Talking about stool softener, TMI WARNING*************** when will I poop? It has been like 6 days. When I had my c-section I didn't poop for 14 days!! It was hard and stuck inside of me, I had to take 15 laxatives over a 3 day period and then it was like hell getting that devil out, it was like 15 lbs tmi I'm sorry and then it wouldn't flush, I had a poop that was bigger and harder than the hole itself, I would of died I think if I didn't get it out, my doctor said I should of let the nurse take it out, they break it up inside of you or something because you can't deliver it, it was the worst thing in life, but when it came out I felt pure relief, like I never felt that in my life. My poop was literally stuck in my tunnel just trapped. I put on gloves and used vaseline and dug up in there and felt it, it was a rock. I'm sorry guys it was the worst thing next to the csection, I don't ever want that to happen to me again.

wow lol but I thought you wasn't suppose to take the multivitamin with the calcium it's suppose to be 2 hours apart because the calcium blocks the iron in the multivitamin or something like that

@ Bronxmerci. I know your pain.

A had a back injury and was on Percocet for a while. Got so constipated I had to go to emergency room. No one had told me the medicine like stalls your flow to a dead stop. It was one of the most painful experiences of my life. the worst was I still had horrible back pain but that the other issue on top.

Yes, you are supposed to have extra Iron besides the multi because menstruating women need extra

      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.
