T-Minus 23 hours too sleeved, entering Magnesium Citrate phase......



Recommended Posts

singing... tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be sleeved tomorrow, its only a day away........ wow, so close now, cant believe the time has arrived. Start my "cleaning out the plumbing drink" in a n hour. I'm nervous, excited, on edge, the whole sh'bang. I just feel I'm missing something for post op home needs but I can have someone get me if I need it. I have to pack my hospital stay bag and figure out what I am bringing. I've got great info here, so I have gasx strips, chapstick, anything else besides the obvious change of clothes and my phone or tablet? ANy items that were great to have when you got home? I had read a recliner was a great help so I got one last week. I also got a mug warmer too.

I'll also try and post from hospital if I can.

thanks for all the support!! love this site and group

Best of luck!!!

The only thing that came in handy was a "buddy" to walk the halls with after surgery. It really helps to get up and get moving.

I had "plumbing" issues after my surgery in that I was not able to go to the bathroom for several days. It was not fun and a bit painful. I had to end up taking the magnesium citrate and it eventually helped.

Good luck and keep everyone posted!!

Good luck to you and speedy recovery! I'm a little over a week out before surgery and I can't contain my excitement! I don't even want to think how I will be the day before :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
