Today was my first day back at work since surgery. It wasn't bad at all. In the afternoon, I felt pain where my port is but that's it.

The problem I did have was I got so busy working that I'd forget to drink. 20 - 30 minutes would go by and I'd see my bottle sitting there so then instead of sipping, I'd take a gulp and pay for it with discomfort for a few minutes.

I'm seriously thinking of putting a pop up reminder on my computer every 5 minutes to take a sip of Water. That way I won't forget.

I love the computer pop up idea. I always forget too, and live by my computer agenda... so this would help.

Lynette, my dentist is like your doctor, my lord he is HOTT! i'm lying in that chair looking at him blues eyes, ahhhhhhhhhh my lord! i can't wait to go to the dentist when i've lost my weight, had my boob job and tummy tuc! ah yeah he's gonna look weather he likes it or not!!!

I've gone to get laser hair removal on my upper lip and chin. The doctor at the clinic is so beautiful, I suddenly find myself looking for more hair that needs removal !!!! He's new to Canada, from Czechslovacia (spelling off), so his English is hard to follow. I DON'T CARE... He could be telling me anything... doesn't matter, just talk and let me look at you!!!

Icybreeze,

On the potatoes, my Dr. doesn't like carbs period, so no fruits, no potatoes, nothing that you would normally want to put in a blender to try to turn into a shake or mushy. That's probably why I haven't had a day yet where I've consumed even 600 calories since two days before my surgery. So, it's been ten days since I've had anything more substantial than Soup, Jello, and Protein Shakes.< /p>

To All,

My bubble bath was fantastic last night, so I took another one tonight. How I missed those this past week. I've changed my mind and decided that maybe my port is directly under the big incision rather than below it, not sure if that's how it is or not. I had thought I felt it a little lower. I've got more soreness today than the past two days for some reason. Perhaps because of working all day again. No energy with this few calories to work out. Work pretty much takes it out of me.

QUESTION - How many of y'all were private pay like me? Insurance doesn't like to cover this surgery unless you're over a certain BMI and have co=morbidities, so I lost out on both fronts. Still think it will be worth every cent in the long run!

You guys are so funny w/the hot doc stories!!!! Wish I could find a nice single one...

Oh yeah, guess who showed up for tomorrow??? Aunt Flo! She was to s'posed to be here last week. I purposefully changed my birth control patch to make sure she wasn't here during surgery, but nooooo...oh well.

It's all of your faults (except the men). You know how they say women who hang together get their cycles in sync??? Well so many of you had your Aunt Flow during surgery, so I couldn't help but follow suit. LOL!

This is too weird. When you were posting your's I was posting mine... with the same info. It must be the female "In Sync" band !!

        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
