C I am so excited for you. You are going to do great!

WYD Yeah that would be gross for me, so I am sure it is double gross for a man.

HP, yikes snakes is right. Probably a good thing Mr. BG was not with me though. He certainly would have unleashed his inner sissy girl.

Well the itty bitty head ache became a Migraine. I've had worse, like I didn't have to go to the hospital this time. What a mess. I live a fully scheduled life and I don't have time for the innterrupptions. -gawd, that's really wrongly spelled- but I don't care. Needless to say, I did not ride. I would have been chuckin' on the side of the trail.

My dog got a friend's tampon out of the trash at my house once, she was mortified, the dog was pretty pleased with herself and her tastey treat.

Snakes creep me out, but worms are worse. I can't stand them, I can't fish, not like I have ANY desire to, but the night crawlers are GROSS!!!

ZZ,

I was told no ibuprofin because it's rough on the stomach. So I only do aceteminophen.

My baby's momma is a RT and talks about sputum being the butter on their bread. It' grosses me out to no end.

Hi guys and gals! Y'all have a good day? I'm all set for surgery tomorrow! YAY!!!!! I am SSSOOOOOO excited!

ZZ: Ibuprofen can literally 'burn' a hole in your stomach or esophagus. It's very important that you drink a lot of Water when you take it to ensure that it actually goes down. It can get stuck to the sides and wreak havoc. Because you can't guzzle water with a Band, it increases your risk of ulcerations. Most docs say no more NSAIDS at all...so really pay attention to what you're taking unless your doc says otherwise.

Yay C!! You're going to have the best day ever tomorrow!!! Ahh, all the free drugs... Lol.

Thanks for the info on ibuprofen. I took tylenol today... which doesn't do shit for me. I'm still in pain (low back) and my head is slamming. Lol. When I took ibuprofen I'd usually take it with some pudding to help it slide down. And then I'd drink Water. I can feel when solid things go through my band, it's a slight discomfort, so I'm pretty sure I don't currently have any holes in mu tummy.

I have been having some indigestion though, since my fill last week. It better not be too tight! Lol. I'm sooo not going in for an unfil. I;ll just live on TUMS until I figure it out.

I hit my 100+ mark at the doctir today as well, and I got my picture taken, and am not going back to see him until June 3....I will be right past my 1 year mark.I am setting some serious goals. But what was exciting is that I lost 22 lbs since I was there last month!!! WOHOOOOOOOOOOO

        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
