What you have is Hashimotos disease it causes weight gain! Once on your mess your weight will decrease because your levels will normalize. Your thyroid manages your other organs so it's very important on how the body works. I would say about 4 weeks but keep having bloods tested as your meds may have to me adjusted. I have had Hashimotos for 25 years. Even after your op you may still have to take meds. It's an immune thing. I take 200 but if you're only on 50 maybe once your weight is off you may not need it. I also read but it could be wrong as it was a dr on the Internet! lol That the majority of immune sufferers have a lot going on in the gut once this is cut off the problems i.e. Hashimotos goes with it.. I hope so Good luck stay focused its only another 4 weeks or so and be deluge the with your meds empty stomach 1st thing in the money ..

Today I start my 2 week pre-op of all liquids and salads/steamed veggies.

I found an interesting broth the other day: Millie's Spicy Tortilla Vegetable Sipping Broth. Gonna try it today. Hope it is as good as it sounds.

I looked it up. Sounds good. Sounds better than sipping regular chicken broth all day. Let me know what you think I want to order some.

It is good! It will be a great change up from chicken broth. Oh, not really spicy though.

I bought it at a local grocery store in Olympia WA. Just checked online and it is EXPENSIVE to buy on Millie's website. Amazon was even worse!. It is made in Bellevue WA so it is likely that is the reason it was easy for me to find.

I think you could make your own though. I tasted like a beef broth with some spices in it. But it was not spicy hot. Maybe even just at taco seasoning to beef broth for the flavor. I have some beef broth and might try that!

Is 3am,I'm coming up on 24 hours post op. The surgery went well, I've been up walking a few times, using my pain med and having occasional nausea, which always seems associated with belching up the gas. Looking forward to my upper gi tomorrow and that first sip of liquid!

      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.
