Recommended Posts

Today Im doing bad..Im going down to Mexico tomorrow.I cant live with this. I do not beleive it is from my filled being too tight. It feels like something is broken. It is not reflux or heartburn.The prevacid has not worked I have taken it twice. I have been doing the Maloxx and yesterday it worked great but today nothing. I'm in pain and uncomfortable. I will let you all know what happens. I'm miserable and a little scared. Keep your fingers crossed

Oh Michelle :) I'm so sorry to hear this.

I am, however, very glad that you have probably one of the best band docs and he is available to you so readily. You're very lucky in that sense. Please do keep us posted. I'm definitely going to be praying it is only something very minor. You've done so well. I sure hope nothing slows that down. :D Good luck to you.

Hi Michelle,

I too will be thinking about you. I really hope it is something that can be tended to on the spot. Please be sure to keep us posted.

Hi Leatha,

I did get a copy of the message you sent about my pills in my e-mail, but it did not show up on the boards??? At any rate, I only take 4 pills that are medication (and they are pretty small), and I bought chewable daily Vitamins, Vitamin C, and Calcium. I too now take them one at a time even though they are small. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to take Tylenol? Thanks for your concern Leatha (an unusual name like mine!!)

Sultana, you can dissolve most pills in a tablespoon of Water for ease in swallowing. You can use liquid Tylenol or the caplets that can easily be broken in half before taking (and dissolved if needed.) If you are taking any time released prescriptions, those can be changed to regular pills. Please be careful with pills. They can get stuck, set there, and cause problems. Hope you're feeling better!

Hmm. I see the post up there, but sometimes this board does weird things. lol.

Tylenol - I've taken with Water alone, however, you don't want to let it sit in your pouch. Drink enough water to wash it through thoroughly. You might even consider keeping liquid Tylenol on hand as it's much easier to wash through.

        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
