@@dpressleymsn You can do it. You can take liquid Tylenol to help with the headaches.

Sleepless in Katy. Seems I've conquered hanger on day 8 of the preop diet. 5 more days to surgery on the 3rd. Historically, I'd carb up. Fill my belly and go to bed in anticipation of the sugar coma. Life is less simple now. Any ideas on getting sleep when exercise doesn't help and food is purposefully limited?

I found out yesterday that insurance approved me. The dr said my surgery will be sometime in Aug. Looking forward to having some friends who are going thru same thing as I am.

@@Shrinkinqtpi I've been using OTC sleep aids. NyQuil ZZZZ helps me. I suffer from allergies as well so I take Benadryl when I need to. I've heard lavender essential oils are supposed to help as well.

@@WW0747 Thank you for the idea about NyQuill. I am a self-proclaimed queen of essential oils and have used lavender, vetiver, and frankincense in various combinations to no avail. It works on my husband! I have a CPAP and am happy with it. Allergies are a problem for me too so Benadryl is a real option. Thank you for the ideas.

I made it. Surgery went well. A little sore but otherwise feeling ok. Feels like I've done 1000 sit-ups. I didn't sleep well last night but hopefully I'll make up for it tonight.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I've been trying to consume a 10 calorie pack of Jello for two days. I think today I will be finished with it. Just an example of what it is like on day 2 post op. Water is going well. I think I will get in at least 60 oz. today. Meds are done for the day except another dose of Omeprazole. I also need to go by my local pharmacy so I can get help with the Lovenox shots. I bent the needle yesterday before use. FYI...don't take an Oxy and try to watch a video. Epic fail for me.

My surgeon did not require a liquid diet before the surgery. LOVE my surgeon. He made me so comfortable like I knew him for a long time. Very personable. His whole staff was the greatest. Even the staff at the hospital was great. I very thankful the insurance company made me change clinics.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
