When you think you are constipated and take laxatives and only get gas, because you haven't eaten anything in 5 days.

(And yes, I'm in the hospital because of stricture)

Well you won't ever be able to throw back a bottle of Water in 1 minute... or drink while eating... but the further out from surgery you get the easier it is to drink Water. It took me 15 minutes in the hospital to drink an ounce of water, but today I can drink almost like normal and don't feel thirsty. BUT you do need to make an effort to drink throughout the day because like I said, you can't just throw back a glass or two.

You get jealous of people eating and drinking water, at the same time! :o

This is something I'm wondering ...
Do I will feel thirsty forever after the sleeve?
After we Will drink again like normal people?

And your fiance. Any suggestions. I love him, but worried he's finding what I loose.

Cook smaller portions so there is only enough for supper or take the leftovers and put them in storage containers in the freezer for either a quick supper when you are running late one day or smaller portions for lunch.

When you've thrown out most of your underwear, because when you are sleeping, gas isn't always gas!! lol

Well I've just started this journey and am still Pre-Op but you've certainly just terrified me.

I'm commando all the time, gym shorts for sleeping and those are not cheap >.>

You might be pre-op WLS if you look around and all friends and co-workers have the Facebook app open and you've got the Bariatric-Pal app open doing research and reading stories.

When the sight disabled guy who owns the store in your building says, "You look tired and drawn out."

True story, the almost blind and told me that. I was floored and didn't know how to respond.

      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.
