Congrats...


I have a question for all the post surgery peeps. I am having issues swallowing my medications (surgery was 19 days ago) If i do manage to swallow it , it hurts really bad. This problem started yesterday- anyone experiencing similar issues?

I have several meds to take and most of them ive been told to crush with a pill crusher. I mix those with a little warm chicken broth or a little Protein Shake and take it down like a shot. My birth control pill is so small i can swallow it. I would double check with ur dr about which ones you should be crushing. It has been rough for me sometimes i do a couple and come back to it in a few mins. But yah check in with the dr and give yourself enough time to find what works for you. Good luck ❤

Thanks... they were working fine. Just yesterday I could not swallow it. And my doctor says anything bigger than a dime size is to big to swallow so I made sure to get tiny pills. It just freaked me out because it wouldn’t go down almost like I had something blocking it and came right back up. Hurt so bad. I will try and crush it to go with my yogurt.

How are you all getting on?

I have entered the paranoid not lost enough weight yet stage, I know it is irrational and I know the theory. Can’t help feeling a tad disappointed though. MGBP was in the 7th, lost 10lbs, then gained 3.. [emoji23]

Feeling great though, no health issues at all, and for that, I am extremely grateful.

Hugs and prayers to all who've had surgery already. I pray you are feeling better each day and able to accomplish post-surg goals with ease!!

To all who are still yet to come in February! Remember the liquid diet from hell is only temporary and we can endure anything for 2 weeks! I can attest that once you're on the other side, the Liquid Protein phase is a cinch to undertake. No hunger, easy satiety with the liquids, no feeling of deprivation or food angst! It's hard to imagine such a severe about face once post-surgery but it's true!!

I'm doing great. It's now 4 days post and I'm up walking, drinking normally, yesterday got in 98oz of liquids including Proteins. This morning had thinned down yogurt for brekky and did great. Now having Protein iced tea and loving it. So all is well. Have already walked 2 times today and will do another stint here after lunch. Naps are my friend! :D Oh how I love mah naps! :D

Cheers everyone!!

I just had the sleeve on 2-22-18.
I was not prepared for the level of pain I’ve been experiencing. Anyone else struggling with the pain?

I’m getting sleeved tomorrow too! Can’t quite believe this is really happening, started this journey almost a year ago. I’m sort of scared as to what to expect after the surgery, but not the actual surgery. I’m ready to get it over with too! Good luck to you!

      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.
