Remember to click on the Preacher's Prayer Thread@ Mass Mom. Now when exactly is your Surgery Date? A week and a little more to my own on September 5th. As other facets of my life aren't great I'm moving forward with this!

Hey 👋🏽 everyone... my sleeve was 7/18 and I’m completely blessed with my surgery... my only problem is that my body doesn’t like Liquid Protein since surgery... the dr said sometimes that happens and we don’t know it until after surgery... the liquid Protein was giving me dumping syndrome and a major hormonal flush... my diet was advanced prior to discharge.. the only complaint is that I’m nauseous but my dr warned me that nausea is the new signal from the stomach.. when I need to eat I get nauseous and I eat and it goes away.. when I’m dehydrated I get nauseous.. I think that will get better with time... in reference to being tired... yes I’m easily exhausted and my endurance with have to build up.. my dr said it usually lasts for about 6 months... I’m not
Completely compliant with my vitamins.. and working on that... some days I get my Protein in and not my fluids or I get my fluids and not my protein... they said that’s normal... I’ve lost 31 pounds since surgery and I did measure myself before surgery but not since surgery... but I notice more inches on my body... I’m 2 pant sizes down!!! This is a duplicate entry from July sleeve surgeries!!!!

10 more Days and counting them down Eagerly. September 5th is coming, don t want to be called "Square" so Baby,I Will Be There! Don't suppose my surgeon Dr Needleman is sitting home thinking about,me, but I am about him. Ragweed season is underway strongly in Central. Ohio, hope he doesn't sneeze and I end up with a misshapen pouch on the wrong side of my stomach, now THAT could,be,problematic. Just want an well-draining turkey egg with its dime-sized st9ma into my jejuneum. Don't think it's Too Much to ask!

I am kind of freaking out right now. Surgery is tomorrow and i just had a huge wave of emotions hit me. I burst into tears. I have had numerous surgeries and never had this happen before. I hope I can calm down or its gonna be a long day and night.

It’s probably anxiety and excitement which can obviously be overwhelming. You’ve got this! Your new life begins soon. Sending prayers and positive vibes. See you on the post op side 😉

@ALFxRNY Thank you. I was fine and all ready then out of nowhere it hit me!

Hang in there dear, I was freaking out too, I blinked and here I am 5 days post op!!! You will be fine!! Pray to center yourself and realize that we are under His protection, you just realize it more during surgery. Everything is risky and every time u sit in your car you are taking a higher risk than surgery! Write down ALL the reasons u r doing this, emotional, physical, social etc and read over it multiple times to get your head in the right place. Then look at some pictures of success stories and get excited!! Prayers and love. Let us know how you do!
