I had my surgery on 10/8 (it was bypass but that post is so quiet... [emoji852]). Hoping to get discharged this morning. I have had no urges to consume anything but I'm making myself drink some warm decaffeinated tea right now. I just cant wait to be in my own bed!

Hi. I had my surgery yesterday. Just got the ok to start sipping 1oz cups. Have to hold down 4 in an hour. Can’t wait to go home. Pain and sore...yes but worst part is nausea. My body dry heaving.. also exhausted. Of course I’m wishing I didn’t do this. I want to feel healthy bit I’m tired of surgeries. If this doesn’t work, I’m not doing anything any more. I’m just cranky and want to go home.

They're making you drink 4 ounces in an hour, the day after surgery? Monsters. It took me DAYS to get to 4 oz/hour.

Be strong.

My surgery is scheduled for October 17, 2018 and I am currently on a liver reduction diet and I've cheated several times, and drank alcohol once, and taken aspirin and ibuprofen. Are they gonna know? And will they still do the surgery? I'm worriedemoji45.png

Aspirin and ibuprofen (and naproxen and basically every pain medicine except Tylenol/acetaminophen) are super dangerous within a week of surgery, both because it interacts with blood thinners and because it impacts your stomach lining. My team wanted me off them for 10 days before, but 1 week is the minimum. If your surgery is on the 17th, you can't have any more of them. If you do, you need to delay the surgery. My team did allow Tylenol the week of surgery, so if you have pain, try that.

The cheats and the alcohol have to stop, too, immediately. More than a week before, eh, we're human. But within a week of surgery, no, you have to follow your team's rules. You've got one week to make your liver as small as possible. A large, slippery liver makes the surgery more risky, because it gets in the surgeon's way.

It's a week. (And then another week or more after surgery.) You can do it!

Really? I’m just trying to do whatever I can. I’m finding I do better with warm liquids.

The first few days post surgery Bone Broth (hot bone broth) was all my pouch wanted. It's going to be a lot of trial and error, just take your time and experiment with what your pouch tells you is OK

I ahd my surgery on 10/4... does anyone else chew food and spit it out, just to get some taste and chewing going on??? GAWWWDDDD this is so hard! I want to punch anyone who says this is the easy way out right in their judgmental noses!! My poor kids are feeling the wrath of my hanger... I have never salivated over the thought of scrambled eggs before.

The pureed food stage sounds like a dream come true at this point. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

I was just sleeved yesterday . I get to go home tonight. I’m so nervous that I’m gonna fail. If chewy and spitting makes you mentally better, don’t beat yourself up.

      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.
