Anyone for September 2020?

[Sarah Crafford 3]

I’m having a sleeve done on September 10th in Mexico. My pre-op starts today. Does anyone have a nicotine problem? How are you coping before surgery and post surgery?

September 10th here! I'm celebrating my (September) birthday this weekend since I'll be a couple of days post-op on my actual birthday.

Good luck everyone!

I found out yesterday that my sleeve procedure will be on Sept. 29th. I am excited about to outcome, but beyond nervous about the surgery itself.

Isn't it just AWFUL?! I am half way through. I think most people are fine after day three, unfortunately, I am still hungry😢 and I have had a constant headache from caffeine withdrawal. I keep thinking about hard boiled eggs and plums. I don't even LIKE eggs! Six more days to go...we can do this!

How come we can’t have caffeine on the liquid diet? I’m 3 days on liquid diet & a horrible headache just started. How long does it usually last? I got really sick in the hot sun securing everything for Hurricane Laura, then anxiety as it became a category 4. Not having coffee is harder for me than all liquid diet (for now). Excited & scared for the 8th! Glad I found y’all to talk about our surgeries. Good luck on yours!

I assume you are pre-op? I guess it may be considered an appetite stimulant but perhaps they are weaning you off it pre -op rather than post-op, you will have a lot to contend with immediate post-op, you won't want to deal with withdrawal then. Caffeine will likely irritate the new stomach as it stimulates stomach acid production.

I knowwww. I am just so head hungry. I have had all my Protein and now I just wish I could go to bed so I’m not around food but...kids. Sigh. I may sneak a lean chicken breast for dinner tomorrow night and some steamed broccoli.

@MagentaMom great! We’re surgery siblings now! You’re the ONLY person I’ve seen with our date🎉🎉🎉 I thought I’d never get a surgery sis 😂 . I’m going after labor day and my Son’s birthday so that I can enjoy the festivities. Maybe one last ice cream cone😆 I heard it makes you nauseous after vsg and ice cream is my favorite! Im looking forward to healthier favorites after surgery.

where are you having your surgery done?

@MagentaMom

My surgery is the same day and my birthday is in September also. (9/22) Unfortunately wasn’t able to Celebrate it before I started the pre-op diet because they called me to tell me the date and I had to start the diet the next day.

Good luck to you!
