Oh my goodness! I'm so happy to hear that you'll be ok and that it was caught in time. Please rest and take good care of yourself. You poor dear! If I had more long distance minutes left I'd call you, but I fear I've already gone over them for the month!

Sending mega huggies out to you girl!

Trish, oh my woman!! I hope you're sleeping soundly now and recovering from your ordeal. It's amazing the drugs they can throw at an infection these days, but you'll be feeling better very soon. Rest up!!

Thank Goodness you went to the doc today, you are on some pretty heavy meds that will particularly help with the inflammation and swelling, which will help you feel much better and the good thing is they usually work pretty quickly.

Now I hope you're resting and maybe putting some moist hot towels on your face to help with the pain. I'll keep an eye out for your posts over the next few days and pray that from this point on everything will be okay!

Thanks for letting us know what happened, everyone was so worried.

Cindy

Thank you all so much....

Cindy I didnt think of hot towels.. but Im going to try it..

I have been in a lot of pain this evening... and the stink seems to get worse, maybe because its working it self out.. I rinsed a couple more time and large amout of yellow mucus came out I hope that is a good sign..

I took 8 Predisone today.. tomorrow I take 7 the next day I take 6... and so on until the last day I take 1

I finally ate a little today... I wasnt eatting much because I was so scared and I got very weak from it.. but once I had a bit to eat I felt better...

I think it will all get better... and Im going to learn to be much more careful and try never to PB again... Im sorry I had to go through this to make me relize that I need to watch out more of what I am doing and what I am putting in my mouth.

Thanks again everyone for your wonderful suport and caring. I dont know what I would do without you all

((((((((((((((((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
