Know that when you arent feeling well right after surgery that it will be better the next day..I kept asking if I would always feel like that and they assured me that its the same song second verse with this surgery. it takes a couple days to be completely out of the anestisia fog and once that is over with you will start feeling like yourself again. Remember you are stronger then you think and this is just the beginning of the rest of your life. Drink as much Water as possible and focus on your hydration more than Protein at first. You will be fine and you will be happy you did this cause I am 3 weeks out today and I feel amazing.

Don't get discouraged during the pre-op. The head hunger is difficult for most of us, but the pre-op is a fantastic kickstart to the post-op weight loss.

Feel free to rant on here if you're hating the pre-op and we'll help get ya through it!

Best of luck and keep us updated!

April 8th here too. The head hunger has been harder to battle than the physical. Good luck next Wednesday!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
