I just want to go into any store that has a Miss and a plus size and go to the "cool" side which offers great clothes and not have to mill through the granny outfits!

Ok so post op day 2 sucks!!! No getting around it. I now understand the "just try to stay hydrated" I've never experienced nausea the way I did yesterday...despite zofran and compazine around the clock! The only good news is I'm now post op day 3 and much better! Still slightly nauseas with certain movements and oddly enough when my 5 week old twins scream it goes right to my stomach (my partner carried not me), but able to hydrate. Still can't imagine eating...have no appetite whatsoever. The other thing to remind people getting vsg...they pump you up with so much Fluid during and after surgery that you shouldn't weigh yourself in the week after or you'll get discouraged! My tech partner was s/p vsg in September and is down 85 lbs...she warned me of this and for shits and giggles I got on the scale...I started this process at 325...down to 310 for surgery day...was 316 post op day 2. Luckily sh had shared this tidbit with me. Ok well I'm off to keep hydrating Thanks again for everyone's wellwishes and good luck to those who just had surgery or those with upcoming surgeries!!! xoxo

Thanks guys...I know I just joined the tram but I LOVE being on the losers bench! Just did 3 laps. Only thing getting me is these stinking waves of nausea, but if that's it I'll take it! Feel so blessed thanks again for all the support!

Hello all! I am so happy all went well! Feel pretty loopy right now from the morphine PCA and my mouth (despite frequent use of a mouth sponge) is drier than the Sahara desert...but other than that feel great. I can feel that my stomach was manipulated, but it's not that bad. Maybe I'll feel different after they get me up to walk but all the reading I've done on this site says walk, walk, walk! I honestly don't know how I would have handled this without all te advice I've been reading on this site. So for that THANK YOU for everybody that has posted about their experience!

Right there with you guys! I have to be at the hospital at 0530 for my 0800 surgery. So excited but a little nauseas! Pray for me and I'll pray for you! Good luck!

Really cool I know so many people are out there getting the same thing on Tuesday! Anyway we can all keep in touch on here after surgery? Don't know how this works...

Starting clear liquids in T minus a few hours :-/ Ugh! Reality sinks in...

Just found this website randomly but am very excited to have done so! I'm having my surgery Tuesday too...and I've been pretending (aside from the all Protein diet) that it's just another week...but I'm starting to feel the butterflies. I agree, we will be fine and it is the beginning of a new life. Just nice to know there is a support group out here!
