Ill be starting my liquid preop diet in the next few weeks. I decided to give up caffeine/carbonation first so it wasn't all at once. Yesterday was my first full day without caffeine..I felt tired and cranky at work and then at the end of my work day had the worst headache ever..came home felt like I had the flu or was withdrawing from heroin..body aches, sweating, shivering..basically slept from 6 pm to 5 this morning. Now I feel fine. Is it possible the detox took 24 hours and now it's over? I've always heard stories of caffeine taking a week to get over. Any insight?

She still hasn't tested me..whoa

I'm guessing it takes 2 weeks to shrink the liver since that is the standard length of the pre op diet

My friend I went to nursing school with got sleeved today. We have been going through this process together and she promised to text me as soon as she woke up. It's been 5 hours since she was going in. How soon were u able to make a call?

Feeling like my surgery is never going to happen. Had psych 5 weeks ago, she said I passed but hasn't done the paperwork..won't return phone calls to me or the bariatric center. The girl I started this process with is getting sleeved Monday. It's so discouraging. I want to make an appointment with the shrink and be like ok here's a free hour, put my paperwork through. But then she might think I'm crazy. I feel like giving up and like my surgery will never happen

OP did u poop yet

I forgot to say he's 5'10 and 170 lbs. he just always complains about having man tits, which he doesn't just a little jiggly..but it's like he complains and complains but doesn't wanna do anything to change anything. Idk maybe I'm overreacting.

I'm a people fixer. I thought I could inspire him to be better. That was dumb.

Is it just me or does the divorce rate of post extreme weight loss people seem high? I find myself thinking about divorce as I go through this process because I am constantly on the grind to better myself for my family...psychically, mentally, educationally...this man is not. He's perfectly happy with his high school diploma and man tits...blah

I used to smoke but quit over a year ago. However, I went out about a month ago and smoked about 5 cigarettes. Nothing since. Does anyone know how long it stays in the bloodstream? I'm terrified I messed my surgery up for one night

Lmao my boobies hold my phone too

Well I finally "came out" on FB and asked for no negative comments. I actually said in my post "if you have any negative comments, kindly shove them up your a**". This was followed by an overwhelming amount of supportive, positive messages. And then this beyotch. She had to go and say "my friends mom died from complications of dumping syndrome and now her children are motherless." Go ahead and shove that one up your ass lady.

Thank you. I get 4-5 (never 4 lol) patients too.

How long did you take off of work? I'm seriously stressed about this as I can only afford like 2 weeks..I work on a med/surg floor so it can require a lot of lifting/pulling

Congrats! You are gorgeous!

Itchy means healing

Wow!! Extremely bruised but the incisions themselves look fine to me

That's it! I've been patient long enough. Tomorrow makes 3 weeks since the shrink said I passed. If she doesn't send the paperwork to my surgeon by tomorrow im going to sit on her! I want my date so bad I could scream

How tall are u? I'm 5'9 same starting weight and sizes
