I too haven't been able to sleep! I blamed it on my weekly B12 nasal spray? I see my dr this Friday and will address this concern ! Cuz I'm not liking this one bit! Smh

I tried zzquil and OMG I felt this warm coating my sleeve sensation! And got scared ! lol did this happen to you too?

I agree I am sooo tired of all the sugar free junk! It tastes soo nasty to me! It actually gives me this numb sensations on my fingertips! As soon as I get to eat real food I'm not having another sugar free product.

Totally agree with you! Mine was on the 18th too!

Hernia is what I told all and I'm sticking with it. And after doing research , the hernia repair (upper GI) its the same post of diet as VSG. Go figure!?

I can relate! I had a melt down myself. I love food and love to cook and entertain the family with new recipes. And the thought of not eating as much freaked me out. But I had to think . My addiction to food got me this way and it was not going to over power me. I have a friend that is 2 years post op and eats a lot more than I do. My goal is to lose as much my first year, cuz after that my pouch can stretch a little. Hope you're feeling better! Hang in there!

Wow ! That worked out perfect for you! Very nice grandma! ????????????????

Good luck

Mine was also 1/18. I can't seem to drink enough water. How are you doing ? And I'm not hungry at all.

Paediatric Nurse ! ????????????

Thanks ????

And this is why I'm not telling family . I have ignorant cousins too that are health freaks and will absolutely judge me for Wls. ???? They don't know the struggle of having 100 plus extra pounds on them. Well wishes to you as well, and keep us posted!! ????

Couldn't have word it any better! I feel the same way. And I'm not telling anyone either.

It's 1/18. Right @ the corner ????????

I agree about being gone from work soo long may have ppl question. But I actually told a little white lie. I'm also having a major hernia repair. So that's exactly what I told my job I'm having done. They don't need any further info. lol

Good luck ! Sucks you don't have your finances support! but we are here for all the support you need ! Good luck and well wishes !

Oh wow!! I bet you're excited! I start my pre-op 1/04!! Good luck and keep us posted ! ????

I'm sure they will see the progress. Good luck ! And keep us posted. ????

How funny! I'm thinking the same will happen to me. I'm very close to my older sister, but she tells her kids everything. And they are loud, immature judgmental brats! lol ????

I didn't have to lose any weight prior to my pre-op diet that I will start soon. But every weight loss program is different. My surgeon said ok as of now try not to gain any weight, either lose weight or stay at your current weight until insurance approval. And approved 1/18. ???? Now the first weight loss program that I was on required a stupid 10% of weight loss prior to pre-op. ???? I was suppose to lose 25lbs. My insurance approved it but the stupid surgeon did not approve me cuz I only lost 17lbs. ???? sorry it's super long. I hope it helps!?

I feel the same way it's not everyone's beeswax lol and I don't have time for secretive judgmental gossip. ????

OMG I know the feeling! Initially I was going to have it at the hospital I work too, but changed locations lol

Thanks for the input!

So far only my husband and 18year old daughter know about my surgery. My 2 little boys are too young to tell. Not telling anyone else. I feel that I don't want to explain myself 100 plus times to anyone as to why I'm losing weight and why my drastic decision of wls. Plus I have very judgemental coworkers. Still undecided? Has anyone told close friends and family to only regret doing it!!?

Surgery 1/18!! Start pre-op diet in 6 days! 14 days of no food is scary! ???? ????
