Missviscious

Hi everyone, I have a question I had my surgery on 7/3/14 I doing great feel good and I've been doing a lot of walking I'm down 22 pounds including my pre-op diet. Now my question is did anyone start the next phase of their diet be4 it was time to? And do you think that effected your weight. I know I have started to eat meat and wonder if that's why I only lost 22 pounds only 12 since surgery please give information about your journey

Thanks for the feedback, I'm didn't stray to far off my diet I just rushed alil in to the next week instead of staying on track but I did much better today.

Hi everyone, I had my surgery on 7/3/14 I had to go see my pcp today I'm down 22 pounds and I'm loving it i can't wait to lose more weight. My doctor took me off my blood pressure medication so that's good. I'm glad to hear every ones doing good, and the couple I read that still in pain just know everyday it gets better.

Actually I'm great I'm able to drink my fluids and getting around good. The pain is minimal I only take my pain meds like twice a day I got a headache out know where today but I read that is normal cause of the rapid weight loss. I haven't weighted myself yet I decided to wait till my first follow up appointment to see how much I lose. I'm just focusing on getting my Protein and fluids in a walking my but off.

Thanks @ babySheldon I don't know the difference between the two yet, every time I sip something feels like my stomach snatch it and it's gonna it start grumbling and growling making all types of noise and I feel like I'm starving, but I'm staying strong and doing as the doctors told me thanks for the advice really need it as I'm walking this journey Thanks alot

I wasn't self pay and my wait wasn't that long o started my journey the end of April and had my surgery 7/3 , but my insurance didn't require me to lose weight or do any pre- approval diet. Only thing I had to do was pay co - payments and admission into hospital. I'm so thankful for that.

today's my day too! I don't go to the hospital for a couple hours.. Good luck!

@@finallyfree101 thanks for asking I came home yesterday, I had to stay an extra day cause I was nauseous and my stomach felt like i had a stomach virus, but the nurses and doctors worked hard to find me a medication that would take that feeling away and now I feel much better. I still feel a little queasy at times but they sent me home with the med so I'm ok with that. The pain is so minimum I only take the pain meds sometimes, I'm getting my fluids in with no problem and what's funny @@finallyfree101 I was still hungry after I been drinking so I was asking a friend what to do she told me get some crackers and I did but I got so scared to death to eat them I put them up and told myself I will wait. I'm glad I did listening to the yogurt confession...lol. I walked yesterday not bad at all and then I danced alil to today I plan on going food shopping so I'll be walking around today also. Well ladies that's my journey so far I have not got on a scale since I left the hospital. My plan us to wait for my first follow up appointment to weigh in hope I lost 20 to 30 pounds by then my appointment is 7/16 so I'm going to walk my buttons off till then.

Oh my dear, you're struggling from the worst head game that you've ever been involved with .....you still want food and your brain is still presurgery.....you cannot have crackers too soon ....you will be miserable ....work very very very very hard to continue to taking your clear fluids that'll help so you and follow your doctor's orders...... the head hunger games are brutal and like a demon .....but don't let it defeat you.... you can be strong I promise...... it will go away.. And after you have started to lose some weight and start getting into a routine and you understand how your little tummy works you will be able to eat good healthy regular food with no problem .....food is coming back....

Well I was sleeved on 7/3/14 I'm still in the hospital the first day was hard I kept getting nauseous and when I tried to throw up nothing would come out because my stomach was empty. It really felt like I had a stomach virus but my doctor was really good he kept trying different medication till he found what helped, it's a day later and I'm feeling a lot better ready to go home I really haven't been in much pain, nothing I can't handle at least with pain meds. I'm ready to get back to life and start losing weight. .. hope everyone else who had there surgery is doing great

Hi yall in 3 days it's going down so nervous but so ready

@@finallyfree101 Hi I've been looking for someone who was getting the surgery same day as me and here you are hope we can keep in touch...

Hi, I have a question for post - op I'm having my surgery on 7/3/14 and I'm due to start my summer session in college. Do anyone think that would be a bad idea. I have heard of people going back to work in a week. I figured I took two a off work and my class is days a week so I can recuperate the rest of the time I'm not at work. A couple of family members been saying I'm doing to much and now I'm second guessing myself please give me an advise you can thanks

Hi again yall as I said my date is 7/3/14, I'm 33 years old have 4 children 17,15,7,@ 5. My weight is 315 pounds be4 I started my pre-op diet I haven't weighted myself since and I won't until the day of the surgery. I really want to do this first for myself, this is the biggest I've ever been and I'm unhappy looking at myself, it disgust me and getting dress erk's me as well I walk around like it don't bother me but inside it hurts that I have gotten this big. I feel unattractive to my husband and I have one daughter out my four kids and want to feel good about myself and show her that being healthy is important. I want to be able to enjoy spending time with them keeping up with their energy level, also I have made so many positive changes I think this will complete everything and I will feel great and look great as well. I'm a nervous wreck every day that gets closer I get more of a wreck but I do know now that I will be showing up I was second guessing myself but no longer I just pray that God keep his loving arms around me and protect me from any danger. Looking forward to going through this with yall

Yes I'm 7/3/14 very nervous

I'm having mines 7/3/14 and I'm nervous wreck
