Looks like OP is no longer a member. People who post these cries for help and then disappear scare me. Hoping she is okay. ????

How are you?

I just did dr v on the 7th. It was fine. He is a nice guy and I have never met nicer nurses. I had to go back to get two stiches over my drainage hole, but I am on day 3 post op and feeling fine.

My flight is tomorrow????????????

Anyone visited the Cancun pharmacies? Good deal on dissolvable pain meds? Did nurses visit you the night of surgery? I found this annoying when I got my appendix out, but now I am hoping for it.

Lol... Dr stranger mcmessageboard

I am self pay so I will still be approved by the surgeon if I go a little lower. I went from for 40 to 39 bmi during the first week of pre op. I think you should actually work on the proper pre-op diet to increase the chance of pre op success-which means you will drop a few lbs. Wear tons of clothes for the weigh in, wear all your jewelry, an actual pound of makeup, lean to right if it's an old fashion scale, think heavy thoughts, put you hands on your hips????????

I have had h-pylori before, the drugs knocked me out. You make me nervous. What if I have something like that when I get to Mexico? I have been washing my hands and taking vitamins, but like txcoon I might not be having symptoms of anything.

August 7th, 2015.

I am near downtown Fort Lauderdale. Surgery August 7!

I am on day four and I broke down and had lettuce and cucumbers with fresh squeezed lemon , salt and pepper. It tasted like Christmas!!! My coordinator told me it was ok. I was so obsessed with food and my hunger that I started forgetting stuff at work.

I have had that feeling that I need to tell morbidly obese people about bariatric surgery. I feel like I didn't know that the process and the cost could be affordable and I wish someone would have told me sooner, but I imagine that hearing this from a complete stranger would not be well received.

I think that the thought of eating healthy has you feeling deprived. You are eating more unhealthy as a way of restoring balance. Stop thinking that you are going to feel deprived. Think that you will be satisfied with less and since you can't eat much you are gonna have put the right things in.

Thank you; however, I am not on any medications right now so I am afraid to start any at this point. I was hoping for non- pharmaceutical remedies

Already I have had to say that I have eaten already or just that I'm not hungry. It is amazing how much food is a part of social interactions. I don't think that I will stop going to things. I don't want to get depressed sitting at home alone all the time.

I am watching nothing but Netflix for the next few months. I am on day three of liquid diet and these food commercials are killing me...slowly.

I am on day 2 and I keep getting this heartburn and indigestion. I am eating yogurt and protein shakes and broth as part of my diet. I don't know what could be causing it.

Turns out that that pea protein turned my vegetable broth to pea soup. Tastes great, a little salty, but at least it Breaks up the protein shake milky sugar rut. It's 7g of protein per cup.

I bought unflavored pea protein to add to broth. Pre op starts tomorrow, but I am trying things tonight.

I love Thai. Will adding chillies to my post op both kill my new stomach ?

I am still preop, but what if you put that crystal light mix and water in the blender until it got frothy? Froth for fiz?

I sit most of the time. From time to time I have to interact with people. I guess I have have to figure how to interact with people for non food centered things. Are you walking? How much can you do?

Well I am 32 and I am strangely not nervous about the surgery, but about working after only a week off. I am generally a quick healer, but I hear some people took a month off. I am nervous that I will be freakish and not lose any weight after the surgery. I am getting my surgery in Mexico and I don't know if the diet they gave me is strict enough. I am working out meal plans from now. Turns out I like cottage cheese. Are you near Fort Lauderdale?

How are you recovering. I go in on August 7th and I live in broward. I would love to keep in touch via forum/email/text/my fitness pal but I haven't let fb know I am having vsg and I would like to keep it that way, it least for now.

I am scheduled for August 7tth in Cancun
