I can't lie - the first night was just awful. I vomited seven times! The pain was unbearable at times but it only lasted twenty hours. Now I am doing very well and drinking plenty of Gatorade and broth and cool fresh water. I even get to enjoy a popsical here and there. I am happy I got this surgery, and Doctor Mariano Covarrubias was a terrific, professional, gentle doctor.

Oh God! Horrible! Make sure they give you PLENTY of IV fluids to make up for that! I got sick after my knee surgery in July, so this surgery they super ramped up the anti-nausea meds (like 3 different types). I was woozy when I tried to walk, but no tossing up. Glad you are feeling better! The first few days are sucky, but after that is is uphill!

Need to get over myself, but to me, 11 lbs in 16 days after Sleeve is less than I thought I would have occurred. I know all the things everyone says, but ugh.

Got my soap box out again... I should put away the keyboard. LOL

Do not dare drink "Kale Blaster" a week after surgery..pretty obvious now why

3-4 Days after surgery is no joke. Hurting and cranky and sipping my water.

Diet Fail: Did good on day two of my carb diet..until I fell asleep. I woke up about a hour later, thristy and confused. Drank glass of lemonade juice and ate a fajita taco..then "woke" up and thought. Crap!! I was SO out of it, then I ate some other crap I should not have (chocolate milk! and corn chips). Jesus..Get it together. Today is day three of my attempt. I WILL drink more water today, as that was likely was triggered it. I had fallen asleep with a nice cup of tea by my hand..had.

@Fredbear I have a teenager, although I am thinking that he can do plain/crystal light water for awhile. The chips came with the Angus steak tacos from across the street, we don't have chip/cookie bags in the house. I will say, yesterday, was MUCH better. I went into work. I DID eat some more of those stupid chips in the morning, so carb count was off, but, nothing else bad for the whole day! That is important, as the evenings are when I fail, so I am now 24 hours without excessive carbs. 10 days left of pre-surgery. Hope it is enough to count. Yesterday I had jerky, hamburger (no bun, no catsup)..then later some Fajita meat and pecans, Sugar free jello and tea...I made a pot of boiled eggs and will do some other prep today. I am also cutting my caffeine, which is HORRIBLE. Kill me slowly or kill me cold turkey-not sure which is worse

Hard to stay on the pre-op diet. Two days and I crashed. Day one, dinner invite turned out to be pizza. Last night, ate beans, rice, tortilla..need to low-carb it for now less than 14 days. If I can't do this..how the fk is this going to work!!!

Got my date! AND the date I wanted! And my Dr is super cute
Like, can we kiss first.-
Dr. Acheson from Southwest Bariatrics here in Austin. He has EYE contact and easy going manner, soft Texas accent and YES, I would love to do all the fun things
His site says: Dr. Acheson received his medical degree from Louisiana State University Medical School in New Orleans. Dr. Acheson’s surgical training was obtained at Brooke Army Medical Center in Fort Sam Houston, TX, where he also completed a Trauma Research Fellowship. During his 11 years of active military service in the United States Army, he spent three deployments as a trauma and general surgeon in multiple regions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Mondays suck. It's a grey rainy one here in DFW, and I'd rather be curled up in bed with a good book.

I do not want to adult today, i just want to go back to my comfortable bed. The only thing that could make today better is if TWD came back on tonight. I'm ready to see who got to meet Lucille! Can it be October yet? lol

Went to store, used a mortozied cart (because of my ACL knee surgery TWO weeks ago). My teenager was Mortified. Saying that this was like my "600 lb life) and that I needed to lose weight (duh, WLS planned for Nov). I laughed it off, but also realized that if I don't have surgery/lose weight, I am headed for motorized cart & how hard it would be.

You guys are cracking me up! Mow The Kid down indeed!!
I would SO smack a person who actually SAID I should be walking! Those are the same fools that tell women to breastfeed in the restroom. Luckily, at 5 10 and resting bitch face, I never had to do that
I just need to do PT..like right now! I need the strength to stop wearing the brace, but since it is hard to move around, it is a pain.
@Cervidae I also had mensicus repair and trim. They shaved all the fuzzy off my bones. Ick City!
Thanks ya'll!

Why is "see a therapist" the answer to everything for some people? I mean, there's nothing wrong with seeing a therapist, but it's not the end all be all to life.

IDK, it usually does not work for me. It CAN help to speak your problems out loud, instead of ruminating in your head around and around on a hamster wheel! It breaks the patterns. I did get help when I consulted with Kim Saeed of the Let the Reach FB site. She is not a counselor, per se, but her website and advice for those in/getting out of narcissistic relationships is the bomb, And our one hour conversation helped me tremendously. I go on about her, because it is the only time I can remember a counseling session being worth it. I am with WLR Resources, maybe those people who make that advice maybe have never HAD counseling! But, yeah..it can help the rumination wheel in your head..can

My feet are cold... It's not WLS related... It's just f*cking cold!!!
-
I need new underwear, but I refuse to buy any since my surgery is in less than 2 weeks!
-
is it bad to pretend like you don't recognize someone you don't like?
-
Of course not, that is called Healthy Boundaries. No one in life has to answer, apologize, justify themselves about anything they do. Now, granted, you take a risk of them recognizing you-then you of course be polite and say, "Oh, I *thought* that was you, I didn't recognize you, you look great..gotta go."
