It'll get better. My NUT said my lack of energy was totally normal. Everyone will feel different initially right after this surgery. Stay hydrated, rest and move about as you can so you don't develop blood clots. I didn't start feeling like myself until about 6 weeks. VSG 6/17/2016

I had a full hysterectomy 4 years ago. No hormone issues afterward. Sleeved on 6/17. Have lost 40 lbs. Things are going great. No complaints and no issues regarding hormones. Best wishes! VSG 6/17/2016

I had Dr. Macik from Northside. Sleeved 6/17. Everything has been good so far. VSG 6/17/2016

I made this the day before so I could just come home and heat it up for dinner. I work 12 hour days in the ER and didn't want to come home hungry and have to fix something. It was very good. My family thought it was lasagna lol. I sliced it in sections. I'll freeze some so I won't be eating this everyday and get tired of it. So glad someone thought of this delicious meal ????

Dulcax is just a laxative. I took it the day before surgery. I just came back from Disney with my granddaughters. I took it once while there. Works overnight well. No cramping, but helps things move about. VSG 6/17/2016

I can't wait to try this! VSG 6/17/2016

I found a ricotta bake on Pinterest that I can't wait to try. Different from the one already mentioned 8 oz of Ricotta cheese 1/2 cup grated Parmesan 1 large egg beaten 1 tsp of Italian seasoning Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cups of marinara sauce 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave.
