Had gastric sleeve done on Thursday.
What you did to yourself was start to free yourself from the bondage of excess weight. What you did is give yourself a gift!

Anxiety/Depression after surgery
Is there any harm in doing this?

Disappointing outcome
I'm sorry this happened to you. You don't deserve it.

Bay Area support?
I live in San Francisco & am 4+ years post gastric sleeve surgery. I'm at a very different point in my journey than you are but know that you aren't alone. Feel free to hit me up directly. Good luck!

CBD Vaping Pre-Op
What are you trying to do? Satisfy an oral fixation or ingest some CBD? There are ways to satisfy an oral fixation without inhaling anything. Also, there are ways to ingest CBD without inhaling too. Good luck!

Clear liquids 2 days prior to operation
Eyes on the prize! Remember this is temporary. Lots of people have shared their liquid-only diet experiences here. When you need a boost, come back here & read how others have dealt with it. Good luck! You are not alone.

Throwing up
Remember that whatever makes you throw up now may not always make you throw up. Good luck!

Hi Aiysha. Welcome. Winston Churchill said "when you're going through hell, keep going!" You can do this. Yes, it's hard. But you can do this. Good luck! You are not alone.

Psych eval question....
Any of us would just guess. Instead, try contacting the person who said it & ask that person to clarify. Good luck!

Heartburn or a different problem—-help!!
I'm more than 4 years past surgery but definitely still have acid reflux. What you're experiencing sounds too severe to ignore. Good luck with your doctor appointment. Remember to come back & share your experience! Good luck! You are not alone.

No wine/alcohol for one year?
Great point about nutrition!

It's happening so fast
Congratulations! At some point you may hit a stall. Or the loss will be less dramatic. That's okay! Don't sweat when that happens - I don't know a WLS patient it hasn't happened to! In the meantime, enjoy this! Good luck! You are not alone.

No wine/alcohol for one year?
Know yourself. If you only have 1 or 2 on special occasions, you'll probably be fine. Me, on the other hand, I don't do moderation. I'm either all in or all out. I was a wine person before surgery 4+ years ago & stayed that way after. I lost 108 pounds & then regained 40 of it because I was drinking 1 to 2 bottles of wine a night every night. The horror stories you've read about are true for some people like me. I'm proud to say it's been almost 2 years since I had a drink & the weight is slowly starting to come off again. If I could change 1 thing post-op, it would be never starting to drink again. But that's me. Good luck, whatever you choose!
