WaitingontheNewMe

Good job ladies. I am 4 days post op and haven't been able to get much down. Yesterday I believe I got 20 ounces of crystal light down due to stomach spasms. Today, I am doing much better. I have gotten down 2 popsicles and 5 ounces of Protein. We Got This!

@waitingonthenewme - that's what i hear is the worst.... i've never been so excited to pass gas. Especially since that's the best way to relieve the pain! HAHAHA....

Yes ma'am. It is almost worse than labor contractions. I am not trying to scary anyone away. I am very sensitive to medicine therefore, I opted out of the Dilaudid and felt and feel alot of pain. In addition, I am super nauseated and only able to sip a few ounces. Some of this is to be expected and everyone handles pain different so please don't take this the wrong way. I know I did this to better my health! On a good note, I am not hungry ?

I meant except... I guess the pain meds got me loopy-Lol

Congrats all on getting approved. I am 2 days post op and all is well accept the gas pains. Take care!

I pray everything goes well! Take care!!!! My surgery is this Wednesday!

Hey I don't believe there is a such thing as being too skinny. I used to be 400lbs and I lost down to 250lbs through diet and exercise. I used to here that alot. I just assumed it was from them being jealous or not used to seeing me that size. I would hear, "If you lose another pound" or "where the other half of you?" Anyway, please don't let it phase you! It is your body and your health.... Keep up the good work!

I am still waiting for approval, I have atena. Had last weigh in and psych appointment on January 11, it took her until the 24th to submit report I got a call that they submitted to the insurance company on the 25. I called the insurance company yesterday to be told it's still pending. So I'm just waiting

You look awesome!

Jerricka, I am glad you decided to join us! My surgery is scheduled for Feb 8th with Dr. George Woodman from Memphis, TN. He comes highly recommended!

Starting a group is a good idea. I am only required to do a 1 day clear liquid diet; however, I have been drinking two Protein Shakes and a small meal. And plan to continue this until surgery.

Congrats, mine is the 8th too! We Got This!!!@

Hello, my date changed from January 30th to February 8th. I guess I am going to be a February sleever!!!!! Super excited for us! Best Wishes!

Biotin is a good natural product to use. It will strengthen your hair, nails, skin. Every supplement/medications have side effects. Biotin could possibly increase facial hair and cause acne among other things. I counteract the side effects with a Vitamin B complex, which is good for you as it will help increase blood flow to the scalp. And of course a multivitamin, Protein, and Water. A Shampoo wtih Vitamin E and Keratin. I am a nurse practitioner and I have prescribed this to many patients and have seen great results. As always, check with your doctor before taking any supplements. Best Wishes!

Sending up prayers for you!

I still can't believe my surgery is today! 8:30am!!! I'm so nervous, anxious, and all of the above! Thank you all for sharing your stories which have really helped me. I'm ready for this new journey to begin!!!!
