I'm not sure where to put this. I am curious if anyone who has psoriasis saw improvement after the surgery?

I have a few spots here and there but have a smaller dinner plate area on my thigh. I am just hoping for some relief in that area too.

Holy crap! I almost pit out my Jello LOL

I'm having a huge issue with this as well. At night my lips are cracked and very very dark pink/raw looking. Nothing much is helping. I need to up my Fluid a bit more.

This is my... "3 days til surgery and I'm sick of Protein shakes" face.

I am officially off my blood pressure med. I've lost a wee bit over 27 pounds since Valentines day of this year. 16 since surgery a week ago. I've been off metformin since a bit before surgery. I've take ZERO units of meal time insulin since the day after surgery. I don't have to take the long acting at night AND only need to in the morning if my numbers are higher. I seem to be doing really well and they were all very pleased with my progress so far.

So am I! I'm so used to being happy for others that are doing well that I almost forgot about my work and choices paying off. Guys...I just wanna cry. I am finally able to show myself that my choice has been a good one. I used to put myself last...more like pluto the non-planet planet.

I'm so happy I had this surgery. I have a hard time believing it and sometimes feel like pinching myself. It's not the easy way so many ignorant people claim it to be. I am so thankful.

I’m fixin my mom dinner for when she gets home. I air fried some tator tots... sounds simple enough except for my huge brain fart. Without thinking I popped one in my mouth. I bit down on it and I finally realized what I was doing. I spit it out and rinsed with Water then listerine.
It shows you how much of a habit things can be. Before I’d eat 4-6 tots before dinner was even ready...sometimes more.
I am thankful for this learning and eye opening moment.

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, but of course see what your doctor says about it.

i've already noticed my fingers have lost a bit.

Finally I’ve been in a stall since a week after surgery after starting puréed food and the scale has finally moved, what a relief!!!!

It just doesn’t have the same pull.
Day of surgery I threw up/dry heaved over 6 times. As much as I wish it hadn’t been that way it made me feel differently about food.< /p>
My brother and his family came over yesterday and my mom and me made them pizza(just frozen ones). While I thought it smelled good I had zero interest in it same for the frosted Cookies. It just wasn’t the same pull. I was fine sipping on a Protein Drink.< /p>
I know things often change but I’ll take this little victory!

Thank you fo the replies! Yesterday was rough, had some serious post nasal drip that made me throw up a 6 times.

I am doing ok today and well enough to come home! Our area is super dry so dirt in the wind has been awful.

I was able to go to Walmart while waiting on a prescription to be filled. Had about 30-40 walking time.

Thanks again!

The first couple of days can be tough while you're adjusting. Just hang in there and take your time.

I'd love to have plastics if I need them but that's a lot of money for me to come up with. I am lucky that my legs are really toned for my weight BUT my stomach will almost certainly have a lot of loose skin.

I'm ok with that. I know i'm still pre op but I'm excited to feel better more than look better. Don't get me wrong...that's appealing, very appealing. I want to be more active with family. I am also a little afraid of people hitting on me...I don't know how to handle that LOL

About to head to the hospital for my VSG.

i slept more than I thought I would last night. I’m more excited than nervous. I’m ready to start my new life!

I am having the surgery in the morning tomorrow.

I am so cold! If you knew me you'd know that's almost unheard of unless i'm sick. I am guessing it's all the Water and other fluids i'm taking in today. 60ozs so far of liquid. I tried some Decaf coffee and it was eck. Now I'm about to try some decaffeinated tea hot. I think my hands are about as cold as i've ever felt normally.

I've read that a lot of people are cold after surgery. I am usually very hot natured so I am wondering what some of y'alls experiences with that may be?

I started those. I tried the bariatric fusions and blech...I almost threw up and I haven’t even had surgery yet!

I was pleasantly surprised to be discharged early. My surgeon said I was doing really well so there was no need to keep me in the hospital. For the next 2 weeks or so, I am still going to take Metformin and Losartin (blood pressure.) I will only have Metformin taken away if I have either two consecutive readings under 70 or reduced if two lows happen in one week. My blood sugar readings are actually really good right now without Metformin but they want to see what happens once I introduce Protein Shakes and cream Soups on Thursday. So far, so good - no nausea and the Clear Liquids are going down smoothly. Slow sips. They also gave me this funky breathing aparatus that I am supposed to use several times a day. It measures the volume of air that I am able to draw in - LOL! I am able to peg the indicator. Still, they want me doing it. Despite the small setback this morning of drinking a little too quickly, I feel tired but upbeat.
