Real California April got a reaction from sunshinetinks in 2 weeks pre-surgery....very nervous reading some of the posts
Ya know....
I was so depressed after and regretted everything. I had to get Iv fluids multiple times after. It might be too late and I might need a picc line.
But you know what? I'm a student and, for the first time in a long time, I fit in a desk. I rode a bike.
It's hard but focus on what you'll be able to do instead of what ifs and what you can't do.

Yes omg yes. But don't forget to drink. I'm attached to an Iv pole at the moment because I slept too much and didn't get enough Fluid [emoji26]

Real California April got a reaction from tankheadmommy in Struggling with aversion
I tried fruit drinks and I have aversion to them too. I did try some soft food early (supposed to still be in puree) and I'm doing ok there

I did but I was extremely dehydrated. I also have eczema which doesn't help. Make sure you stay on top of your fluids and lotion lotion lotion!

Real California April got a reaction from Losingit2018 in Surgery tomorrow morning
Don't forget to advocate for yourself. If you're not comfortable or in pain, speak up!
I remember one nurse asked my pain level (Standard 1 through 10) and I was like F***ING 15! I didn't leave them alone till I got some help.

Real California April got a reaction from sunshinetinks in Depressed
Not sure where to post this but...
I didn't have any mobility issues till after surgery. I mean it's temporary but still messing with my head. I never had problems showering or walking before.
To make matters worse, my daughter has been at her grandparents house. They planned a vacation and my daughter wants nothing to do with me. I missed her so much though. I know I'm being overdramatic but damn.
I'm on Oxys for pain but I've been having horrific nightmares since!
Like I'm actually depressed. Really depressed. I take pills for it but they're not even working.
Damn

Real California April got a reaction from EagerPenguin in Naughty days?
Has anyone tried those Protein Cookies? They're expensive as you know what so I doubt I could binge on em. But maybe for when I crave a cookie

Real California April got a reaction from Stella S in On the fence about joining a gym
It depends on what you're looking for. I joined a gym because they offer fun classes like glow aerobics. They also have child care which does fun stuff with the kids to keep them active. Best way to knock a 2 year old out

Real California April reacted to pollymatin in Gastric Bypass Surgery Monday! Nervous
Make sure you have someone you trust with you. I had my daughter. My blood pressure was high the three days I was in hospital. It’s back to normal now. Don’t bring too much stuff with you, I didn’t use any of it. It’s a huge decision, you’re going to do great! Don’t expect to feel good for at least two weeks, then it’s day by day. It’s a life changer, that’s for sure.

Real California April reacted to A_new_sara in Gastric Bypass Surgery Monday! Nervous
My surgery is Monday too.. I'm a revision from sleeve to bypass due to some complications I had from my vsg I in July. I'm scheduled for 7:30 Monday morning. Good luck to you! I hear the recoveries are similar so I can tell you that the first couple of days are kind of hard because you can't drink, and you're in pain from the gas pain in your chest so just take a hot pad and make sure you relax and use your pain medicine
