Lol i don’t remember much either. I know I remember my Dr saying hello in the OR, finding out I was getting a catheter soon as I went to sleep (not happy) and then the anesthesiologist saying I’m about to get sleepy. Next thing I know people kept calling my name. I remember my mom coming to the post op area and I was crying because they only let her stay for a minute. Then the nurse kept saying push your pain button but I was in so much pain and so drugged up to even lift anything lol. I remember the guy in the curtain over being loud AF trying to take his gown off and the nurse kept telling him he can’t do that lol. Next thing I know I woke up in my room crying AGAIN but this time my mom was on the couch.

I don’t count, i just chew til I cannot chew anymore lol.

Congratulations

Congratulations

So i had egg whites for breakfast, protein shake for lunch and chicken or seafood for dinner. Eat as much meat u want with lots of salad to fill u up. Never had issues during preop phase

Everything your thinking about taking to the hospital don’t lol. Maybe chapstick and charger (i didn’t care where my phone was) lol. Use that pain button while you can and don’t overstock on items like protein shakes, powders or broths. Good luck!

I was beyond scared, 2 weeks post ops i still have buyers remorse but I wouldn’t change it for the world

It will go fast! Everything your feeling is normal. Congratulations

I was asked the same question but at my preop appt. Never said anything before!! I was so irritated but I know it was all out of love and possibly scared for me. I simply said if it was that easy I would not be here. I know I made the right decision for me.

Glad your doing well. As the others say start walking ASAP

Did you ask him why 6 months especially when it’s not something needed. How often have you seen him this last year?

I’m glad you were able to enjoy something you liked. Don’t let anyone make you feel any type of way for your choices. This is a judgement free zone!

I’m 2 weeks post op and still feel it if I twist or bend a certain way. It’s annoying at this point lol

Congratulations keep up the good work

Just stick with it. The time will fly by trust me! Keep reminding yourself why you are doing it

29, 2 weeks post op. I gained all this weight after a horrible relationship. Tried on my own didn’t work, saw a well known dr for Wls here, at the time was considering the band. But it felt like he was pushing his products on me. I felt like if I didn’t buy his products I wouldn’t be successful. Then I gave up fast forward a few years later and I’m actually glad I got it done now. I’m settled into my career and now I can focus on me.

29, financial specialist, from New Orleans now in Denver. No kids, tend to stay to myself, love doing makeup and reading books

I had to do it, i really thought they was going to make me drink a lot. But literally they had two cups on the table not a lot in either. I think i took 4 sips in total only because of the extra small sips I was taking lol. It was all of 5 minutes. Not bad at all

I understand the lack of a support system. But I just kept thinking I’m doing this for me and no one else. I’m the support I need. I do go to counseling and talking to people on here has help so much where i didn’t feel alone. Send me a message if you ever need to talk

Congratulations

Definitely agree! I didn’t use anything in my bag except my tooth brush, my face wash and my chapstick because i didn’t like the lip balm the hospital provides. My phone may have went in the charger but i was not thinking about that phone 😂. Congratulations on your surgery welcome

Congratulations
