Thanks it's been so hard I've had serve morning sickness. I've lost 55 pounds already. My starting weight was 280. I'm hoping for a little girl since I already have a son. Thank you.

Hi everyone.
I'm 4 months pregnant and I had my bypass on Nov 20th and it turns out I was a month pregnant when they did my surgery. I'm just wondering if any ladies were pregnant right after surgery? And how was the pregnancy

I'm in califorina and I'm an everyday user. My anesthesiologist just asked me not to smoke the day before or the day of surgery.
I'm in califorina and I'm an everyday user. My anesthesiologist just asked me not to smoke the day before or the day of surgery. I'm now 7 days post op and have been smoking since 2 days ago. My stomach cannot tolerate pain killers I just throw them up. I can now sleep so comfy. And I'm pain free. So no worries.

It sounds as if you are dehydrated. If you can’t drink, you need IV fluids to at least set you on the correct path. Dehydration itself can make it harder to tolerate fluids.

Have you tried other liquids than just straight water?

I agree on the SF Popcicles. They helped a lot when i needed more liquid and just could not drink another ounce.

Try sugar-free popsicles. The cold seems to be soothing and the liquid melts slowly enough that most people can tolerate them.

I'm having the worst time getting my 48oz of water a day. I throw up so much I'm 2 weeks post op

6 days in and I’m feeling regretful. I am finding this so hard. I still have discomfort on my left side, it feels like i have a stitch. I’m crying a lot and I wonder when this will get better. I try to be positive but I think I’m scared. Please help me!

Does anyone regret having surgery?

Pre-op to 11 months post-op. Best thing I ever did for myself!!!!

My (ex) bf and I have dated for nearly 5 years; he lives with me. The last year of our relationship has been rocky anyway, but ever since I told him I had decided to have gastric he became even more standoffish and argumentative. Two weeks ago we had a huge blowout over something completely idiotic, he comes back to the house, and says he has been acting the way he has because he thinks that once I lose weight I am going to leave him and that's all he can think about.
Mind you... I have not even had the surgery yet. He said I am going to lose weight, gain self-esteem, realize I am too good for him, and leave him.
Well, guess what, pal... I don't need to lose ANY weight to realize I am too good for you. It's been a long time coming, but I think it's even sadder that he is using my choice to get healthier as a justification for being an a*s.
The only thing this does is put me in a rough position as far as someone staying with me while I recover. My mom and stepdad are going to take "shifts" as long as they can, but they both work. And the ex is currently dwelling awkwardly in my basement, but will probably not give me a hand at all. It does make me sad because I had hoped he would be there at the hospital with me... but then all of this BS happens. *insert gigantic eye roll emoji here*
I am okay, though. I need these next 12 months to focus on me and getting healthy and fit and not dealing with unnecessary dramatics and stress. I have always thrived when single and he actually had moved out of the house for a year and it was fantastic. I hate to say it, but I'm looking forward to this new chapter - of not just weight loss, but of being single and free!

After 12+ years of looking into WLS, 3 different seminars and 100s of hours of blogs, forums, YouTube, and research papers....the time has come. Also after 20 years of a BMI of 40+, 3 comorbidities and a dozen diets (3 of them medically supervised), advice for my PCP, and now worn out knees....tomorrow is the day.
I'm a bit frightened but hopeful for a common, text-book surgery and recovery.
I should be home Wednesday night...and I'll provide an update.
Thank you all for your support!

Hello,
I am Pre Op surgery my date is 12/5/18 (so close i know).
we all have our habits, and knocking out lots of habits at once is so hard as we all know. I've been a full time cannabis user for the pass 10 years, smoke ganja everyday. Anyhoo, I've recently stopped smoking. I know i can stay strong at this point not to smoke but I'm very concerned I didn't stop sooner now. is two weeks enough time to give yourself before going under? If i tell my doctor he will postpone my surgery. I've worked so hard to get where i am, that would be very discouraging.
Please need advice from SOMEONE who has gone through this would be greatly appreciated.
(I know we all have our opinions but this is the route I choose since my boyfriend clarify me i will be okay over and over again but now doing my research I'm freaking out)

At my 6 month mark. I was up to 310 in May and today broke 215! You can all do it!! Tried to post in the gallery but it won't give me the option to

Just took my inches for the first time since my surgery on October 16th and I’m very happy to say goodbye to 15.25 inches!!!!!!

Don't worry. I was the same way for a couple weeks on a liquid diet. All of a sudden it started working. Now I'm down 94 pounds since June!

Sizing is so weird! I've lost 177 pounds, so you think I would be down a ton of sizes right? Not really. I started at a 4x shirt, and I'm now in a 2x shirt. Pants, I was in 32s and I'm now in 26s (3 sizes down). I'm keeping at it though. You've got this! Also, I see the original post was a couple of months ago; how are things going now?

Inspiring! I’m jelly that you don’t seem to have loose skin?! You have a great figure. If you care to share your workout regimen, please inbox me. I am scheduled for a sleeve upcoming late January. So excited to think if I work as hard as you, I may be that much closer to my goals.

Surgery date: June 26
Heaviest weight: 284
Current weight: 190
I’m 10 pounds away from my goal weight! So now I have a new goal weight ? I am VERY proud of what I’ve accomplished and the changes I’ve made in my life and in my diet.

Everything is so uncomfortable! When will the swelling go down

I feel you. I had my vsg surgery the day before you (11/13) and I'm missing texture. I'm going crazy at home not doing anything. I've never been the type to netflix binge either. I sat through six episodes of Narcos today before I called it quits. I think I zoned out at episode 3 lol. I get feelings of anxiety and restlessness as I feel stuck in my home. Things will get better for us!

Of course you’re regretting it. You’re sitting in the suck right now!
You won’t be very shortly, though, so hang on! It gets so awesome!

Hello everyone. I had my surgery (sleeve) on Wednesday 11/14 and I’m a total wuss when it comes to pain and discomfort and am regretting it so bad right now. It hurts to drink anything. I’m nauseous. I don’t mind the stomach soreness much (just feel like I did a bunch of ab crunches).

I’m supposed to be drinking my protein shakes but I’m scared to even try lol sucking on the popsicles give me cramps and I know this will “pass” but I keep thinking, what if it doesn’t. I feel stupid for typing this :(
