Surgery Siblings! We got this! Also, yes, I sure hope we get some rest. I hope your recovery is speedy and safe! Message me, whenever, so we can keep in contact throughout our recovery. Best of luck! ❤️On 05/12/2019 at 16:05, VeeAurora said:
I’m also having surgery tomorrow. Nervous af, but we will be fine! At this point it’s basically a routine surgery at the hospital :) hope we both get some sleep tonight though -
Thank you so much for the tips and comfort! I greatly appreciate it; especially that tip of the fluids before protein. I know protein will be hard to get down after surgery. I will update you all how my surgery went afterwards! Thanks, again! ❤️On 05/12/2019 at 15:58, Orchids&Dragons said:
Best of luck tomorrow. Wishing you a quick, smooth recovery!
My tips:
1-don't let the scale determine your success. Through the whole process, the scale may be your best buddy and treat you nicely, or it may be an absolute b!tch. Take your measurements now, so that even when the scale is not cooperating, you can see how far you've come.
2-focus on fluids first, then Protein. Dehydration will land you back in the hospital a lot faster than lack of Protein will. Experiment with different fluids if you struggle. If plain Water doesn't work, try sugar-free popsicles or ice chips. Maybe warm herbal tea, maybe room temperature or ice Water. Try Crystal Light or maybe some fruit sliced into the water (but don't eat the fruit at this stage). Figure out what works for you.
3-come here anytime for support if you're getting discouraged. This forum is wonderfully supportive.
Again, good luck!

Thank you so much for the kind and inspirational words! I truly appreciate it! 😭❤️ I will be sure to update you all when I am out of surgery.On 05/12/2019 at 15:58, Frustr8 said:
Keep peace in your Soul; a smile upon your face, the conviction in your ❤that you are doing the right thing for the right reasons, you are in the right place with a surgeon and bariatric team you have trust in. You are the 🌟 Star of this production; everything is in preparation for you alone, Your Mama would tell you,to " Make Nice- Nice " so I shall also. No matter how tender or uncomfortable you may be when you wake up, still smile through it all! And remember pain has o,ly a short season, Joy and Pride in Yourself will last forever. Besides your nurses and Doctors are human, the most pkeasat patients get,the perks, they get their call lights answered faster, and you will not be a source of gossip in their break room. See I have been on both sides, the caregivers and the care receivers, and I Do Know What I'm talking about! Take a stuffed toy or small pillow with you if you can. The first time you cough or sneeze without a soft friend you will feel like you have disemboweled yourself and that sure is not a fun sensation. And please remember we all have had surgery or we are getting ready to, we do understand how you're feeling. Try to get some sleep tonight or you will be wound tighter than a $3 watch. And lastly , update us when your surgery is complete, we will ❤hearing from YOU! -

Hello Vavoon! My surgery is tomorrow as well. Just relax, we are so close! It’s not worth potentionally having to post-pone your surgery due to your liver expanding again. You will regret it. We have been in this fight for more than a week now, let’s stay strong together! ❤️❤️

I am incredibly sorry to hear that, Krestel. No wonder why you are scared beyond belief. I truly hope that your surgery goes by smoothly and safely; as well as your recovery. Take care! ❤️

Hey Krestel! From what I have heard, I believe that the nurse will give you an injection, before the surgery, that should help prevent blood clots. Regardless of that, however, I will pray for you!

Hey Shanda!
Tomorrow is the last day of my liquid diet. My surgery is on Monday. It may feel impossible and eternal in the beginning, but it definitely gets easier as the days go by! Stay strong! ❤️
Sincerely,
Ruby Hernandez -
Yay! We are all so close everyone! Let’s do this! 🙌🏻

You get it girl! 🙌🏻

Hey Sleevers!
Just wondering, is anyone else having a Veritcal Sleeve surgery this month? My surgery is on May 13 (two days before my birthday). Let me know! 💜
P.S If you already had surgery this month, let me know how it went! 🌸tammy45 reacted to this -
OMG YOU LOOK AMAZING, GIRL! I am having my VSG in 4 days! I am so excited. Keep up the amazing work! You look both happier and healthier! 😊❤️

Thank you for the reply Allies Journey! I will be sure to fill myself up with more Water when I’m feeling hungry. Thank you for both the tips and compliments, I appreciate them very much! 😊

Thank you SusieQ2019, I hope my experience gors as smoothly as yours. Also, thank you for the pad reminders! Best of luck on your bariatric journey! 😁

Thank you for the response, Vsho. Thinking about the potential complications has been the main reason why I’ve stayed strict on this diet. Also because I refuse to let food control me. Thanks, again!

ISSUE RESOLVED: My Surgeon said that it’s very common to have your period on surgery day and it will not interfere with my surgery. Thank the lord. 🙏🏻

I’m sorry to hear that, the surgery recovery is already annoying as it is. Hopefully I don’t feel too bad. 😕 Thank you for the response!

Hello Everyone!
This is a question for my fellow Lady Sleevers. My Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery is in 4 days and I got my period today. Can I still have my surgery despite me being on my period? 😓 -
Haha thank you for the tip! Will definitely try it!

That’s very true, I hope it went well for her! Thanks for the reply! 😁
