  1. So I’m a week and 2 days away from getting my surgery. I’m really nervous. I’m nervous for only having 1000 calories a day, I’m nervous for going to Mexico by myself. I’m nervous for the surgery in general. Can someone out there calm my nerves!!??😞

    For me it wasn’t ACTUALLY painful per se, but it felt like a lot of pressure in my abdomen, right behind my lower sternum. Like I really needed to burp super hard but just couldn’t get it out. It’s a discomfort combination like when you’ve eaten way too much crossed with really needing to burp.

    Is there a lot of medicine youll take when you get back home? And will you have to purchase medicine from them if you run out?

    Hi! I've been lurking without creating an account and when I saw this little June group I decided it was time to join! :)

    I had my first meeting with a Dr on Jan 7th, went right into nutrition appts on Jan 17th and it was kind of a whirlwind after that with tests one after the other: Upper GI, EKG, stress test, ECG, sleep study...etc. I was cleared by all of the Dr's. The only thing wrong was sleep apnea, which was a bit of a surprise, so I've been using a CPAP machine since the end of March. I was cleared by nutrition in March after having lost 5% of my starting weight (part of my program instead of a liquid pre-op diet) and met with my surgeon last Friday to go over everything and sign consents. That made things more real! I'm awaiting surgery approval from insurance but don't expect any issues. My surgery date is June 17th!

    I also love the Baritastic app! It definitely keeps me on track.

    Hey!! Maybe I’ll get to see you that day! 😊

    I have made it to the losers bench! Surgery went well. I am sore and tired but I have made it. Will go home on Thursday from what I hear. Also the gas is a b$tch. Make sure you walk and stay on top of your meds. I’m waiting for my next set of meds then back to sleep.
