Had 2 (veryyyyyy smalll) BM today. Gonna buy some brown flax seed tomorrow per my NUT and see how it works.

I haven’t had a visit from my monthly friend in well over 6 months due to being on birth control ( I have be plan on the arm implant). Today I finally had a BM and realized I also have been paid a visit 😩 why the sudden change? Has this happened to anyone? I was also initially scared shitless cause I had no clue what was going on.

Same, I think it’ll subside.

I go in tomorrow at 8am. Wish me luck/pray for me! I'm super stoked, and of course nervous. Probably wont be able to sleep tonight! 😬

Yes, I was thinking infused Water too. It’s worth a shot!

Surgery is in the morning. Is it weird that I’m kinda bummed that I don’t have a surgery twin on the forum? Anyway, I’m so nervous and excited at the same time. I think more excited though. I’m about to drink some broth, take my meds and go to bed. See you all on the other side!

I'm so glad you are feeling better! I'm sure you will soon be able to tolerate other tastes. It's quite a slam to our systems, that's for sure!

My surgery was 2/5/20

I had mine on the 11th

I will be keeping you and your family in prayer. My deepest condolences.

Im scheduled for the sleeve on Feb 17th, I'm soooo excited! Just curious to know if anyone else has been scheduled for February?

@doublepau Those are all good questions. My pre op appointment is on Thursday. I have a 2 hour appointment at the hospital that I will be having my procedure and a 1 hour appointment with my physician and her nurse. I’m not too sure what to expect but will have these questions and anymore I can think of before.

So I had my pre-op appointment earlier todat. My surgeon said the week before to eat low carb and the day before surgery i'll be doing liquids. Not bad at all in my opinion! He also prescribed a drug for nerve pain that I have to take the day before to minimize pain post-op.

Have you definitely decided which WLS you will be having? Be sure to discuss with your doctor both the pros and cons of each type. I thought I wanted a sleeve until the doctor warned me abut possibly having GERD with the sleeve so that made me decide for the RNY. Be sure what you want.

This is a good question. My pre-op is on Thursday so I will be taking notes as well!

How much weight are you expected to
Oz of liquid per day? Were a couple of questions I had!

I'm on for tomorrow, too! Good luck, healing happy thoughts sent your way.

Congratulations to all the February survives that are scheduled. I pray all are feeling well and there are no obstacles in us being able to reach all of our weight loss goals. Good luck to everybody. Surgery in the morning. Super excited to begin my new journey.

Being able to breathe while putting on shoes feels really good!
...and I cant wait until I can get back to real sports as well. Even though im 47, Im finally able to get that foot surgery that ended me playing volleyball in college. Although I suspect that I will have to get a breast reduction to ever play again. Having a G+ cup isnt cuting it for running or dives etc.
Btw, the looking at the mirror thing is a bit difficult, so dont get down on yourself when you lose weight over it. Ive lost more than 100 lbs and I still cant really "see" any difference in myself. I can manage to look at myself in the mirror without feeling immediate depression, but it's only my clothes size that tells me Ive lost weight. Im a year out (and 7 months post-op) and can only start to see any changes now. Not because there arnt any, but because my mind cant wrap itself around it. Oddly enough my body remembers feeling lighter and wants to go back to sports, but my lungs still havnt caught up.

This just reminded me...
looking forward to shave my bottom area without having a battle with my belly in the way. 😂
