good luck

That’s so exciting! I had my surgery 1/10. 4weeks out and I feel great. I’m happy to see you have a goal I had a goal but my surgeon reminded me that even if the scale doesn’t show it we lose inches. I’ve noticed my stomach is getting smaller, I’m about 20lbs down from surgery and starting this journey when I got interested in surgery I’m down 60lbs! I hope you make your goal!!

Anyone drink decaffeinated coffee on their pre op diet?

Hey!! I’m 11 days post op. Pre op I was advised no coffee but it could be different per surgeon. I drink Decaf coffee and add my Protein Shake to it to make it like a latte. The morning after my surgery while in the hospital they brought me Decaf coffee which was nice.

Oh no! I’m glad it’s still on though!

Today is the first day that I’ve felt like myself, and I’m up doing laundry and things.

The biggest thing that I can say, and I know everyone says it, is STAY HYDRATED. I missed my hydration goal a few times and had to go get an IV to replies what I lost, and I didn’t realize how bad I felt till I was hydrated again. The slow sip sip sips were killing me, so I’m not chugging Water, but I’m taking normal drinks and that seems to be working so much better for me.

EDIT: I don’t know about other’s, but the absolute worst pain for me, for about 4 days out was the CO2 gas stuck in my chest. It feels awful, but it will pass!

Day 2 post op the gas is still causing some pain I’ve been burping a lot and that’s been helping.

Today is the day, after having my surgery pushed back due to Covid staffing shortages from 12/27, till today 1/10 I am excited but so very nervous. This being my first surgery ever it’s a little nerve wracking. Wish me luck!!

My surgery is today, I am super nervous because this is my first real surgery. I’m excited for what’s to come and ready for this new life! Can’t wait to get this done, been chasing after this day for 8 months now. Wish me luck!

Well they had to postpone my surgery due to Covid causing staff shortages and I am kind of bummed about it. Now my date is January 10th but that’s not a for sure date yet.

My surgery is today, I am super nervous because this is my first real surgery. I’m excited for what’s to come and ready for this new life! Can’t wait to get this done, been chasing after this day for 8 months now. Wish me luck!

Surgery date is 12/27.

I’m getting the Gastric Sleeve

I’m nervous and excited, I’m ready for the big changes that are to come.
