Heifzilla reacted to rs in It's LOSE, not LOOSE!
Drives me crazy when I see the word LOOSE when it should be LOSE, as in... We "lose" weight. C'mon people, you're smarter than that.

I’m doing ok. Feel like I did 500 sit-ups at once. I was having a lot of trouble getting my fluids down yesterday but I think today will be better. I was sent home with a soaker catheter for incision pain, and I had to remove that myself yesterday...NOT fun.
How about you?

One week until surgery and I’m getting nervous.
Doing shakes for the next four days, then Clear Liquids until surgery. Not hungry, but definitely want to eat when I’m bored or reading.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Amen! I was forced into it because I need VSG before any surgeon at mayo would repair my hernia and my insurance doesn't cover it. It turned out to be a mixed blessing because I got to choose my surgeon and could get the surgery much sooner. No worrying about insurance backing out or coming up with extra requirements they forgot or lost paperwork at the last minute.

I’m self-pay, so no issues with insurance due to weight gain, thankfully.
It is the time of year, every year, when I start to eat uncontrollably and gain weight. I have SAD, and It happens EVERY year between late August and late September as the days start to get shorter. I’m already up 5#, and I Can’t Stop Eating.
My surgery is September 24, and I’m just so irritated, even though this is Just what I do this time of year. Anyone else have this problem?

I can’t have NSAIDs (my skin literally sloughs off), and Tramadol does nothing for me

I have to do blood work, a class on what to expect after surgery and how to eat for the first few weeks, etc. (called a “binder class”), and there’s a three day Clear Liquids diet before the surgery. I’m about a 40.5 BMI, and I have slightly elevated BP and cholesterol.

It gets better...
Have you discussed your situation with your doctor? If I were feeling sick all the time, I'd be in the phone pronto with the doctor's office. There are many things that can cause nausea and most times it is easy to fix. It could also be an indication that something is wrong and you need to be seen. Please do not wait to contact your doctor...
