It is so great to hear from all of you! Angel,Norma,Susan, JSM, Chancie,Lisaan,Daisy and the teeny tweeny Carolyn! Yes, knock on wood I seem to be pretty ok. Making sure I am walking alot and doing the beathing and staying determined to channel health and wellness rather than focusing on anything else.

I am worried about newmom right now though. She is having a lot of problems with dizziness, nausea and vomiting, and pain. They are giving her things but it isnt seeming to help. I hope she feels better soon. I offered to spritz her with some rosewater but she declined. well, I know it wont last much longer, hope she does too.

Glad to hear that you are doing ok. Your comments are helping me. I am going to have surgery next Wednesday, so it helps to be more prepared by knowing what to expect. It helps knowing that everyone is different, and I guess it is best to just hope and pray for the best. I wish you both the best.

Please give newmom my regards and tell her I am keeping her in prayer that this discomfort will pass and be done with. Since I had suffered much discomfort right after surgery I have a soft spot in my heart for her. Both of you please be well and keep in touch. xx

Hello delitedesigns,

How have you been doing on your pre-op diet? I know that you were having some difficulty. I am half-way pre-op. Everything still going ok, just looking forward to having surgery next Wednesday. Boy how time goes by so quickly. I wish you all the best on Sunday, my prayers are with you. I hope you post pictures and let us know how it is going with your weight loss.

hi all....

Just had surgery on Thursday with Dr. Aceves....Hope newmom is feeling better..I too had nausea and vomiting..but it disappeared by the night of day 2..they kept injecting stuff into my IV.

Hopefully the dizziness passes with the nausea too!

Next time you see Dr. Campos..please tell him that Kris and Chris from NJ thank him so much for the coffee! Aren't the docs wonderful?!

Best of luck!

Kris

Oh, I am sorry newmom is having problems! I was really lucky because I really could not tell I even had surgery. I spent most of

my time walking around outside

the hospital.

I hope she is better soon too, and glad to hear you are doing well!

Joon, tell NewMom we are all pulling for her. I sure hope the vomiting passes by tonight. She will heal up fast once they get that under control. Boy, we sure all react differently. Glad to hear you are still doing great. R U eating popcycles? grape was my fav.

Hi! Just wanted to say I am more stable today. Joon told me all about your encouraging words and it just helped me so much. What really helped also were the times I had read on here about day 2 being terrible. I just kept hoping that was true.

I feel much better today although not 100%. Joon is in fantastic shape! I don't know what I would have done without her, I am so glad we found each other on this board.

Anyway...more later.

Newmom, glad to hear you are feeling better. I had an awful time with the nausea the first couple of days as well, but it does clear up. You two take care!

Yeah NewMom! So glad to hear from you. You are doing better. Happy happy happy.

Silly I know, but, so there. We sure are all different in how we react to VSG and beyond. Good thing we can share these multiple experiences! Rest, get strong and keep posting.

NewMom

I'm so glad you're feeling better so soon.... I had to spend 5 days in the hospital because ofthe nausea and vomiting. I wouldn't wish that on anyone- it wasn't jsut from the sleeve- it was also the anestesia. I never had problems before- but I did this time- and then I also had a reaction to the pain meds they were giving me.. so a double wammy.

Cnagrats to both of you AND sooooooooooo glad you are feeling better!!

NewMom - thanks for letting us know you're feeling better ... glad you remembered that day 2 was the worst for most of us and pushed through it ... I imagine each day will get better for you from here on out. Glad Joon was there to keep your spirits up and to keep us posted on you.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
