I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

its a big surgery, give yourself some time, it takes 6 weeks to recovery from any surgery

My name is Twyla and I live in Steilacoom, WA. I am 37, have 3 kids, 17, 12 and 3. We just moved here with the military in June of this year. I just had my revision from lapband to VSG on October 9th. I'm glad I found this site, I need some people to talk to that are going thru the same thing! Curious if I'm going thru some sort of stage right now. I'm 5 days out and having a hard time making myself get down anything but ice chips or hot herbal tea. I just have no appetite. My stomach is telling me I'm hungry, but just the thought of broth makes me sick. I did vomit a couple times the night before last and I'm afraid I will again. It wasn't because I took in too much liquid either, it was out of nowhere. Hurt like hell! Anyway, nice to "meet" all of you! I hope we can all help each other thru our journey to healthier people!

Wondering the same thing along with how can I gain some strength and not be so sleepy? Ugh' date=' Im tired of being tired....help! Im a 10/11/12 sleever :/[/quote']

I'm getting my surgery in the morning (Oct.15,2012) at 8am ......I have never had surgery before I am so nervous and excited. I'm having mixed emotions. Does anyone else feel that way?

Had my surgery 10/10 & am STILL in pain. At home on fluids. Right now i have really bad hiccups and it feels like my stomach is gona burst with each hiccup!!! It hurts so bad!!!!

Hiccups are torture

I know how you feel.... They hurt.

I know this sounds nuts but go have a hot shower. I swear that helped me. Don't know if it was the steam or just managing to relax or could be coincidence but it helped me ...
