Got my date... September 3rd. Anyone else scheduled this day or in September?

They let me take Tylenol and gave me a prescription for ativan for the night before and day of surgery.

I'm one week post op, and honestly slightly worried... I see all these people saying "I could only eat half a yogurt etc" and honestly I feel like if I didn't make myself stop halfway I could probably eat the entire thing. I'm just not getting the full feeling whatsoever. My nut said I could start on cottage cheese, yogurts, and my "pre-selects" yesterday and I thought I'd get the "full feeling" but I haven't at all. Wednesday I'm attending a class and figured I'd ask then but it'd be nice to also get some input from you guys. Thanks.

I'm exactly the same. I can eat 4 oz of any of my allowed foods(because I measure that much out) and I never get full. Pretty sure I could eat at least double. I get 80 oz of water in a day too and can gulp it down after a workout with no problem

HW(9/3/13)- 284, DOS(9/11/13)-270, CW-259(9/20/13), GW-155(by 9/21/14...my 26th birthday!)

Day 2...catheter out, peed on my own. 2 laps around the floor. Cleared for liquids. Drank 20 oz already. feeling ok, but really tired.

Thats strange. Sometimes after my walk I get so thirsty I forget about my surgery and begin to gulp and I get a massive sharp pain. Haven't puked yet as I am almost always careful but so far I don't ever feel hungry. I only eat bc I know I need to but I am one week post op. I am sorry you guys are having trouble but you are still probably eating less and weight loss will still happen. Just don't push to see how much you can eat and stretch out your new stomach.

Where did you find it in sublingual? I looked all over and couldn't find it. I crush it and put in my shakes. Start weight 224' date=' Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199[/quote']

How Many mg are you taking? I'm preop but I'm going to start taking it before. I'm trying to avoid hair loss as much as possible. I've alwAys had super thick hair and don't want to lose it!!

Surgery in the am, any ideas for things to take with to the hospital?

I took a book

Robe

Slippers

Phone

Charger

Notepad

Vaseline

Toiletries

Change of clothes

I didn't use the book at all! I did wear a change of clothes home though. The hospital will obviously give you a gown and socks so you may not need a robe but I just wanted to have my own.

With Biotin you can take as much as you want. I am taking 5,000mcg, I believe.

One weird thing thats going on with my body is that I go from being mildly cold to sweating all over. I keep checking and i don't have a fever.

Stitcher: does the temp change ever seem to coincide with eating?

I totally forgot I wanted to get a robe so the other patients don't get a surprise...lol

Me too! I think it's out hormones being all out of whack.

It doesn't seem to be around eating at all but the hormone idea sounds exactly right. My surgeon told me that this surgery messes with your hormones! I totally forgot. I am only 25 so I was wondering why I was having hot flashes. Well now I know what I am in for in 25 years.

Ok so get this. Estrogen is stored in fat so as we lose the weight the estrogen is released into are system. Ohh science rocks! I did get the sweats when I was on the hcg diet and I lost weight this quickly too.
