Seen my doctor today for pre admitting. Can't wait for march 24th to come. Kinda down because doctor said I might have to much scar tissue to do sleeve the same time. I'm praying he can because my insurance changes over in April. "Ugh"

Anyone else having really bad dry mouth after being home? I think it might be the nausea med, I have to put under my tongue 4x a day

I had terrible dry mouth in the hospital. Ice chips helped the most. Crush some ice and suck on it. Helps get your Water in too.

if you are on the hydrocodone liquid pain med that's what it is it stopped the day I switched to Tylenol

I found swishing Water in my mouth and gargling a bit helped a lot without actually swallowing.

I'm sitting in the hospital waiting on my surgery. I have been calm all the way until now. I spoke to my 9year old daughter over the phone and she started crying now I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack. Ughhhhhh

Thinking of you! Just had a bedtime prayer with my 8 year old. Sweetness is to hear your child pray for you. It's terrifying too. But deep breaths - we got this! I'll be at the hospital in about 13 hours. Hope you're doing ok. Post when you can!

Hi everyone. ... I've been reading posts on this site for a while now. I'm starting to get really excited and anxious. I Am scheduled for March 21 . I'll be flying down to San Diego...is anyone having surgery in Tijuana around that time? I don't have to much support from family and friends but it is something I've wanted for a long time. I'm 27 and ready to start a new life. Just looking for some positivity

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
