Hi all ???? I'm Jaysen and was curious to see if anyone has a May surgery date? I think it'd be great to have as much support as possible..

Maybe TMI but MOM did the trick. Lol. Constipation has become a big issue for me. Anyway , feeling better.

def NOT TMI for me. Im having the exact same problem today. I had some Miralax last night, and things haven't, shall we say, progressed as I'd hoped. Have terrible nausea and headache now, making it hard to small my protein shake and fluids this am. I just know We'll get on the other side of these issues soon, and have more good days then bad.

It's 3am, woke up at 1:30am with pain in my lower abdomen and feeling really nauseous. Can't sleep , what is going on. I get one good day then 2 or 3 not so good days. Not sure what I should do.

So sorry you are having pain!! Are you going to call your surgeon? Maybe you need to do liquid diet for a day or two. Maybe your body needs more healing time.

Well today is my day! I'm sitting in the Pre-op area in my gown waiting to get my IV. Surgery is scheduled for noon! Ah!

We'll be thinking of you all day today! You're on your way!

Just finished meeting with the surgeon so headed back in a min. Ugh, nervous! See everyone on the losers bench!

@@Salonboi, I think read earlier that you are using a bariatric eating app? Can you give me any more info on that? Does it send you prompts on when to actually put fork in mouth? I know that I am still struggling with eating too fast. This sort of app, if I'm not imagining it, sounds like just what I need.

This is the app I use. Very easy to use.

@@Salonboi, my energy level is still a bit low at nearly 3 weeks post-op. Yesterday was my first day back to work. The morning went fine, but the afternoon was rough. After about 4:00 I could not keep my eyes open! I was hoping to stop at the gym on my way home (like I used to do before the liquid diet), but I just couldn't do it. Tonight is my surgeon's support group. I'm hoping to make it through that!

I went to my support group last night, and was glad I did. There were only 2 of us that were post-op, and boy did they have questions lol. I only stayed out 9 days, so I know what you mean by being tired. I noticed getting up and moving really and truly made it so much better. It got my mind out of recovery mode to being a new me. I also use a sublingual B complex. That B12 helps a lot. Good luck ????

Moving more helps so much. Truly does..

@@Salonboi what dosage of B12 and how frequently do you take it? My doctor has me on 1,000 mcg only 2x-3x per week. Before surgery I would take a B-complex every day.

I follow the directions on package, as it follows my docs instructions.

Nature's Bounty Vitamin B Complex Sublingual Liquid, 2 Ounce (Pack of 4) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001G7QPC8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_fWJzvb0CZHS3B

Abdomen became so painful , went to ER. ( believe me, for me to go to ER, you know I'm in a lot of pain)

Anyway, they did blood work,urine test and cat scan of abdomen.

Diagnosis: diverticulitis. Home on antibiotics. So relieved that it's isn't a surgery complication. Not happy with diverticulitis but could be worse.

Rest up and feel better!
