I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

Sorry.

Sorry.

No need to apologize. I was just curious if anyone knew. Thought it would be good to know. I've read how when you do stay introducing new foods you can get sick. I just want to be prepared

My doctor said if you get really sick off some thing new then go back to your liquids for 24 hours to give your time to rest. Hope this helps! !

The scale finally moved in the right direction today!!! Not much of a move but I'll take it!!!!

I go back to see my surgeon today, would have been my 3 week followup, still kind of is, since he did open me up and I am still healing from that.

I will hopefully find out today if he is willing to do the sleeve on me, since the RNY fell through... fingers crossed!

I'm one week out and going crazy. I'm very weak. Don't want to sip ever again. I know I'm dehydrated. Went 6 hours without drinking yesterday. Just slept. Boy did I pay for that one. So bored too.

How do you guys keep your energy up?

Does it hurt when u sip ?

In the beginning you feel like you don't want to do anything but deep down you know you have to. I would go to the store, just for little things powerade zero or vitamin water zeros but enough for one day so I could do it again the next day. You feel better when you start moving more. You will get short of breath fast but take your time, it isn't a race. Your body is stronger than you initially think. Maybe even getting up to walk up and down a hallway or from room to room if the store feels like too much.

I walked in the mall 3 days post op it took a lot out of me but I felt better. As far as sipping goes I think it's different for everyone, maybe set a timer for sipping so you can remind yourself you need this so sip sip sip. Hope these tips help

No. Only after two sips I get the tightness. I'm completely repealed by food and drink. I know this will improve but I'm getting depressed.

I'm sipping today no matter what.

Scared of ending up back in the hospital.

I think everyone goes through a little depression. I know I did my hormones were everywhere except where they should have been.

My surgeon said one sip wait 3 min take another sip if you can sip again in 3 min do it and keep that up until you can sip anymore, then wait 20min and try again if you cant then 30min.

Thanks!! Glad to know that others feel depressed. I'm so cut off from the world. Love this group. Only you guys get it. ☺️

It's normal. This group is the best. Here want to feel better. My first cry was over a sportsbra.

I have an incision between my breasts so I couldn't wear a regular bra and had to get a sportsbra no wire and barely any support.

I balled my eyes out because I felt it made my boobs look ugly and I had to leave the house like that.

It's funny now but it wasn't then.

The sadness passes and will before you know it.

I've been fine with cooking.

I got upset because my husband was going to order out because I had class. The fact that he was ordering out didn't bother me it was his list of possibilities he was rambling about. I said in the nicest possible way I didn't care I didn't want to know. But then he decided out loud he was getting pizza. That made me upset I got angry at first then sad and to top it off I'm not even a pizza person. Lol.
