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.

Well, I did lose another 9 lbs...my surgeon is sending me to a liver specialist. He said the two of them wold work together and when that Dr. says it is safe...he will do the sleeve.

So hopefully I can get this done one day.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

I can't imagine leaving the house or even driving. Probably part of the depression.

I did set my alarm to beep every 15 min. Feeling a little stronger.

Thinking of having a more carbs, like from milk. Seems like I've taken them too low.

Thanks everyone????

@jhod I have found that water is really hard for me to drink, but I do much better with broth or Powerade zero. I drank water before surgery almost exclusively, but now one sip of it causes a heavy feeling in my chest and I have at times felt nauseous I hope it gets better, but for now I do what I can to get the fluid down. It can be difficult. I am two weeks and one day out from surgery.

Thanks. I agree with water being nasty. I add crystal light pure to it. It's been my fav for a while. It's amazing how my appetite went bye-bye with my stomach. And that it took thirst with it.

Just an update. Had my surgery on the 19th Like many, I have some serious health problems. One of the main reasons I decided to have gastric bypass surgery was because of diabetes. Mine is so insulin resistant that just a couple of months ago I was taking a maximum dose of Victoza, 70 units of Lantus a day and over 100 units of Novalog. Although some of those doses were decreased before surgery because I lost weight, This week I had a major breakthrough.

Sunday afternoon - almost two weeks after surgery - I started having low blood sugars. Yesterday I saw the endocrinologist and my dose of Lantus has been cut to 8 per day and Novalog on a sliding scale. She told me that within the month I should be off all insulin and my diabetes will be in remission!

I just wanted to share that as a victory because only a few months ago I was on a much different path. This is something I could never have done on my own and will always be a motivation when times are rough. What an amazing surgery!

Fabulous!!

Hey everyone just wanted a lil info from anyone who may know. I was curious. What do we do if we throw up?

How long do we wait to eat again?

Should we drink something before trying to eat?

My Nut told me that if I vomit I should go back to full liquids for the rest of the day.

I had my two week post op appt on Monday. I got in trouble for not calling the office because I have been constantly nauseous since surgery. I am suppose to have 5, 2oz meals every day and then 48-60 oz of water and 1 protein shake, on full liquids I was only averaging 3, 2oz meals and I never even got to the protein shake, being nauseous sucks. I have been doing better since being able to have purred since yesterday. At my appt yesterday I am officially down 47lbs since the start of my journey and 16lbs since surgery. I don't know if I've stalled, I have only been weighing once, maybe twice a week. Anyway, everyone keep up the good work, and please drink your water, dehydration is no joke.

I have the opposite problem. Struggled to get fluids in (only 40 oz) but have had diarrhea for two days.

Had my hubby bring home Gatorade2 for electrolytes.

Definitely calling the nurse tomorrow.

It's sugar free. I hope so. I need electrolytes. Quite desperate.

Oh I'm going to have to check those out. I know Powerade zero and Vitamin Water zero are sugar free. They have really great flavors and the vitamin water zeros have B Vitamins in them that may give you a little boost of energy.

I have been drinking propel at least every other day. It is zero calories too. Yesterday, all of a sudden I got this really uncomfortable pain. Like a very sore muscle of course under my large incision. I don't know if I did too much yesterday or what. I have my 2 week post op spot so I can bring it up then.

I hope it's okay. Keep us posted.
