I made a group called "December 2016 Sleevers!" I would love for everyone who has a surgery date in December to join! lets be a great support system for each other and go on this journey to a better us with great friends. Share our success and failures along the way, cheer each other on, wether you already have support from your family and friends or from nobody at all like I've unfortunately seen from some, lets make sure we definitely have each other to lean on! btw they say you normally gain weight around the holidays, are we crazy?! haha

my surgery is 12/17/16

Yes ma'am .. it takes me all day to get in maybe 20 oz of Water and 12 oz of Protein Drink ( 30 mg). I'm still trying my best. I am still sore and gas pains gone but my belly feels it's really , really small. I have not felt sick since discharge but today I feel really sick and weak today. I became nauseated when I drank some of my Protein Shake and then I just became sick. I will be okay. We both will. We are still healing. I have been able to use bathroom after taking dulcolax. So that's good because I was very constipated. I just don't feel good today ????????????

@@Dknal2 I am drinking the Isopure Protein Drinks and omg! It takes me past 8 pm (and I start at 8 am) to finish it. I am still sore and gas pains are still here! Hope you are doing better than me.

Congratulations... welcome to the losers bench!!!!

Surgery was yesterday, and so far feeling pretty good! Did have some gas pains last night but better today. Some discomfort but overall not too bad! Should be able to g0 home this afternoon, then on with the rest of my new life!

My VSG will be on December 21st.

I've never had surgery before. I'm sooooo nervous!

Trying think of it like an extremely expensive Christmas gift to myself. A gift that will allow me to live longer, with more joy and less limitations.

I had a scare. My potassium levels were low due to my having to take a diuretic for swelling from lymphedema, and m doctor wanted to cancel my December 20th surgery.. I had to go off the diuretic starting Saturday, and I got retested yesterday. I put as much potassium-rich foods in my system, and I was lucky to have my numbers back up. I pray nothing gets in the way now.

Definitely stop taking the diuretic, and continue eating the foods high in potassium. Mine was low for the same reason, and the morning of my surgery they delayed me and gave me two potassium drips to get it up to surgery levels in order to continue. My discharge instructions they took me off the diuretic. Keep following their orders.

I am feeling the same way today just sick and weak. I am trying to take in more liquids and it seems as if no one understands that you can not gulp down everything right away. Hope you feeling better today. Just one day at a time is what I keep telling myself. Going on a walk later on with my kids so hopefully I should feel better.
