So, I want to start a thread where everyone can just vent about their surgery. Even if you haven't had it yet.

I'm sure we've all had our fair share of ups and downs throughout this whole journey. Sometimes, it's nice to talk about your frustrations without judgement. And what better place to talk about what you're going through, than with people who also have had similar situations.

So let's start! [emoji4]

My advice is to practice now. Really. I've had countless times where I've ate too fast and ended up eating too much and having everything come right back up. It's not pretty. Lol. But after awhile, you do get into a routine. You can do it! [emoji4]

Thank you!

I bought baby forks and spoons. It really did help a lot too

I saw a utube video of a wl surgeon suggesting his parents use smaller plates and cocktail forks n spoons to help

Can't stand hospital staff treatment... assembly line mentality! I am an individual!

I understand! Just had my physical, lost 10 lbs so far on my own. Now I have to make more appointments, get time off of work, write in my good journal, make sure I plan out my meals....trust me it works, but it's exhausting. I think after I'm approved and the appointments slow down, I'll be ok. I haven't much time to myself lately and I'm just tired. I'm not regretkng anything, Its like having a second job!

I'm 13 months post op and I've lost over 200 pounds. But I remember like it was yesterday waiting to get approved. It took me over a year to finally get a date for surgery. I wish you all the best! And if you have any questions, I'm here! [emoji4]

Oooh i love this! Im a bag of nerves. Still in the process of getting approved.. and its all i can think abt.

Constipation sucks, I used to be regular multiple times a day. This is my only complain.

Constipation does suck. I eventually had to get a prescription to help it. No longer need to take it though thankfully[emoji4]

So far my only complaint is that I waited to long to start this process. Back in June I was thinking about how I wanted to do WLS and told some people who talked me out of it. So. MUCH. REGRET. It's okay, I'm sticking to it this time around.

Decided to check back in on this thread with a mini update. Im almost done with all my pre op appointments. The only things i have left are an endoscopy and two NUT appointments. Upper gi was a horrid experience :x
