Hey all! There are sooo many topics out there and the one I see for August was for last year! Let’s discuss, the good and the bad! I am having my surgery in August. I have one more supervised visit and the off the insurance I go!

I am having a revision done 8/13. The liquid diet hasn’t been too bad (mind over matter, right?). I’ve lost 4 pounds in 4 days so that alone has kept me motivated.

Until yesterday, I'd lost 9lbs (for 6 days worth of liquid diet), but this morning I gained 1.4 of it back which has be SUPER perplexed because not a single thing changed...I didn't eat more, didn't eat at any different time of day, didn't cheat. I'm like wtf? Lol. I'm gonna see what happens tomorrow morning...maybe my scale was just weird.

that damn scale throw it out the window lol tomorrow will be better

?LOL?

I gain if I don’t drink enough water.

Anyone scheduled around August 31st in Tijuana? My doctor is Ponce.

So how is everyone feeling that had surgery this week? I had it Monday and I'm ok I have alot of pressure in my tummy still. Also I don't think I can take one more sweet thing like popcyles and jello, also i have always loved chicken noodle broth but I think after this I will hate it!

I was sleeved Monday, feeling great. Getting more protein in. Cold drinks and jello make my gas pain worst but overall I'm feeling really good!

I had my sleeve on August 8. Came home yesterday. Starting to feel soreness and coughing. But okay for the most part.

Any questions inbox me.

How before you started losing after surgery. I feel like I gained since my surgery on monday

You probably have the fluids they pumped into your body while,you,had a an IV plus there probably is fluid and swelling internally from the assault on your body.Yeah you wanted it but your gastrointestinal system is "crying", it says "why, oh why did YOU let them do this to ME? I thought we were friends?" Gradually the "water weight" will leave and you will start again on your weight descent. It's ALL GOOD after all.? ??

What pill? Is that the emend?

Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal App

Yes the horribly expensive Emend. I found a GoodRX coupon which bring the price down to $120 for 2 pills.

I must have really good insurance (not bragging, still shocked), I was surprised it was covered and paid $40 for all my pre / post op Meds yesterday. I was expecting to use the emend coupon I found online and didn't need to.

No you should brag. If my medicines were $40 I would brag and choregraph a victory dance. My doctor warned me it would be expensive so I was prepared. My biggest fear now is when I take the Emend it will slip out of my hand and fall into the AC vent. That would be just my luck.

Omgosh I pay about 25 for my vitamins for 2 months. I would die if I had to pay more! We can take tums as calcium though so that cut cost a lot.
