I’m having surgery tomorrow and I just want to know...

It really depends on your own tolerance level. Everyone heals different and at their own pace. A lot of those foods you mentioned caused so much discomfort for the first nine 9 months, I didn't even want to look at them. But at nearly 15 months out I can eat almost an entire slice of NYC slice sized pizza but it is still rather uncomfortable. And its really not something I indulge in more than once or twice a month because I feel so bloated afterwards. Burgers, if I take off the top fluffier part of the bun, I can eat half of a restaurant sized burger.

I am not going to preach, but regain is real, my friend. Just be careful and remember--salad is on almost every menu.

Hi Everybody!

thanks for all the input! I’m definitely ready for the surgery, last night I was just REALLY hungry and I’m the midst of an anxiety attack. I hope I never desire any of those things again, and I’m looking forward to experiencing a life of moderation! Sorry for the scare! And thanks for the well wishes!

Good luck on your WLS journey

Hi Y’all! I’m four days out and still in the hospital. Overall I’m doing well, but was having slight complications with my bladder so I’ve stayed to be on the safe side. Really excited to start this journey, and thankful for everybody and their support.

Wow 4 days you must be going crazy to get out. So sorry about the complications are you having trouble urinating? I struggled the first 24 hours but it was the Dilaudid for me.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
