Just stay busy - TV movies friends etc.

It will be a long week but i used one tool to get thru it sleep - Whenever i got all wound up i would just crash, PM meds and call it a day.

Good luck and reach out here this is a great support group, broth will fill you up so you wont be hungry it will be more of a mind F@#cking then a hunger thing -

It will be really worth it and spend the time wisely -

You are getting a tool but you have to get the whole workshop ready - Use this week to do that

Good luck

I only say it’s hell because I have a Migraine. My body is NOT used to being this restricted. But I’m gonna stick with it! I want this more than anything.

Thanks for the advice! I’m working up until the day before and that’s where my mind has been. I just have such an awful headache 😖😖😖

Whine away that is what this place is for -

I am going to get attacked for this one for sure, but going to say it anyhow. I found the use of liquids like Tito's special Protein Water, and Red and White Wine weight lose formula a help for that week also. Also find a Spouse or Friend you can pass the time with them - Lots of little tricks on this site as to how to get thru it

Ok Girls attack i know its wrong but just sharing my experience of hell week

Careful with aspirin. I was not allowed any pain reliever other than Tylenol which stinks and never worked for headaches for me. Actually I'm only allowed Tylenol going forward post op too! A little worried because I get Migraines so I feel your pain. But I've had no headaches post op so far! Good luck you'll do great!

I keep hearing other sleeve people say that they are only allowed tylenol yet I went home from the surgery with a script for ibuprofen! Was told to alternate it with tylenol and take oxy as needed. Additionally we were told that if we wanted or needed to take NSAIDS for anything after surgery, have the sleeve. Not sure if my doc is progressive or behind haha

I was also sent home with Oxy I never took. Never needed any pain reliever luckily. I know NSAIDS are generally harsh on the stomach I'm sure short term post op not a problem but long term not good for tiny stomachs. Every doctor is different as we frequently see lol 😂

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
