How are you feeling? I started my FMLA today to do laundry, clean the house, and do all the crazy pre-op stuff they've asked me to do. At least if we're keeping busy, there's no time to freak out, right? (I'll save that for when they're wheeling me in, lol.)

Hey! So this was a lot rougher than I had anticipated. I'm on day 3 and still very naseaus and vomiting. Gas pains are terrible and I am doing my best to keep walking. My BP was very elevated in the hospital and I ended up staying instead of it being a day surgery due to the nausea and vomiting. I am only able to get 1oz down of Protein Shake and that takes me over an hour. I am able to keep Water down but that also takes me so long. Hoping as the days go on things will improve! They have to! I am definitely in the "I wish I never did this" stage.

You can do this! I’m so sorry you’re having such a rough go of things. You really can do this and things WILL get better! Keep doing what you know you’re supposed to do. Remember all the reasons why you decided to take this step and keep your eyes on your goal. It WILL be worth it!!! Sending strength and big hugs to you! 💕

Hey, GreenThumb! How are you doing?! Just checking in with you to see how things are going since your surgery. Sending best wishes your way! 💕

Mine went well and I’m doing great. Down 17 lbs total, 7 since the surgery. I hope the rest of you are adapting well also.

You are welcome! Good to hear you are doing better. I’m counting down my days until my surgery on the 9th! I’m nervous but I know I’ll be okay. I have a very supportive husband who keeps reminding me everything will be fine. 🤞🏻 Wish me luck! 😊

My surgery is scheduled for 2/17. I started the pre-op diet 2 days ago. I'm not a fan of this let me tell you.

It is soo hard! My surgeon didn't require a long liquid diet. Only the day before. Best of luck to you, it is something that challenges you mentally for sure. Take care of you!
