Congrats and good luck!

All I can say is that after two surgeries in five years (sleeve, then revision to bypass) I've never thrown up from overeating. A few times if I ate more than I should I felt very uncomfortably full and even had to lie down to relax a couple of times, but never even close to puking.

As long as you eat VERY slowly at first you'll quickly learn your limitations. Just be sure to move from the mindset of cleaning your plate, although if you weigh and measure everything and have the appropriate small portions you should be able to finish what's on your plate without stuffing yourself.

Maybe a silly question but was anyone told to take off their nail and toe polish before surgery?

I think I had to my nails unpolished. They watch them (or someone does) while they're operating to make sure they don't turn blue.

They ask you remove nail polish so they can see the colour of your natural nail to check your circulation. Also sometimes nail polish can affect the accuracy of the instrument that clips onto your finger to measure your pulse & blood oxygenation levels.

All the best with your surgery & recovery.

Weight isn't coming off as fast as I thought it would. I've had a few days of not feeling well but so far only 1 dumping episode.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
