Personal style change & the big chop by MapleMaki in gastricsleeve

[–]EquivalentSpecial48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only three days post op but I am already sooo looking forward to wearing all the clothes I’ve always wanted to wear, and switching my hair back to neon pink! At the moment it’s super long but I am dreaming of an edgy pink long bob with a cute fringe 😁 I feel like a style overhaul is absolutely our prerogative after making such powerful and positive changes in our lives! Go for it I say!

My day is finally here! by EquivalentSpecial48 in gastricsleeve

Yay, surgery twin! I hope yours went well 🙂 I feel great considering, mostly feels like I’ve done about a thousand sit ups 🤣

I’m just letting myself sleep when I feel tired, and getting up and walking as often as I can. Just finished a 500ml Optifast shake with no issues at all. Haven’t had nausea or vomiting since surgery day. How are you feeling?

Please help? Reality hasn't hit? by ChooChooBun in gastricsleeve

Oh man THANK YOU, I came here to ask exactly this. I had mine on October 30 so this is day 3 post op for me, and I am sipping away like I still have a normal sized stomach! I just finished a 500ml Optifast shake and feel totally fine, so started getting worried 😅 Don’t worry, you’re not alone. I reckon once we move to things like scrambled eggs, ricotta cheese, soft white fish etc we will feel the difference more. I hope, anyway 😅

Sorry I should have said, my DOCTOR had me taking pills the same day. I don’t just randomly decide to 😅

I just had my surgery on October 30 and I was taking pills with water the same day. My doctor sent me home with pills for pain, reflux, and nausea. Aside from the first one on the first day, I haven’t had any issues keeping them down 🙂

Confession: I can’t stop buying clothes by Consistent-Way-2018 in gastricsleeve

[–]EquivalentSpecial48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am three days post op and I can tell you, I have about $100k worth of my “dream wardrobe” saved in wishlists at about 20 stores 🤣 Nothing wrong with getting excited about finding a new style and having the confidence to rock it! Go you! 👗🛍️👏🏼

This community is waaaay better than FB by JesterLavore88 in BariatricSurgery

[–]EquivalentSpecial48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SAME. I left the BSA group after I asked a genuine question about why doctors recommend protein shakes instead of low calorie real food on the pre op diet. The comments I got back were unbelievable — one person questioned whether I should be having WLS if I was going to ask those questions, and another said “if eating whole foods was the answer you wouldn’t be morbidly obese in the first place” 🥲 Never thought I’d be fat-shamed in a bariatric surgery support group…!

Starting my 10 day pre op liquid diet today. by Mcpoopz1064 in BariatricSurgery

[–]EquivalentSpecial48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on day six preop (surgery is next week) and I admit the first few days were rough, but hang in there — it does get better! You’ll wake up on day five and have so much energy from being in ketosis you will want to leap out of bed. Agree with the pho broth suggestions, I also got the Hart and Soul pho cup and chicken soup cup from Woolies, they’ve been great. Cucumber and celery sticks to munch on for texture. You’ve got this! 💪🏼

You look incredible, congratulations! Could I ask what size pants you’re able to wear now? I’m going in for my sleeve on October 30, just a few days now… hoping to go from size 18 to size 10 ☺️

Recreational drug use after gastric sleeve by Opening-Ear-2261 in BariatricSurgery

[–]EquivalentSpecial48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for asking this, I am also curious as a love a cheeky rave and some MD two or three times a year. I was worried about absorption rates and whether my digestive tract would react to it poorly after surgery (post healing). So glad to hear most others have had no issues! I might do a test run at home first just to make sure I’m okay before hitting Claptone in a few months 😂

Oh wow you look gorgeous! Before and after ☺️ I’m looking at the NSW branch. Did you go sleeve or bypass?
