3nuthut

3 weeks now and have EXACT same thing. Tum is waking up and this is expected. It’ll get better with time.

Peirogi’s and potato pancakes are some of the things I had.

Had my first soft food today and had a potato pierogi. I could only finish one but I felt like I ate 5. Wow, I’m super excited about how fast I will be full. I’m a band to sleeve revision so I don’t feel as frustrated with not being able to eat more (because I was starving). I did feel that way the first time I went through this process. But the more you feel satisfied with what you do eat vs what you weren’t able to eat, that’s when you star to change the mind. I used to think ‘OMG, I can’t wait until we go out to dinner so I can eat that WHOLE plate of carne asada, with an enchilada an the side. Now I just can’t wait to taste a couple bites of meat and know I’ll be just as satisfied and full. So happy to have this tool!

Boy, the mind is so powerful. We’re all here going or have gone through this. It’s a learning process. You’ll be happy one minute and hell bent the next. From my own experience, learning to chew and savor your bites really does help. And that only comes from practice. I’ve spent a lifetime mindlessly eating or feeling like conquering the plate to be satisfied. I’ve gone through frustration, depression and just being pissed off. To me this is the worst addition because you HAVE to eat, so you are temped everyday, multiple times. This tool forces me to change and it is a huge change. Deciding to have surgery means I’ve needed help to stop the madness. It’s all a withdrawal/learning experience that will make you come out a healthy winner. Just chalk this up as one of those times and find a routine before it gets out of control. Everyone is here for you with great advice and tips. You got this!

2 weeks for me. The anesthesia alone makes me exhausted. My first day back today and I’m good enough to last the whole day. But each person is different.

I take unflavored GenePro. I got it from Amazon and it’s 30 grams for a small scoop. I put it in my mug of chicken broth. You can put this in anything. I hate shakes!

I had my first bm day 13 post op. I didn’t worry too much since anesthesia and the fact that I’m liquids. I think I’ve taken 3 softeners since surgery. I’m day 14 post op.

This is when it really hits home. You are going through food withdrawals. I just had a revision from band to sleeve and I’m 14 days post and feeling the same thing, just not as intense as the first time around. Just don’t push it, please. Let the internal incision heal. I also just had my 2 week dr visit today and 6 more days until mushy to semi solids. You can do this. You’ll make it through and look back and be glad you did. Protein helps keep you full. I hate shakes and put unflavored GenePro in my broth. It’s a little scoop that has 30 grams and it really keeps you from feeling hungry. I hope this helps!

They considered it pre-existing

I started a new job Dec of 2017. My last successful fill was Oct 2017 but my issues started in April of 2018 that lead to the revision. My revision was on Aug 13 and I e been out for 2 weeks. It’s only for one week, but my pay is critical for me to live! The denial on my claim states that the Oct. visit was for my “Condition”. WTF?

Ok, so 2 hours after I had a glass of milk last night I had cramps and fever. I’ve been on the pot every 1/2 hour ever since. I’m now pooping dust but still have diarrhea cramps. Fever has gone up and down. I was doing great with liquid intake up until last night but so turned off by drinking much except water. Should I go get an iv bag for hydration? How do you know you’re dehydrated? I’m going to call dr but I know some of you have gone back to get fluids... what were you feeling to make you think you were dehydrated? Thanks guys!

I’m right there with you in the broth. Here’s what I add for more flavor to the bone broth. Hope suggestions help!

Hahaha, I know that’s right! Take a ride! Glad you’re doing good.

Looking fantastic girl!!! Keep it up!

All went well. For the most part the pain feels like acid reflux??? Pop cycles help sooth the burning feeling but still there. Protein shakes is helping too. @TaylorMade4One are you still hungry? I’m kinda getting that way too.
