How on earth will I ever be able to get in 64oz of water and 60gms of protein!?!? I had my surgery on 8/26. At this point I am handling 1/2 of a protein drink (15gms protein ) and small sips of water. Is There light at the end of the tunnel?

I was able to finish an entire pudding cup today at one week out. Of course it was VERY SLOWLY but I was surprised I could do it at all. Normal????

When was your surgery? -
Your stomach will rupture? Like the line where they stapled it will get weak and break? I'm sorry for being negative, but this is the kind of thing that occupies my mind

Did you experience nausea? Seems I can't hold much down if I don't take my anti-nausea pills. Please share your experiences.

I will be one week out tomorrow. Today I am having sleeve pain after I drink. Its a quick pain. Its like I can feel the liquid moving through and then a bit of pain comes. I've cut way back on the pain Med so maybe I'm just feeling more? Please share if you have experienced this. Thanks.

Start exercising? I am anxious to begin but don't want to risk rupturing my pouch.

Night Sweats NOT caused by Menapause or Perimenapause
meggspeggs replied to MINI-Me's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have suffered from night sweats, except mine have been for treats. One leading cause is sleep apnea. Mine Are a result of polycystic ovarian syndrome. My hormones are constantly fluctuating. For the time being try the cool pajamas designed for us night sweaters. -

Chris how soon after surgery did you start exercising? And how much more do you have to lose? Congratulations on your success! -
I am wondering how those of you with PCOS have done since your weight loss? I Have heard it really seems to do well after WLS. I lost a ton of hair from the PCOS. I am hoping to grow some back as the PCOS improves....

I have extremely thin and extremely curly hair. I'm sure down the road I will be near bald. Can anyone suggest where to get a hair piece? Or maybe a type?

I'm having serious anxiety about what I've done. Its hard to explain. I am feeling scared that I changed my internal body. I'm scared that down the road they are going to find that gastric sleeving is dangers. Unlike the by pass it is not reversible. And now its too late. Please tell me others have felt like this...I had mine done 8/26/11

Blackberry are you a doctor? I think its great that you talked to your patient. It is very comforting knowing that a medical professional is supportive. -
What are you drinking your water out of???
meggspeggs replied to Sunny702's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm using the water jug from the hospital. It is nicely marked and has a straw or a flap that opens for sipping. Its working great. -
Anyone have tips on how to reduce hair loss?
-
Kala that is so funny that you mention an apocolyptic event. Same thing ran through my head!!! Lol:)

This is a great point. I am an RN so I know the physiological effect of water pills. Some take potassium with them as they flush out the water. This can cause serious cardiac issues. Accompanied with the stomach flu=no good! I'm glad you're doing better and thanks for sharing.

Good luck Amy!!!!
-
Pain is definitely under control. Procedure went well. Yes I am up and walking. Eating on the other hand hasn't been so good. I did great while I was in the hospital. When I got home I was barely able to keep water down. My Dr. Called in something for nausea, so hopefully it will improve. At this point I'm doing water and flat Ginger ale.

Have any of you used ice on your abdomen to help with pain control and swelling? Wondering if its okay or a no no????
