Rainy, you are so right! Not once did he ask them about their eating habits. You can sit around eating bon bons, take s pill an be thin in a few months. As much as I would like to be and as much as I know from experience! Lol it just broke my heart. I would love to share my surgery experience as not so good as it has been just to help her one day smile!

It's not everything...depends on my day. Eggs, and grits all 4 bites came up i took about 10 mins to eat those 4 bites but I either couldn't handle it or I ate to fast. Same with protein shake that morning. I may have taken a few sips faster than i should so it was either me sippin to fast or the shake itself. I know it's Trial and error.

I read some where that it should take me 5 mins to one ounce of food. Is this true for most of you. My food, water, mess, etc come back up frequently and I wonder if it's self inflicted with how quick I'm drinking or eating. I try to take my time and feel I'm going slow.

I was moved to purreds day 11. It's been A Lot Of trial and error. Most foods I tried came back up. Either the food or me eating to fast. This is a major challenge for me. Good luck!

I went to the hospital at day 4 post op for high fever. The dr's ran more test to just be sure Bo leak and said he would know by my appearance. I would be DEATHLY Ill. When he walked in and seen me sitting up he Said he felt releif! I had cellulitis or infection under incision. That landed me another 4 days of iv antibiotics! I was releived though that they found the source of the fever! (:

I start pureed foods Tuesday and am looking for more than a few ideas other than chicken salad, tuna salad, and soups...... Anything would help. I also start back to work the same day so things I can pack would be great as well.

The first 4 days were the most painful. I had complications so I'm still nursing one incision that's wide open. Im two weeks out and would be in zero pain if it wasn't for my open wound, all my other incisions are healed and just a tiny bit tender. Hang on, you will get releif!

Obviously

Good luck on your journey to finding a dr. It was stressful in the beggining trying to figure out who to choose. Ask many questions and track record is a lot and experience. Good luck again. I

I was sleeved on may 17th. Had infection and spent another 4 days in the hospital. I went back this last tues with a big open wound however I sit at a desk and am still weak!

Sleeved may 17th and down 21 lbs however, I was in the hospital 4 days on day 4 for infection so iv meds and sickness I'm sure had much to do with it.

I can't seem to get down more than one protein shake a day. I'm almost two weeks post op and even just drinking water gives me that worst indigestion. I'm on prilosec twice daily and I feel no difference. At times I could vomit. What am I Doing wrong?

I had ice Chips day 2, and my dr ordered chamomile tea warm . He said It relaxes the stomach muscles and promoted healing! Try apple juice, water, and pop sickles. I was do thirsty all I wanted was water and ice chips.

How long should it take to drink a protein shake? Il

I'm two weeks post op tomorrow. I started mushies yesterday and am not feeling any better. I stay weak and thirsty and all I do is sip sip sip!

I live in florida and today the high was 92. I dot do much in the summer unless it involves water or air conditioning. I just left my sons pre k graduation and my hair was soaken wet and forehead pouring beads of water. I cannot wait to be COLD! I also sweat so bad at night that my covers have to be changed almost daily. They smell so bad. I always thought it was a hormone issue but I'm really hoping this resolves as it interfere with my life daily.

I will ask about that! Ty

Omar use to work under Trish...he is probably using the same forms Trish used! Sad... I just had surgery with Dr. Ponce and he is awesome. His record is clean and he loves what he does. Trish also is a blessing. She was there for me through the entire journey. From the time I arrived to even today checking on me! Without her we Would have been lost! Choose carefully!

I didn't want to be seen and I also cared what others thought. My fiancé use to get so angry with me. He loved me that way and so should everyone else. He did not understand that I didn't feel good enough and that I was always being judged. My ex is verbally abusive and that started getting to me as well. I am 12 days out and down 21 lbs. It's amazing how much this has helped my self esteem! You are makin the first decision towards a happier life and even with my complications I would do it all again!

Melissa d, I was sleeved on may 17 and just got out of the hospital with an infection in my main middle incision. I had the worst pain. Fever hit me day 4 and I was in the er. It was high. The surgeon had to cut me back open and clean my infection. 3 days of iv antibiotics, and home on another. My incision is Prob 3 inches deep mo Joke and wide open. I was also dehydrated and low potassium and all I did was sip sip sip! Hope for your sake it's not an infection. Keep us posted. This has been a very hard time for me and my family but I'm thankful it wasn't serious or life threatening!

I cannot think of anything that qualified for this stage except some cream soups. I need to take advantage of this stage to test my tummy and get some nutrients.

I don't Plan on bread for a long time but i couldn't help but wonder why they say no bread. I can see how it will swell. I'm sticking to my diet exactly but thinking ahead! Lol

Im on full liquids and next is pureed but curious how some of you introduce real food?

Sleeved on may 17th, home Monday the 21st, at the hospital that night with high fever. Ended up being infection of incision. Surgery tues to clean infection, home thurs night. This has been one heck of a ride. Still have fever just taking meds as I should and praying this is gone entirely with no relapse! For those considering this surgery go for it just prepare for complications. I've cried daily at the stress I've caused my family. I feel guilty that i can't do anything much to help while I watch my fiancé stress and get overwhelmed! Ugh bright side I've lost 15 lbs.
