New York Beauty

I had surgery Nov 6, 2012. If you had foot surgery and did not need pills you wont need any for this surgery. If you walk and get up and down keep stretching those ab muscles you will be fine. On the 4th day after surgery I was walking my son to the bus stop and cleaning my house...

I tried it today. I could not wait to try food but it is all not cracked up to what it used to be.... Applesauce made me throw up and mash potatoes felt like it was stuck in chest. I had to lay down and actually fell asleep and woke up feeling better... Take your time and don't be surpised that after 1 spoonful you may be full....

I took nothing I had no pain at all...Put buy liquid tylenol that helped me when I had a fever and was so much better than crushed pills (yuk)

I had the patch and all the medications. From my experience nothing helped. I vomitted the first 2 days. I asked them to take me off the pain meds and that helped out alot. The nurses kept pressing the pain pump button and I was not in pain. They said it put me to sleep and out of the discomfort of throwing up... Everyone is different you may not having any epsiodes at all!

Very helpful...thank you

Oh man that sucks. If anything pre write a letter with your health issues and emotions due to your weight and ask your ob to write a letter for insurance company recommending the surgery is necessary

Omg really that is quick be careful dont do to much to quick.

Congrats honey! It will be here before you know it....

Hi Kim and Election Day Sleevers, I am a Nov 6- Election Day Sleever. I have not been on any pain meds, During my hospital stay the general anesthesia and pain meds were making me throw up and I have no belly pain at all. The day I was to come home I was able to keep down liquids. I hate anything cold i can only tolerate warm and hot fluids. I hate anything with a fruity taste. Everything I like prior to sugar I can't stand. I was a sweets eater and even some sugar free products are to much for me. I love chicken broth with a little bit of seasoning. I am shocked you tried mash potatoes...I tried unsweetened applesauce with my vitamins and it felt like razors in my stomach. I can not tolerate any dairy at all... I am planning on going back to work maybe the week of Thanksgiving. I only do minor cleaning at my home which is not normally the case. ( Before I went in for surgery I did a super major clean). I found 2 protein shakes I like and plan on trying new recipes with them so I don't get bored with the taste. My bandages came off and the scabs are so itchy but I am done 16lbs and every morning when I wake up it feels like Christmas. The first thing I do is look in my full length mirror then weigh myself. I hope by the end of November I am in the 100's and can begin to tone my body. God Bless you with your journey!

Got you honey.

I'm in the same boat with you. Muscle Milk is lactose free and I can tolerate it so far. I think I am going to try soy milk no more 1%milk for me... Good look Honey!

Also God bless with your journey.

Hey New York girls. I'm from Long Island NY. Good to see people close to me new_york_beauty on instragram

I brought my scarf was to weak to put it on so my short blonde bob was curling up and the nurses would brush my hair when I was vomiting. They were so sweet!
