Stupid Question .... Protein Shakes
pinkbwlr16 replied to ShrinkyDinkMe22's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My dr said forever. -
I am 13 days post off and still on a clear liquid diet with 3 protein shakes a day. I am currently taking in 4 protein shakes and still finding myself so hungry. Is anyone else running into this so early on and if so what are you doing to curb the hunger?

My dr prescribed me Prevacid dissolvable tablets , I'm bad and stopped taking then cause they made me feel nauseous. Ill have to try taking them again to see if that helps. Who would have though acid reflux would cause hunger. Thank you for your suggestion.

When Can I Drive.?
pinkbwlr16 replied to thetruedream's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was allowed to drive as long as I wasn't on pain meds, didn't matter the time since surgery. -
4 Months Out, I'm Having A Drink!

I've heard if you do like beer to do a draft beer, helps cut down on the carbonation. Enjoy your drink. -
Diarrhea Post-Op?
pinkbwlr16 replied to Ready4success's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 10 day post op and the explosions will continue to come, if your going at all. The other night I swear I literally cleared every ounce of liquid I had in my system out with one bm. Just keep drinking fluids and you'll be ok. -
I was sleeved aug 21st and don't get to start puréed until week 5. Hoping when I see my doc next week for my post op appt they may let me move on faster. I've never eaten this many Popsicles in my life. Lol jealous of everyone losing the inches. I'm down from 221 at surgery day to 209 today, definitely happy about the weight ive lost but wanna see my inches go away too.

My surgeon put me on the injections 3 times a week because my levels were so low.

Contest- How Many Sugar Free Popsicles Have You Had...
pinkbwlr16 replied to Marty McSkinnystein's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had 5 yesterday. It's the easiest way for me to get in my liquids. -
Just be patient. I started feeling better day 5 and feel even better everyday now.

Urinary Tract Infection
pinkbwlr16 replied to Jr425's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on the 21st and have one currently. They told me mine is pretty bad and glad I came in today about it. They gave me a liquid antibiotic to take to get rid of it. I'm trying to drink more water, definitely know easier said than done. Also trying to eat more Popsicles cause those are easier to get in. I also picked up a sugar free slurpee to try and get in more fluids. -
How long after surgery was it before you could sleep on your stomach again? I have always been a tummy sleeper until surgery.

Did Anyone Use An Abdominal Binder After Surgery?
pinkbwlr16 replied to VSGRachel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have some but don't think I would like something so tight against my stomach and incisions. The ones I have are a tank top with the binder in the middle and got them from target and Ross. They are Maidenform brand. -
Sleeping On Your Tummy
pinkbwlr16 replied to pinkbwlr16's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you all for your responses. Maybe I just need to start being a baby and try it. I've tried turning to my side and I feel like im pulling my stomach, so i just stay on my back. -

When Did You Move From All Clear To Full Liquid?
pinkbwlr16 replied to gingersnap's topic in Food and Nutrition
I'm cleared to do full liquids day 8 after surgery. But a questions for everyone.....looking over my paperwork the only difference between clear liquids and full liquids is the protein shake. Do other people have other differences? -
Thank you for sharing this, because California rolls were my fav before surgery and so far what I'm missing most post surgery. Eating only 2 will definitely be a different pace from what I'm used to eating. But at this point I'll take anything.

Having Trouble Getting Protein And Water
pinkbwlr16 replied to angelofmercy36's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you just had surgery on the 21st I can't believe they already have you starting food. I had my surgery the same day and I know every dr is different, but I'm not allowed to start puréed food until week 5 and no protein until a week after surgery. I would go with what everyone else is suggesting which is also what I'm doing. Water water water first, I'm struggling with that still. Then when you can get that down try protein. -
Incisions Itch At 4 Week?
pinkbwlr16 replied to pattivalvo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not even a week out and some of mine are starting to itch. -
That's roughly what I'm getting to as well. Am trying to squeeze in a cup of broth as well. When I left the hospital I was told to be getting in 80 oz a day, before surgery that would have been a breeze, right not its hard just getting in the 20-30.
-
I had surgery on the 21st. Other thank walking I've done quite a bit of relaxing. The last couple of days when I go to get outta bed and stand up straight or get up off the toilet, it feels like my largest incision is ripping. This just happened again and brought me to tears. Is anyone going through this or should I call my on call nurse?

Congrats!! Im so excited for you!!
