    I agree the prevacid works for me, it curbs the hunger feeling. Try it and don't risk a visit to ICU. Carla

    Frustrated

    cwalker replied to Texie's topic in Insurance & Financing

    I know this sounds crazy but all my life when asked my height I always rattled off 5'9" so imagine my suprize when the Dr. measured me and I was a full inch shorter and it definitely rasied my BMI. It's worth a shot anyway if the second sleep study doesen't come through for you. Carla

    Day 3 of full liquids

    cwalker replied to escapesunshine's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions

    I lived on Onion Soup from the Japanese Resturant, warmed it a little and added small amount of unflavored gnc whey protien, it was what sustained me the most, mushies are better but you can only hold 2-3 spoonfuls but the weight is coming off:)

    I'm so sorry, go to website and if it's still not covered, contact your Human Resouce dept and ask them why it's not covered, maybe they can add it or consider a no interest loan. Carla

    and it has been hard, do you just jump in with 3 meals and two snacks? If I can't get the mushies in I guess I should stay on liquids...but my Doctor didnt have a full liquid stage. any words of wisdom?:thumbup1:

    I bought the GNC unflavored whey protien and added a little to the broth and drank the k20 water and it really helped me. It is totally unflavored and I heated the broth a little before adding. Good Luck! Carla

    you'll probably know within 12 hrs of your surgery, I came home the next day. I didn't need anyone but my hubby was here outside on the tractor. A recliner is wonderful the first few days. Better safe than sorry tho in case something happened and you couldn't act for yourself. Carla

    Thanks guys, it just seemed as if you get in 2 oz liquid with no problem on the clears that it wouldnt be a problem on the mushies..but it is a big difference so I backed up and started on smoothies with greek yogurt and soups blenderized,got to remember to get liquids in. I feel great even drove myself 2 hrs to see Doctor 8 days post op..yay for the grannies!!:001_smile:

    I was sleeved on the 29th, right behind you. I hope things get better for you. It is a adjustment thats for sure. Go see Doctor and feel better soon. Carla:001_smile:

    cwalker replied to Curvyjudy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Post Op Clears to full liquids

    cwalker replied to Dalisgirl's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions

    I have 8 days full clears and then 21 days mushies...I swear I have been looking at mushies recipes and drooling.lol:lol0:

    I hope things went well for you today, I remember going to UHC website and looked under other services and that's where the BRS was. Carla

    I forget to sip and take bigger drinks and it's ok, no pain, I burp and all is well, is that normal? I keep trying for small but forget.
  23. cwalker
    I'm still in clear liquids but I haven't thrown up once, no nausea what so ever, I worried about spasms and didn't have those either and am glad I didn't they sounded bad, It is hard to get in the 64 oz daily because it's so important to stay hydrated but I write down every oz.lol Your going to be fine,ask for the meds to help with the pain/nausea and it'll be over before you know it.:lol0: Carla
  24. cwalker
    My surgery was 3 days ago in Houston and the pain isn't as bad as you imagine, just use the pain meds to make you comfortable and get past the first 12 hours. I was walking within 2 hrs and made 3 rounds everyone is different but your goning to be fine.Carla:thumbup:
  25. cwalker
    Goodlife, are you feeling like you are past the worst part yet? I haven't had to take any gas x but I burp ALOT and my incisions are itchy. I can take bigger sips than before also. just wondering.Carla:confused1:
