    Did you know it's illegal in most countries for an MD to treat a cancer patient with " nutritional therapy"... Makes you think.. Hmm... Please watch Food Matters, it's on Netflix.. Its alittle slow but very eyeopening.. Watch till the end

    I have the On Q ball catheter inside one of my sutures. They said to remove it on Sunday by myself. I'm afraid it's going to hurt. Anyone pull there's out bythemselves before and did it hurt. Since it's full of lidocaine they said it should be numb but it totally freaks me out.

    lol i dont think this is a problem with just the sleeve.. its a combo of loose stools and extra amount of gas.. If you have never in your life heard of it then maybe you should be fine :-)
  6. megannadine
    bahaha... I was actually considering posting something like this..lol (raise my hand) Its when you have gas and you feel like farting but when you push it out there happened to be loose bowels in front and it kinda came out a bit...lol usually effects those with diarrhea

    Man I am jealous...lol Im not going to lie.. I was having some serious Head hunger issues that I took a piece of my husbands chicken yesterday chewed it up savored the taste then spit it out and washed my mouth out.... let me tell you I was sooo embarrassed for myself even if no one knew.. BUT after that i ate some broth and finally had my first FULL feeling. It took me a couple days to understand what it was I was feeling.

    Well here is the thing... my MD said for the first week until I see him... I can only drink the Clear liquids,jello, and broth. No Protein drinks arent on the list until stage 2. I thought it was weird too as i'm doing pretty good.. but Honestly I feel great, Im not tired, not dizzy, nothing.... yesterday was the first day I got in a good amount of liquids.. not clearly enough but way better then before..

    On Q Ball Removal.. Did It Hurt?

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

    So I took it out and it didnt hurt... 100% yes it helped.. Im actually sad I took it out... It was supplying pain managment to the BIG incision I NEVER even felt that incision until NOW.. BOO..lol if you have a choice to get one GET IT.. it makes a world of difference. It allowed my first couple of days alittle relief then what it would have been.

    if he wasnt up to going to watch you.. why couldn't he just stay at home and put his feet up and relax. I know you probably want him there to see you but it depends on what is more important to you.. Secondly, there are a ton of half marathons all the time. There was 4 in my town this last month and I had no idea until i looked it up. so that might be the option.

    December sleevers!

    megannadine replied to babigrl111's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I'm sleeved and done!! I feel the same way as Deigh. the first 2 days were the worst I'm not going to lie.. I really wasn't prepared for it. but everyday has got better. I too didn't sleep in the bed either just the recliner. I woke up just now with a horrible bout of diarrhea and a gurgly tummy, almost the same feeling as the flu. Is this normal does anyone know? not tooo nauseous but do have the feeling of food in the back of my throat even though I have yet to eat much. Ill probably call the MD tomorrow.
  16. megannadine

    Aaa feeling better!!!!!

  17. megannadine

    Things got worse and then better again... It's mainly the nausea... I don't even feel the 5 incisions, I don't even know were they are .. Lol they want be try sipping something but I have no desire to at all.. Bad yet good..:-)

  19. megannadine

    and I am OFF...... Love you ALL!!!!

  20. megannadine
    so my Short term went through fine. I actually have been off for all of my PRE OP diet. and will probably take 4 weeks off to fully recover. I work for Medtronic and my short term is through Hartford. Although I do work with people who have diabetes and are on the insulin pump so I have to be focused and not dizzy or weak, or out of it. but in any case I would ask about short term
  21. megannadine
