Pain After Drain Removal?
ljperez replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The drain bothered me the most. When they took it out it hurt because the gas moved. I got mine taken out before I left the hospital. I still have pain in the incision if I over do it. I'll be 3 weeks tomorrow. -
That's great.

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

Surgery Is Tomorrow Morning At 10 Am!
ljperez replied to Jessica89's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good luck to all of you. -
Omg what a mistake. This is how this sleeve is helping but now I'm Freaking out. I got into a huge fight with my mom detail don't matter but I went back to my safe stop. I thought what can I have at mcdonalds that will make me feel better. I got a Michael frape. I said if I put Protein in in ill be,fine. Oh no. I feel sick my nose is running and I'm sweating. How stupid to let myself go back I've been so good for so ling even before surgery. I just tried to stay away from any problems. Now I see I can't do that. Anyway I was sleeved on 9/5 am I ok? I'm embarrassed to call the doctor.

Not everyone has complications. I was nervous too. I felt the same way that its elective and I might be setting myself up for a life of doctors visits and buyers remorse. I have 3 children what if I die. I didn't and I'm fine never felt sick. Just listen to the doctors and your body, take it slow. I'm 2.5 weeks out and 20 lb down. I physically feel like I never had anything done. Except when I eat its a little uncomfortable but I just had major surgery what did I expect. Just drink as much as you can and take it slow. Remember you probably have tried everything and this will work. Good luck.

17 Days Post Op How Much Did Everyone Eat
ljperez posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was cleared to eat soft foods all protein. As light as I can on carbs and no sugar. I was excited but now not so much. I ate canned chicken and a scramble egg today but its hard it takes forever and my stomach makes so much noise. It feels like its stuck sometimes. I'm not gassy just a little uncomfortable for like a half hour. Does anyone have any suggestions or food they are eating that goes down easier? -

Did You Dye Your Hair The First Year After Surgery?
ljperez replied to fattymcfatterson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just got a full foil on Tuesday. Sleeved 9/5. I hope its ok. I just thought I wanted it to look good for a little while before it starts falling out. -
Thanks. I think I've been pretty good about weighing myself. I've only done it a couple of times since I've been home from the hospital. I was very happy when I got on their scale. It was like xmas. I want to keep that feeling so I'm going to try and hold off.

My Fellow 9/4 (Or Last Week) Sleevers - How Are You Doing ?
ljperez replied to Odee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sleeved 9/5 down 15 since then. I can drink fine. I am hungry I can't tell if its head hunger or what I really miss food. I have my post op appt. Thursday I hope he moves me to stuff like tuna and canned chicken. No pain at all. I really don't feel like I even had surgery. The biggest problem I have is I'm allergic to the gall bladder medicine and have this incredibly itchy rash on my arms and legs. Also I can't sleep. Anyone else have that? -
Trader joes soups are the best. I love the creamy tomato.

I've been reading the posts about walking. I am 10days put from surgery. I wanted to go to my local park in the morning. It's 2.5 miles. Before surgery I walked it almost every day 2xs so 5 miles total. Do you think it would be ok to walk it just once? I feel really good. I don't want to push it.
-
I've been walking every day just not that far. I don't want to push it. I'm so scared of a leak. Ive been reading that people get even though everything was fine. I feel really good, except not being able to sleep.
-
I was positive too. I was given 14 days of antibiotics and They did the surgery. I have my first follow up next week I hope all is well. I'll find out and post.

Are the slimes with solid food? I'm still on liquids have not got that yet. I did have something like dumping today.

Help I Think I'm Dumping
ljperez replied to ljperez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks it passed. I made myself walk even though I thought I was going to throw up. I haven't thrown up at all since the sleeve. I won't do that again. Lesson learned the hard way. -
