Gas, Gas, Gas!
JerseyGirl68 replied to elektrik_rose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on Tuesday and the gas was the only thing bothering me. It turned a corner today. Much , Much better. I had been sleeping in my recliner until last night. Slept very comfortably in bed and don't know if being on my back was what finally did it. Are you taking any Prilosec or Zantac? My doctor prescribed it for a month after surgery. I purchased the generic and have been crushing it and having with some sugar free pudding. -
This morning I tried my chocolate shake mix with warm milk, like hot cocoa, and it went down real easy. Mixed it up for me. Good luck!!

Sticks of butter..
JerseyGirl68 replied to Lhollingsworth's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It really does put it in perspective when you can look at the actual weight of something. My moment was, if you can believe it, a 45lb. bag of kitty litter. I could barely lift it to get it in the house. I'm down almost 70lbs. since my first doctor's visit and can hardly believe I was toting that plus around. No wonder I would get tired by week's end. Best of luck!! -
After not getting sleeved on November 6 due to a spike in my heart rate in the middle of my gallbladder/sleeve surgery, I was finally sleeved yesterday and feeling fine. Surgery was picture perfect, I was up walking around a few hours later and broke up the one gas bubble I had. Woke this morning and had my swallow test, no leaks and everything was perfect. Got started on my 1oz at a time Water sips and found if I could tolerate 8oz. In 4 hours I could go home.... So here I sit, warm and comfy at home. Just sipped 4oz of unjury chicken Soup over the course of an hour and still doing really well. After my bumpy start, I had a text book finish. WHEW!!!! Pain is minimal, I only really feel it in my largest incision, of about an inch and a half and usually only when I cough. I was at The Valley Hospital in NJ, their Bariatric surgery floor are all private rooms, and the staff was amazing. Such a positive experience overall. Biggest kudos to my surgeon, Dr. Beth Schrope, I was in amazing hands and am so happy for the decisions I made in this process Losers bench, here I come!!!!

Hello fellow 12-11 sleeves, glad we all made it. I came home next day and am doing well. Thanks to this forum, I was well prepared. Continued success to us all!!! -
So excited. After getting so close on November 6 and only getting my gall bladder removed instead of GB removal and sleeve, I went for my follow up today and set a new date of December 11. I was never so happy to start a diet (Pre op)!! Continued success to you all and have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Jello makes a sugar free double chocolate pudding that hits the spot for me. I believe it is 60 calories. -

What an amazing start for you! Stay the course, it will go quickly and try your best to prepare for situations where you'll be tempted. They will be hard to avoid during the holidays but do your best. You have great motivators in your wife and little girl. Good luck!! -
Today Is My Day! Ready...
JerseyGirl68 replied to simplejaxgirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Best of luck to you!!! -
The idea of mine was way worse than the procedure. Ask any questions you may have and try not to stress too much. I had mine in the hospital, and the scariest thing was getting wheeled in, after that I only remember waking up feeling good. Good luck!

Decided To Stay Off The Scale
JerseyGirl68 replied to twinsmama05's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What an amazing feeling! Congrats! -
What kind of shakes are you having? and what does your pre-op consist of? I'm in week two of my pre-op and doing ok. Give your NUT a call, tell her you are having problems and see if they can offer alternatives. You can do this! Stay strong. Good luck!
