Getting Drainage Tube Removed
SoonToBeThinKAT replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As long as it doesn't hurt I should be ok! I just don't like pain lol -
So I am 4 days post op(surgery date on wed 9/19) and feeling better. I still can't sleep in the bed so stuck to the couch. Still having issues wih fluids and food feeling "stuck" when trying to go down but not as bad. Just waiting to get this drain out bc I think that will help some. Hopefully I can sleep in the bed tonight:)

4 Days Post Op
SoonToBeThinKAT replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Positive. Looking at my discharge info right now. It says Pureed consistency for 4 weeks with high proteins and no added sugar and avoid snacking between meals. -
4 Days Post Op
SoonToBeThinKAT replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah. Day of surgery I was only able to have swabs, day after surgery I was able to have only liquids, and 2 days after I was able to have full liquids and creamed soups. -
4 Days Post Op

I'm on puréed foods. I will be on puréed foods for 4 weeks. But can't tolerate a lot of it so mostly on liquids -
Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call
SoonToBeThinKAT replied to newgrandmother's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Just had surgery yesterday and having a hard time keeping fluids down. It almost feels like the fluid is getting stuck and then once it finally goes into the sleeve I feel nauseous. Anyone else felt this way if so how long did it last? -
Don't Waste Your Money- Shop After Pre & Post Diets Given By Md
SoonToBeThinKAT replied to IsaacsGram's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's definitely true that tastes change. I am a southern girl and if I ever had tea it had to be sweet but the unsweetened tea is the best tasting thing I have post op -
I had no idea I would be in so much pain while in recovery. I also thought they had the pain meds started before I got to recovery. I have had other surgeries in the past and did not experience anything like before. Good thing is the pain is WAY down but that is bc my pain meds were increased. Hopefully I am not having issues tomorrow

Omg The Pain!
SoonToBeThinKAT replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So an update... A lot of discomfort. They started me on clear liquids and they DO NOT feel good going down. But I guess I kinda expected that. Hopefully things get better as the day goes on. -
Ok so nothing to eat or drink after midnight. My last supper is not what I would have thought a last supper should be but this is what I wanted....tilapia filets with near east almond rice and yellow squash. Now dessert is something different...a sundae. I know I know I probably shouldn't do a last supper but the I just had to have a sundae.

Omg The Pain!
SoonToBeThinKAT replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thankyou! The one thing I'm surprised about is that it's not gas pains that I hear everyone talking about. -
Omg The Pain!
SoonToBeThinKAT replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It was supposed to be on Friday but something came up with the surgeon and he asked if I can come in today instead. -

How And When To Tell Someone Your Having Surgery..
SoonToBeThinKAT replied to Queen In Me's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The only person that knows is my husband. My supervisor at work knows I'll be out but he doesn't know for what. I work for a large corporation and eveything is done thru HR and MetLife for std and he doesn't get details. Aside from everyone on here no one else knows. Unfortunately I am surrounded by a LOT of judgemental people and I just don't want to hear it. -

SoonToBeThinKAT replied to IrishEyes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Surgery Sept 21St
SoonToBeThinKAT replied to IrishEyes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's funny how I have complained that no one was having surgery on the same day as me and my dr changed my surgery date! I'm now 9/19. -
Surgery Date Changed
SoonToBeThinKAT replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah I can't wait! I'm so excited. It also very nervous and scared! I just can't wait for the new beginning! The only person that knows is my husband (he kinda has to know) and my supervisor at work and he still doesn't know why I will be out he just knows I'll be out. So I had to prepare them! -
Ok so my surgery was scheduled for 09/21 which is this friday. I get a call just a few mins ago and was told that my surgeon will not be able to do it on Friday because something came up and he will not be in town on friday so they asked if I can move my surgery up to 09/19 which is wednesday. Now my anxiety level has gone up a few notches.

SoonToBeThinKAT replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yay jls! I hope there are no issues that will cause it to be pushed back. One more week and we will be sleeved! -
What I was told is the actual nicotine can keep you from healing properly. It's great that you are not actually smoking but the nicotine that is contained in the patch and gum is still nicotine and that is what the doctors don't want in you. I smoked for 15 years until I decided this was the path I wanted to go. I quit cold turkey and know that it's very difficult to go that route. I would let your doctor know so they are aware.
