Things I LOVE about my sleeve!
Mastiff_mama replied to suepeeps's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't have fibro, but ankylosing spondylitis....was worried about a flare and had just the opposite! In leas than 2 weeks my psoriasis has cleared and I've been on humira for a year! My neck and back have hardly hurt! I've been mostly pain free for almost 2 weeks! The surgery pain is Sooooo minimal too! I am 10 days out and feel completely normal! Like I've not had surgery!!!!! Amazing! -

Problem sleeping
Mastiff_mama replied to Susie1226's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's not unusual ...I've had several surgeries and never sleep well after. .nothing to do with position. This surgery was virtually painless and I didn't sleep well ay first either. I raised the head if my bed and sat there to watch the news. I woke up @ 10am!!! I've not slept 11 hours in decades! I was in that perfect zero gravity position and just slept!!! Felt good!!! -
Don't let it get too bad! I didn't go for about 5 days and had a morning in the bathroom....well, I went, it wasn't pretty! Taking MOM everyother day if I don't go...seems Protein Shakes are rather binding! LOL

I agree .. I live alone and days after surgery I probably asked 100 questions....it helped so much in not feeling alone! -

Mastiff_mama replied to starfish108's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Probably isn't water weight IF she did a pre-op diet. I think the question should be answered...."depends" of you've got a high bmi like over 50 it is sort of slow. If your bmi is in the 35 range then it's not slow ...IMHO -
I don't recommend this but it works for me...

Day 2, feel fine but worried about restriction
Mastiff_mama replied to buffythefatslayer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am day 7....I made some runny mashed potatoes made with my delish chicken broth mom and I made. I finally didn't feel weak and starving! My surgeon will only approve Jello and broth besides the Protein and Water of course. I was just losing it! Too long including pre-op! -
Low BMI of 38 would you do the surgery or have you done the sleeve?

Day 2, feel fine but worried about restriction
Mastiff_mama replied to buffythefatslayer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Gives us your ideas? I am struggling! -
I had my surgery 6 days ago and I get weaker every day. I had no clue my stomach would feel like this. I never an free from feeling my sleeve and it feels like I am starving! I worry that I am day 6 and showering exhausted me!
-
I can add this to my sleeve but can't have jello, runny cream of wheat, etc...??? I am 3 days out and feeling hungry and already tired of sweet crap! Can't add attachment...it's a handful of whole pills!

Mastiff_mama replied to buffythefatslayer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No necessarily....I am to take June normally and can't have apple sauce.....too much sugar -
I've never had a c-section but this surgery is miserable the first 12-20 hours then whamo!!! It's like you cross a threshold and you are exponentially better! All surgeries are miserable the first day with pain and anesthesia, but I am 4 days out and would do it again ....
