Shocked By Sleeve Experience!
TakeCareGirl replied to TamaraS's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's awesome, congrats! We are at very similar starting numbers. I was sleeved on 9/25 and also have had a good experience. Uncomfortable in the hospital and for a day out but pretty good since then. I am off the pain meds and moving about well. As of yesterday I was on full liquids, that cream of broccoli Soup I had yesterday tasted divine - all 3 tablespoons of it! -

1-2 Weeks Post Op... What Are You Eating?
TakeCareGirl replied to AngelBaby's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am on day 6 and was on clear liquids only until this morning. Now I am on full liquids for 2 weeks - today I had protein shakes, some greek yogurt (the second serving I flavored with guacamole seasoning of all things) and cream soups. -
If you like savory, I love either diced avocados or diced tomatoes and a little salt with cottage cheese. Yum!

2 Months Down And 67 Lbs Lost!
TakeCareGirl replied to kaeannpark's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations! -
Hi everyone. I have been fortunate enough to not have nausea or grogginess. I am still very tired. My sister left yesterday but my friends came this afternoon and took out my six year old. She'll be back soon, but it will be bedtime for her. She was with me this morning alone and she was going stir crazy. She's back to school tomorrow and I'll be able to rest after my first post op appointment. Is everyone still on pain meds?

Vsg Post-Op Cure Of Diabetes, High Cholesterol And Hypertension
TakeCareGirl replied to bakawaka's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 4 days post op, having been on a 10 day liquid diet prior to the surgery. My A1C 6 weeks ago was 7.2. My A1C at my pre-op exam 1 week ago came back at 5.6! I could not believe it. Right now they are holding off on my going back on diabetes meds. I am hoping this is the end of it. -
September 25 Sleevers! How You Doing?
TakeCareGirl replied to pretty-pink's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was home yesterday and doing very well. Pain is being managed very well, looking to interchange the pain meds with liquid tylenol tomorrow. No nausea after the first day, and I'm able to move around. My surgeon Dr. Jones and all the staff were awesome. A great first (and hopefully last) hospital visit. I'm still on liquids but not able to get much in - my Water, a little juice and half a SF popsicle today. -
Sleeved 9/24 Going Thru It What Did I Do (Regrets)
TakeCareGirl replied to sexy_sleevegirl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was sleeved on 9/25. I agree with what others have said. You kind of have to mourn your life with food as you know it. It's not that you won't be able to have what you loved, just much less of it. But on day one of my pre op liquid diet, I thought about food ALL day. I was missing the life I had, but also knew it brought me no good. Hang in there, you can do it! -
Surgery And Recovery Alone
TakeCareGirl replied to chad2rad's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry to hear about your separation! I am day 3 post op and have help at home because of my daughter. If she wasn't around, I wouldn't need help. But if it's just you and can ask someone to get you to and from the hospital, especially with you being an RN - you should be okay. I wish you well on your surgery and hopefully the reconciliation of your marriage! -

After Surgery Pain
TakeCareGirl replied to ladyofdamage's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 3 days post op and I would rate my pain as being very controlled by meds right now 2 out of 10. The gas for me is more annoying rather than painful. Last night was my first night home and my stomach sounds kept waking me up! -
Congratulations!!!

Day before surgery. Made it through 9 days liquid diet - only "cheating" by eating a bite of my daughter's apple and taking a swig of pickle juice last night. Coloring the grey out of my hair today, making final preparations for my daughter and my sister who will be coming to help out later this week. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Scared......i Don't Want To Leave My Kids Without A Mom!
TakeCareGirl replied to Amberl77's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Amber it is so very hard and I feel for you. I have surgery tomorrow and that is the thought going through my head. I am a single parent to a six year old daughter - no father as she is adopted. However I went through legalzoom.com to set up a will and guardianship just in case. But again the risks are so small. Hang in there, you're doing the right thing for your kids. -
I Hate My Pre-Op Diet!
TakeCareGirl replied to NDN_RN's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck with it and I feel for you. I am on day nine of ten of my liquid diet. I have done pretty well - not straying except today I took a bite of my daughter's apple as we were at an apple orchard and then I had a swig of pickle juice directly from the pickle jar this evening. -
I am on the 25th in the Twin Cities. I have Unjury, broth, SF popsicles. I am going to Target tomorrow for the Gas X strips and a few other items.
