My dr said full liquids for 6 wks postop to make sure my pouch is fully healed. It is very hard, if you count the 2 wk preop liquid diet that is 2 months on liquids. I am down 34 pounds since my surgery april 29th -

Speaking of the drain pouch, how do they remove it. Do they just pull it out and what about the hole left afterwards? I cant wait for it to be removed. -
Help! I need some reassurance
Paula/KS replied to antitoni's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you take pepcid everyday. I have a prescription my doc gave me to take 2 times a day. Maybe that would help your chest pain/indegestion -
I am 4 days post op and bought the sampler pkg from bjs bariatrics. I mixed the carribean cooler with water as it said to do and it was disgusting. Does anyone know anything good to try?
-
Postop day 4, doing pretty good for the most part. I tried to drink an optifast protein shake and it gave me horrible diarrhea. Cant wait to get this drain tube out as well.

Help! Struggling to be ready for pre-op diet
Paula/KS replied to mamamareli's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you, I feel like I have been so emotional like someone has died. I havent told my parents yet because they will probably not agree with my choice only my husband and kids know. Maybe I will feel better getting it off my chest cuz I know I wouldnt feel right going thru this type of surgery and them not knowing. -
Good luck to you as well.
-
Wynk11 I will be sleeved the 29th as well. Surgery at 7:30 am and I have to be there at 5:30. Torture

I was just at walmart and didnt see gas x strips, do they desolve? Probably cant do chewables
-
I am glad you are doing well. My turn is in 2 days. Any advice on what I should bring to the hospital.

I can relate. I am day 4 of my pre-op diet and feel exhausted. My surgery is april 29 and have been a little emotional. I just think how much better I am going to feel and what a better quality of life I will have. -
