I hate this surgery.
ruaamy replied to alley-gator's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 12/27 and I think about food all the darn time. I think it's normal for the first month -
T'was the night before surgery, and I got my period
ruaamy replied to 2013isit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started on the morning of surgery. Luckily my surgeon doesn't use catheters. But they would not let me use a tampon. They put a chucks under me and a huge pad. I got to put a tampon in as soon as I got to my hospital room. I was mortified -
Seriously struggling with getting my protein
ruaamy replied to jcsleeved2013's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I personally have to drink two premier protein shakes a day and then that leaves me no room for any food, because I have to drink my water the rest of the day. I have bought unjury unflavored and chicken soup protein, and unflavored soy protein from Kroger, but the texture of it in yogurt or jello just makes it inedable. I cannot stomach bariatric advantage. I was sleeved on the dec 27th also and my dr said to do whatever I had to do to get my protein -
Ugh throwing up constantly sick
ruaamy replied to peace73's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hang in there. It's very emotional to go through the physical changes, but remember that your stomach produces a harmony, so it's normal to feel a little psychotic lol -

I have lost 31 lbs and haven't changed sizes. It may be due to swelling since I am only 8 days post op

Heading to full liquids
ruaamy replied to ortega07's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started yesterday. I ate 2 tsp of Greek yogurt and 1tsp of SF pudding and did fine. So today I ate 2 oz of cream of broccoli soup but it took me 45 minutes and my stomach made every noise possible. I am only one week post op -

I have had little trouble with liquids. Yesterday I had a whole premier shake with 30 grams of protein and had no trouble holding it down. Today is the first time I really wanted food and I ate two tsp of Greek yogurt. Has anyone else fudged and ate a full liquid yet? -
