Dehydration and when to go to the hospital
sleever10 replied to SeriouslyChange's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No amount of money is worth losing your health over. Dehydration is serious business. -

Preparing for possible "yucky stuff" after surgery

WordReference is a great app/website for this. -
So many questions about Mexico
sleever10 replied to Amberlydw8's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I used Dr. Aceves and paid $8,500 that covered everything but airfare. This included a ride to/from the San Diego airport, pre-op testing, one night in a hotel prior to surgery and I stayed 3 nights in a hospital - not a clinic. The experience was phenomenal. -

I do enjoy popcorn as an occasional snack (Erin's, SmartFood, Trader Joe's olive oil & sea salt, etc.) but absolutely have to weigh out my portion before eating it - either 1/2 oz or 1 oz.

Going to the mall on liquids?
sleever10 replied to halfofheather's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Depending on how long you will be out you may need a bottle of water (or two) also. Have fun! -
Gerd advice... Please!

Maybe your Nexium isn't enough? My surgeon has me on a Prilosec in the morning, Zantac in the afternoon, and another Prilosec in the evening. Definitely stay away from tomatoes and spicy foods. I'd check in with the doc about increasing/adding acid meds. Hope you feel better soon! -

Nice! Whole Foods is 90 minutes from me, but TJ is 10. -
I went to the buffet at Whole Foods today and they charge by the pound. I grabbed some diced chicken breast that was meant to be a salad topping, a bit of cottage cheese and a tiny bit of quinoa. My lunch was $1.60! Makes more sense than going to a restaurant!

How much sodium is in the TJ kind? I got some jerky at Whole Foods today and it only has 270g, the lowest I have seen. A word to the wise that is worth repeating! Read the labels! I grabbed one that had 18g of Protein and later read that it had something like hydrolyzed soy protein... or something like that. -
Question - Clear Liquids 3 Weeks Post-Op

Isopure has 40g of protein in a 20 oz bottle. It doesn't taste great but it gets the job done! -
spitting stitches
sleever10 replied to charissa70737's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Now this is happening to me. Surgeon said to snip them. I thought they were falling back inside because they got shorter but now they are back. If they are out of my body they won't dissolve. How will they go away? They poke out of a scar. -
Nope! Only to airports!

Constipation HELL....P!

Do you gel them first? How much do you add in to your shakes? -

Propel Zero is the only thing I can get down. -

I hear Trader Joe's has some good frozen turkey meatballs.

I second the Centrum Chewables - they taste good!

Well, I am pretty sure I used to put at least 5 servings on a sandwich! I actually can't eat spicy just yet - too many acid problems. ETA: Didn't mean to poop on the party! Carry on with your Sriracha-lovin' selves!

Makes me sick to think how much Chinese food I could put away pre-op. Ugh.
