2 weeks post op and I want my stomach back!
Iweeny replied to Butterflyjdjl's topic in Rants & Raves
I am 4weeks post op ...and I felt like you. Sometimes I have flashbacks and feel upset because I can not eat a full meal with my family. But lately I've been feeling better because the scale does go down, I lose weight slow but .. So far I've lost 24 pounds and I am not taking my diabetes meds. (Got off my meds last week) You have to stay positive and think positive and set small goals. -
Yes i get anxiety too. I have a business lunch almost everyday with people I don't know well. I don't want to to tell them about my sleeve. If they ask...(sometimes they dont care and dont ask ) What I do is tell them I had a big breakfast and I am still full. I always get salmon or soup.

I have trouble drink enough water now after my sleeve. Before my sleeve I could gulp a ton of water at a time. I am only 3weeks post op, but I would like to know how much water can I drink at a time? Can I drink 8oz in 3mins? What is the most amount I can drink in a short period of time

How much pain after? Help.
Iweeny replied to staffieri's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same problem. Take your pain meds. It will help you move around comfortable and get your bowels moving. You just had major surgery. -

A bougie is an instrument the doctor uses to measure and cut your stomach. It's kinda like a cookie cutter for the stomach.

Iweeny replied to rxkid2384's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Rxkid2384 I was told by my doc to eat anything I want. In small portions after two weeks. But like you I felt great at day 10 so I tryed different little solids foods and felt fine. I asked my doc about leaks but he said the titanium cord and staples are very strong. And I will be fine. I asked about Beans he said beans should be week 3 -
