A few hours until I become sleeved
raalex1 replied to LifetimeLoser's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations! Sorry, I'm no help with the pain either; I never had any pain. The first week was the hardest for me; so hang tough. You will do great! -
I was sleeved on 01-14-13 and have not had any problems whatsoever until this past Wednesday night. I have eaten everything exactly like they told me to eat. I had my soup for dinner and about 1 1/2 hours later I had the terrible dry heaves. Last night no problem until 1:30 a.m. (7 hours after dinner) and I threw up nothing but yellow liquid. Anybody having these problems? Somebody said it could be gallbladder. Any ideas? Thanks

21 pounds pre-op diet and 12 pounds 3 weeks out. -
You are not going to die. You will be just fine. I was sleeved in Mexico on the 14th of Jan. and flew home on Thursday and had no problems and I don't like to fly period. You will feel soooo much better once you get your drain out. You will be fine. Don't worry.

I am new to this forum as well. I was sleeved by Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana on 1-14-12. I have lost 30 pounds; 21 of that pre-op. Dr. Ortiz has you on nothing but liquids for 21 days. I am so hungry, bored with the few soups out there that you can "drink". I'm even tired of my protein drinks. Any ideas to get through this post-op nightmare is greatly appreciated. God Bless.

Katie75009; I was sleeved by Dr. Ortiz 2 1/2 weeks ago and have had no problems, no pain medication needed. I hope you have Patti for your nurse; she's a jewel. LOVED Dr. Martinez as well. Good luck. -
That is a good list. I'm in my 3rd week of liquids and can hardly wait until next week when I can have soft foods. Just craving cottage cheese. Laura-ven, thanks for sharing.

Good luck tomorrow. You will be fine. I didn't even need pain medication; it is so easy breezy. Congratulations on your decision. -
Congratulations! I hope I can say 51 pounds in another 6 weeks, which will be my 2 mo. anniversary. I'm starving to death.

Congratulations! You should be so very proud. Every time I get around 200 pounds I start sabotaging myself. I sure hope I don't do that this time. I'm in my 3rd week out and would LOVE some cottage cheese. Keep up the good work. -
Is your stomach growling with hunger or do you just "think" you are hungry?
