Post op march sleevers
erica hall replied to gelen's_change's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sleeved on Wednesday, March 13th. 5th day after surgery. Feeling good overall. Gas comes and goes, heartburn starting to subside. Walked slowly on treadmill on Sunday. When I put the treadmill on an incline, feel some relief from gas and heartburn, so I'm going to try that. I'm taking one day at a time. Good luck to all this week sleevers and hope all my March post-op folks are doing OK. We are each other's support system and I thank all of you and this site for being there for me!! This site is my new Facebook!! -
RIP Fred aka Lifesaveremt!! God bless your family through this difficult time!! Your strength and determination to change your life is and will be an inspiration to us all!! Blood clots are very serious!! They gave me meds for blood clotting and put sleeves around my legs to monitor blood clotting !! May God protect all of us!! Good luck to all sleevers this week and all March post op sleevers!!!

Surgery and CPAP machine
erica hall replied to Crkrjax76's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

I am on Day 9 of Pre Op diet, I still get hungry and it is still hard. I think it is both physical and mental. The not chewing part is weird to me. I guess because I am so used to chewing it feels weird not to chew. I feel different. I think your body goes into some sort of weird place after 9 days of no real food:). My job is ordering BBQ take out today since it's payday. I'm usually the first one to place an order and when I declined, people asked was I OK? LOL. Little do they know...

Went to Pre-op appt yesterday lost 7 lbs in a week. March 13 can't come soon enough. I also get gas easier now. I have heard ppl are very gasey after being sleeved. Do you think the pre-op diet has anything to do with the gas? Good luck to everyone being sleeved today and speedy recovery to all March sleevers!! -

U look great!! I'm so happy for u!! Congrats on your progress and thanks for being an inspiration -
My pre op diet includes 1/2 cup oatmeal, farina, or grits for breakfast with shake. i can also have unsweetened applesauce sugar free jello and sugar free pudding low fat low sugar yogurt. Not all hospitals and surgeons follow the same exact diet.

I am on Day 8 and I got dizzy today and yesterday. Immediately drank protein shake slim fast and ate applesauce and yogurt.

March Sleevers Where are You
erica hall replied to GrannyGoes4it's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck to everyone. My surgery date March 13th. The hunger is real. This is Day 6 of pre op diet. I was a little dizzy and weak after waking up this morning. Immediately had applesauce, a yogurt and slim fast shake. It made me feel a little better. It feels weird to not eat real food. -

Five weeks out and frustrated
erica hall replied to Jason Houston's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Jason: First of all, congrats on your progress so far. Stay focused and stay consistent. Maybe you should consult a nutritionist/dietitican. Are there any nutritionist/dietitican that are a part of the team where you had your surgery? I would check with them for guidance and assistance. Also, do some research online as well regarding the diet. Good Luck, stay strong, Erica -
