Starving, has anyone had this problem
2boysmom replied to emeraldrose's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Emeraldrose, I went through the same exact thing with hunger pains! I thought something was wrong with me! It took a couple of weeks to pass... I was on an acid reducer also.... It will go away! Good luck! -

Jojo, how did the pre op meeting go?? -
I am 6 weeks out, and trying to stay low carb... How many grams should I be aiming for? I still want to get my "healthy" carbs in my diet.... On MFP, for an 800 calorie diet, it is programmed at 70gr.... Thx!

I'm only 6 weeks out. I do not get the hunger as often as I did before....I do eat every 2-3 hrs...

Anyone else need medication for nerve pain?
2boysmom replied to JennyBeth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had this, too. Bending, sneezing or coughing was a death sentence! The only thing that helped w/the pain & burning was REST.... Take your walks, but no housework.... It got better 3-4 wks after surgery..... Hang in there! -
what is your favorite snack post op
2boysmom replied to newgrandmother's topic in Food and Nutrition
I heard about Questbars from someone... I purchased the chocolate chip cookie dough one from GNC today. It is the PERFECT snack! It does not taste like a protein bar! The whole bar has 21g protein, 17g fiber, and 1g sugar....chunks of chocolate...Yummy! -

That was the most painful part of my surgery.... I couldn't bend or sneeze! I finally started feeling better w/the pain @ 3 weeks. Feel better & REST!

Questioning my restriction
2boysmom replied to dixiejuju's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I felt the same way... I would eat until I was satisfied, but not full. The other night I ate too much & too fast.... So nauseous! It was not good. I will never do that again! Now I know my sleeve is working;) -

You have to stay at Barix two nights... They are very thorough. I was a huge carb/sugar/soda person.... I kicked all the bad habits before my pre-op diet (never ever thought I could). You get used to the pre-op diet....I'm finally switching to puréed diet tomorrow! I lost 13lbs pre-op & 15lbs post op;) -

Pre-op testing involved EKG, blood work, Ultrasound of gall bladder, chest X-ray, meet w/Dr Koganski or Dr Proudan (medical docs), meet w/respiratory to go over your incentive spirometer, & meet w/NUT. I think it took about 2.5 hrs.... I went back to work one week later. I had to because I actually found a nursing position the day before my surgery & needed to give my employer my resignation.... If you can take off longer, do it!!!!!! -

I was sleeved by Dr Marymor on 3/6! I loved him and his whole staff... Very thorough and professional. After surgery, those nurses will get you up and walking right away! I'm so happy I went to him! Let me know if you have any questions!
