How often do you weigh yourself? and not going crazy
1stBabeBorn5th replied to Greeky83's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Lol but why? You won't drastically lose lbs by peeing or pooping. If anything you are setting yourself up for disappointment for the next time you eat or drink and see a gain. At minimum, weigh once a week. PS...mascara weighs a ton so....just kidding -

You're good! I'd be happy if I got in about 25g Og protein. Sigh -

21 days out incision issue - Advice needed!
1stBabeBorn5th replied to devichan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do have thread sticking it off two of my incisions. I thought that was the weirdest thing. I'm afraid to pull them -
When did you start eating soft solid food?
1stBabeBorn5th replied to miangr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had cream of wheat in the hospital so I came home eating oft foods like that. Some things didn't go over well but it was a learning process. 2 weeks it is when I got the official word that I can have the pureed foods -

Yes. I had some Fro Yo that seemed like the Devil made himself. It was delish though. Lol -
Honestly, who has had zero problems
1stBabeBorn5th replied to sparker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
3 weeks out and zero problems. No vomiting, no pain pills after release from hospital (maybe 2), very little nausea and a 30+ pound weight loss. I'm happy! -

GIVING a massage one week post-op?
1stBabeBorn5th replied to 1stBabeBorn5th's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Welp...today was the event and I felt well enough to do it. I did sit down for most of the massages (chair massages only) and only about 5 standing up. I think I did 12 massages total and felt completely fine. -

I have about 7 "call the authorities because this woman is clearly in a domestic situation" bruises on the backs of both my arms. That's where they injected the blood thinner every 8 hours for the 3 days I was there. You forget they are there until someone's sweet granny walks up and says "be strong, you can leave" and walks away.

June surgery dates
1stBabeBorn5th replied to DenaLJ1354's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on 6/7. I packed my robe and comfy pj bottoms...never touched them. I couldn't put my arm in my robe with my iv anyway. Backwards robe it is! Plus, I didn't want to have any blood stains on my robe so it was easier. I never put anything on my lower half. I had a catheter for a day and a half so no need. I kept my phone, which my daughter said I would give a mean "heroine nod" after pushing my pain pump. She said I'd be mid- text and my hand would slowly drift down into my lap and my head into my chest. Lol...no need for gadgets. All I needed and USED was my toothbrush, toothpaste (and you didn't need that!), my contacts, glasses, phone and charger and one pair of undies for the ride home. THAT WAS IT. They have towels and washcloths, shower gel, baby oil, body lotion and mouthwash along with the toothbrush and paste. There was enough on the tv to keep me entertained between nods so, that was it. -

I am 5 days post op. Getting over the minor pain of swallowing too much it too fast is my biggest issue. Tonight, I had cream of wheat. I had yogurt earlier along with a small Soup and Apple juice. Getting out of the bed is a little interesting. I say have someone videotape you for future laughs. -

I'm trying to return on the 19th. I'm washing clothes and just looking lost. Lol -
Is anyone else during on the side of the bed wondering "where do I start? What the hell am I doing?" What are you taking? Are you nervous?
