    I like that. Very smart thinking. I'm not spending a lot on shake or protein stuff either because I know its all gagging me right now even if it tastes good. Keep up the good work!

    Last night was a BAD night :-(

    Nursebarbie replied to snsgreeneyedgirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    This happens to me almost every night. Compression of the vagal nerve which runs through the heart and through the stomach. Put your feet up when it happens.

    This is true for me so I was waiting too long between eating and it was causing nausea when my stomach filled up with air. So I eat a bite or two every hour or two.

    11 days post op

    Nursebarbie replied to shannyd4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    The surgeon said there is a big internal stitch there on the lwft side. I have it too so I asked. He has me taking aleve liquid gel open it on squeeze it into tiny bit of water twice a day. Helps a lot.

    Hurting

    Nursebarbie replied to rhonda2006's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    After wls its true about nsaids pain relievers but initially it helps with the swelling. I was given IV toradol in the hospital for a week.

    I cannot stomach them at all. Basically I tolerate a very bland no taste diet right now. I did find beechnut stage 1 turkey baby food 1 ounce has 6gm protein which was pretty decent. I'm pretty swollen my surgery lasted 4 hours instead of 1 hour as usual.

    Wow demerol? We aren't even stocking that it in our local bospitals anymore because it causes rebound pain and high rates of abuse. Use it sparingly or ask for lortab elixir.

    Nursebarbie replied to rhonda2006's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm taking one aleve liquid gels which I cut open and squirt into water twice a day about 12 hours apart. My surgeon told me to take it routinely for the first 2 or 3 weeks. Reallly helps. Stronger than advil.

    June surgery dates

    Nursebarbie replied to DenaLJ1354's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Me too but my doctor is really calm and said as the internal swelling goes down I will be able to take in more. He said to focus on fluids first.

    Just had my staples removed thank god. It didn't hurt and feels so much better now.

    Nursebarbie replied to Prettyteacher86's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Great! Are you sleeved too?
  18. Nursebarbie
    I'm considering it now that I have confirmation of the internal damage by my new surgeon.

    Uggh. Nausea back tonight.

    Nursebarbie replied to Nursebarbie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Uggh. Nausea is back again. My intake is so poor. Focusing on liquids first. I'm still pretty swollen at least my upper abdomen looks like it.
  20. Nursebarbie
    Me too! Bought something that said 52 grams of protein one ready to drink shake. It was the most barfilicious crap I have ever tasted.
  21. Nursebarbie
    This is the post that won't die. Well it had until the OP had to get another reply in. Must like drama. The last 5 posts prior were about poptarts.

    I'm in the OC. Land of the super skinny stepford wife.

    Its considered normal to have a bowel movement at least once every 3 days. Its a myth you need to go everday.
