My teeth are now turning yellow. What the hay?
mirabelle replied to gamergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't noticed yellowing, but my teeth are definitely wearing sweaters now. Sorry gamergirl, I can't explain it but you are not alone. -

I didn't have to. Just one day before surgery, clear liquids. -

Awesome, thanks! -
I had to have one put in because I couldn't ah...empty the tank on my own. I was awake when they put it in, emptied, and took it out. It was no big deal at all. Slight discomfort but no pain.

I've lost a 2-year old, my husband lost a mid size microwave. You?

Lol... A 19 inch flat screen tv and a shoe! -
This happened to me too! It was thrush, I was lucky enough that I didn't get blisters so mine resolved within a week on its own. I was told if you have blisters it would need treatment.

I've seen the flatout breads in my local grocery store and at Walmart near the deli counter. Directly in front of the meat and cheese case. I used to enjoy these preop, I can't wait until I can add them back in.

Weight gain in the hospital?
mirabelle replied to aTXtumbleweed's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I brought home 13 pounds more than I went in with. No worries though, it was gone within a few days. Congrats on your surgery. -

july 2013 sleevers
mirabelle replied to sureaboutme2's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I realize that all doctors are different and their standard of practice varies. But I was sleeved on July 29th and I'm already on soft solids. I skipped phase 3. I'm afraid I'm moving too quickly. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to be eating real food. I'm just concerned that my course of post op treatment is so different from all the posts I read. -

Agreed. They are yummy! -

mirabelle replied to Dawnyellow's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes I skipped phase three. Not sure why but following the docs orders. It's been two days on solids and I haven't had any issues. It is harder to stay hydrated since I'm no longer getting extra liquids from food and having to wait before and after meals to drink. -

July 30th is the day! Who is with me?
mirabelle replied to Dawnyellow's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm finally on the upswing. I ended up back in the hospital for internal bleeding. I had a hematoma that was infected. Yuck! But after three more days in the hospital and great care I'm feeling much better. I'm struggling to get my water and Protein too but my doc just moved me to phase 4 foods so I can eat solids now. I'm thinking that will help. Glad everything went smooth for you -
Newbie insomnia?
mirabelle replied to Ahealthyme2013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 10 days post op and barely slept for the first week. The last two nights I slept better than ever. I think, for me, once I could lay flat in bed and the incisions stopped being so sore was the turning point. -
