Anyone else scheduled or possibly have surgery in November?
-
Yep I got mine a week after surgery as well after not having one in a year, and now today woke up to second cycle 28 days later, this morning. I didn't mark the calendar so the cramps two days before I thought was constipation guess it was my cycle. Have to say the cramps are horrible.

I'm in the same boat except mine has been since after sugery on 11/18. By week 3 I was admitted and now have a PICC line and on TPN. Went to follow up today I will remain on TPN another 3 weeks. Seem my sleeve did not heal correctly that i have a bend causing all my nausea and vomiting, dr says it will get better with time. If not a possible bypass is possible. I do have regret because I miss my life. Being stuck at home and having homecare not my idea of perfect living right now.

Are You Happy That You Had The Sleeve Procedure?
Gelica replied to love to be at goal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So last week I was admitted to the hospital for my nausea and constant vomiting. My blood pressure was so low from dehydration and even the medications in the hospital weren't keeping me from vomiting. I am back home now after having a PICC line inserted at the hospital and receiving TPN at night. I hope it's not for long that I am on this. I do still regret this, my husband has to help me shower, set up my TPN every night and remove it. I should have tried harder on losing weight on my own. I am still on my 20s and should not be requiring home care. -

I try but all I do is get nauseous and end up vomiting I am on a 3rd medication for nausea and seems not to help either. I'm tired of trying to keep from being nauseous. I want to believe it will get better. But when I can't sit up long enough to drink water before feeling this way makes me just want to sleep all day so I don't throw up. -

Everyone tells me it will get better but I do regret it. I would rather be at the weight I was then to feel the way I do. Alway dehydrated and hungry vomit bile. I am 3 weeks post op, my husband has become so worried cause I'm not eating enough even the dr wants me to take in morr calories. The last 3 days I have not wanted to get out of bed. In 3 weeks I have gone from 214 to 182. I would rather be 214 and be myself. -

My problem isnt how much weight I've lost its feeling like crap and dehydrated. Also I am getting tired of liquids still another 2 weeks before pureed. -
I been so sick and nauseous today. Started wondering I am 10 days post op and have gone from 214 to 193 in 10days is that normal. I thought it would be less then that since I wasn't much heavier person when I started. Goal weight is only 150. I still regret doing this I can just down a bottle water anymore and wonder will I have to be sipping for life. My dog eats and drinks more then I do right now.

Gelica replied to soonerorlater's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on the 18th and so far nothing but hard time. I can't get any liquids down. Called doctor yesterday cause I was starting to get nauseous and feeling faint. He prescribed me something for nausea but all it did was knock me out the entire afternoon. I cried yesterday telling my husband I don't want to live anymore I regret doing this to myself. I miss being able to chug water down. Seems everyone is recovering great why am I having such a hard time. -
I am 8 days post op. This morning I had my first BM and I noticed it was bile. I know it is cause since I had my gallbladder taken out 5 years ago it would happen with fried foods. I am still on clear liquids. This afternoon I went to store with my husband but as soon as we got there I became very sick with chills and nausea. Once we got home is when I rushed in the bath and vomited bile. I am still having chills I jumped in hot shower immediately to see if I can warm up. I'm trying to take in water now and its hard for me to even get about more than an 1oz. Please help? I been in tears cause how weak feel and how I might have ruined my life with this surgery.

Bile Vomit And In Bowel Movement
Gelica replied to Gelica's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone I did try calling the dr office but no answer today. I found an easy way for me to get Water in (ice chips). It helps me from drinking water too fast and hurting. I think I was approaching serve dehydration. Today was also the day I was able to move into full liquids, I decided to wait and work on H2o today. My husband has grounded me from going anywhere and still not permitted to drive until I have enough strength. -
I am one week post op and today is my birthday, best birthday gift I am at 199.1 , I should be so happy but I don't get to celebrate with friends or family. No dinner, no cake
-
I guess write now I being on clear liquids makes me feel like ehh. We always gone to my favorite place for dinner and drinks, but since I am still so tired and weak. I am not going anywhere. Husband even won't let me go anywhere alone cause he has had to catch me from falling cause my body got so weak.

Had my surgery the 18th ended up an extra day in hospital cause I couldn't pee on my own and the the extra day I developed a fever. At this point I regret doing this to myself. I got discharged Wednesday evening feels good to be in my own home. I can't take any water down put 3 sips. 8 start to feel nauseous when I try broth. Is this normal post op?

Warning:tmi .... Poop. Lmao.
Gelica replied to meaganchuckran's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was wondering about that today . I had surgery on Monday and thought okay I'm peeing but what about number 2. Did your first occurrence happen abruptly? Also I'm on liquids til week 5 will that make a difference? -
I usually had one every time during the cold weather, I want some now.
-
Not til December 4th. Its cold and the one thing I want is hot chocolate. I use water when I make it, is that considered clear or full liquid.

Only hurts when I cough and when I bend my fatty tummy to get up. Guess my roll fold is there.
