    I had a 14 day liquid diet and lost only 8 lbs, which I promptly gained back in the hospital. Today is my 4th week and I am down 20 lbs*, so don't worry. *8 of the 20 being what I gained in the hospital. grrr...

    My hubby is disabled and on a feeding tube so he couldn't come. My 20 year old son came with me. He was a great help.

    I have a prescription for omeprazole that comes in a capsule. I just take it whole.

    Liquid diet question

    magtart replied to Themachine28's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I simmered chicken broth out of the carton with dried rosemary and thyme and added a smidge of Better than Bouillon. It is delish!

    My husband wanted my to do one. I printed one out online, filled it out, and brought it with me to the hospital for a nurse to witness and forgot all about it as soon as I got into my gown. Oh well.

    Milk of Magnesia. It is not a milk, it's a medicine.

    Anyone NOT have a NUT?

    magtart replied to Mommysonadiet's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I have one, but I was only required to see her once and that was it. I haven't been in touch with her since then.

    And u took only those for pre-op? No, post-op. My doc said not to take any Vitamins until after the first week post-op.

    I have the Multi-Complete with iron and the Calcium Plus 500.

    I'm using Celebrate Vitamins, but once I finish what I have I'm just going to get some regular vitamins. These are too expensive and you have to take them more than once a day. Ick.

    I'm one month out tomorrow and the weight is not flying off. We all lose differently. Don't worry, it will come.

    Gapapentin and the sleeve

    magtart replied to Busytee's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    I take it twice a day for permanent nerve damage in my legs. I don't seem to be having any issues and have lost 18 lbs. since being sleeved on 12/17.

    First visit back home

    Awesome! Everyone looks so happy.

    I've been getting hungry sooner than I thought I would. I can eat a whole egg for Breakfast and feel hungry an hour later. I ate a slice of cheese and some turkey lunch meat in between breakfast and lunch. After lunch I haven't been hungry again. I guess I just need to get closer to 500 calories than the 3-4 hundred I have been eating.

    I want veggies?

    magtart replied to Halfpint1218's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions

    I will be a month on Tuesday so that is when I get to start mushy foods.

    I want veggies?

    magtart replied to Halfpint1218's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions

    Shhh, don't tell anyone, but I have been eating some canned asparagus tips every once in a while. They are so mushy there is no problem getting them down and even though I prefer fresh they have helped my craving for veggies.

    I am 3 weeks out and having the same issue. Showering and dressing and getting downstairs wipes me out not to mention exercising. For a few days I had a burst of energy in the afternoon and walked for 30 min., got some housework done, stuff like that. These last few days is a whole 'nother story. Sigh...

    I brought the clothes I wore, extra underwear, kindle, phone, chapstick. That's it.

    Sorry if this grosses you out

    magtart replied to krysten.warren's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Yeah, I am not on solids yet so I expect the squirts to happen.

    Bless your heart! I had two weeks and it really wasn't that bad. The crunch bars might help a lot. I found warm herby chicken broth really helped with hunger more than cold Protein drinks. I wasn't allowed any Soup, just broth.

    I'm 3 weeks out and have it every other day or so. Beats constipation!

    wrong date of birth = no surgery?

    magtart replied to ElliottWasHere's topic in Insurance & Financing

    Can you go to the admissions desk at the hospital tomorrow and straighten it out? The business office might not be open, but there is always someone in admissions.
