I was using OTC fiber pills until last month plus 5 tsp powder Benefiber every morning in my coffee. I just now do the Benefiber. I had to use an enema couple of times when it got bad.

Waking up with headache
Mairkaye replied to Cariboom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a headache for several days but then it finally went away. Just give it time. The shoulder pain could be from the gas they pumped into you. -
What month did you first try carbonated drinks?
Mairkaye replied to Unhappysleever's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Was accidentally given a carbonated drink instead of tea at a drive thru and I drank some of it not knowing it. I was SICK! It cured me from wanting any more. That was about 2 months out and I am now 5 months. -
When food doesn't agree with your tummy?

I had this last night with milk. I am just over 5 months out. Horrible nausea and pain. -
December 2013 Sleevers Come In!
Mairkaye replied to AtlantaRed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sleeved on 12/26 and I have only lost 25 lbs. I am beyond frustrated. I am hypothyroid and have struggled since the surgery to get my dosage right. I think I finally have achieved that but I need to do something to jump start me again. -
My tastes have totally changed since surgery..
Mairkaye replied to Iambeautiful's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am opposite on broccoli. I love it now. Couldn't stand it before surgery. I also love yogurt that I hated before. Still can't stand cottage cheese. -
I take benefiber daily and also a probiotic.

Soda After Sleeve?
Mairkaye replied to DIRTYMESKIN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I accidentally drank some coke at about 3 1/2 months out. I thought it was tea. That was the worst I have felt since having the surgery. I hope that never happens again. -
Diabetes GONE! A1c is.........
Mairkaye replied to BabySheldon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I no longer take meds for diabetes. I stopped a week before surgery. My A1C was good with my first check up and I will have another one at the end of the month. I also have hypothyroidism and am losing so slow. -
Anyones Taste Buds Change After Being Sleeved?
Mairkaye replied to skinnygirlwithin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I love yogurt now but couldn't stand it before surgery. Same with broccoli. I don't like things very sweet anymore. -
WHAT TO PACK FOR SURGERY?
Mairkaye replied to Erin414's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wore home the clothes I went in. I took gasx, chapstick, extra undies, slippers, toothbrush and kindle. I used the toothbrush, gasx and chapstick. -
Just cover the scars for about 6 months and you should be ok.

I don't remember going to the recovery room at all. I woke up in my room.

I did oil pulling awhile back. I need to get some more coconut oil and start again. It did seem to help my teeth a lot. It also seems like it does a detox to your body. I know I felt like I had the flu for just 1 day after I first used it . I use it while I shower and then spit it when I get out.
-
I was a 2 nighter but I had heart issues other wise I would of just stayed 1 night. Like other said take chapstick and I took GasX which I think helped me a lot.

Mine was done with the glue also and I have not had a problem at all. I am only 8 weeks out and they seemed to be completely healed.

Survey - Carbonated Drinks? Do u drink them?
Mairkaye replied to lapnicky's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Was given diet coke (I think) accidentally at a drive through instead of the tea I ordered and the one sip I took turned me off of it for good (I hope). The bubbles did not feel pleasant. -
Energy level changes and different tastebuds after surgery
Mairkaye replied to SleevesUp's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It took a good 3 weeks before I really started having energy. My taste buds have changed. I can eat yogurt where I hated it before I love greens where I didn't before. Only 7 weeks out so I haven't tried much yet. -
Sleeping on your belly
Mairkaye replied to aNewTanya's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a stomach sleeper and it took about 3 weeks to comfortably sleep on my stomach. I would wake up because I had gotten on my stomach during sleep and it hurt. I could sleep on my sides immediately. -
Iron supplements may also be causing it. I had to quit taking it every day and take it every 3 days instead.

Post-op Pain Control? IV Tylenol? Not convinced.
Mairkaye replied to gohelpyourself's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pain pump in hospital was all I needed. Never used the hydrocodone at home. I had very little pain. -
Foods you can't tolerate since surgery
Mairkaye replied to kmiller13137's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had trouble with dairy for a little while but don't seem to bother me anymore. I haven't tried anything spicy yet but I don't think I could tolerate it right now. -
