Here I Am.....3 Months Later

I think he is an excellent surgeon. I had no pain when I woke up after surgery. However when u get to his office u can usually expect a long wait time and very quick appt. I think he is just so confident in what he does that he overlooks some of the little things that we may find important. -

Protein shake taking for ever to drink
MaMa DeB replied to Pelicanlady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just an FYI It has been said that ur body can only absorb/process 30 grams of protien at a time. So if ur drink has 15g per ounce then its a waste if u plan on drinking more than 2 ounces at a time. And after surgery when u go to ur mostly protien diet u will most likely get constipated. But good luck in ur journey it will all be worth it. -
Post sleeve skin issues

I had a rash in my first month or two. I just put anti itch cream and made sure not to scratch. It lasted like 3 weeks. -
Should I be able to ride on the rides, or no?
MaMa DeB replied to Ree's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I just visited six flags last week. I am 5'3" and weigh 179. I have wide hips and with my weight loss I fit in the seats just fine. Some were snug on my hips but not embarrassing at all and no issues buckling in . Had a great time. -
3 days post-op - can only drink warm liquids
MaMa DeB replied to livingmore's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am just about 12 weeks out and I had an issue with cold or room temperature water. The plain water made my stomach queasy. I tried different brands and different temperature but it was all the same. So I tried several different water flavors until I found something that made water easier. -

I am 9 weeks post op. I do not take biotin because there is always a chance of growing hair where u dont want it. But b4 surgery I used to get out of the shower with a large clump of hair to throw in the trash. After surgery the shedding minimized a lot. Just recently the shedding has started to increase again. But I figure if I didn't go bald b4, I will b fine during these next few months. Not to mention that I have so much hair I only wash every 3rd day to save on shampoo and conditioner. -
Anyone in the Riverside California area?
MaMa DeB replied to MFoster9812's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi. My name is Debi and I am in San Bernardino. I had my surgery on April 14 2014. -
I am two months out. I do not have issues with food, but I have trouble with water and protien. Plain water makes my stomach queasy and so does protien shakes. I mix some water enhancing drops to make it bearable and I have tried so many different proteins but they all seem too sweet. So I just have to close my eyes and drink up so that I am meeting my docs requirements. Its just a trial and error process. Good luck to u all.

I was also told no ice berg lettuce. Along with the no nutritional value its a little harder for the new little tummies to digest.

I am 7 weeks post op and still have a hard time with protien shakes. I eat protien at every meal but my surgeon requires 50-60 grams of protien drinks. I have tried several different brands suggested on this site but I haven't found one that doesn't make my stomach queasy. So good luck. Wishing u the best.

Long-term effects?
MaMa DeB replied to GottaDoSomethin''s topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
During my 6 month program we were told that the research only goes back about 5 years. It is the newer procedure for weight loss so ur research will b limited at this point.
