Does anyone have empire plan insure thur New York State?

Hi! I'm a little over 2 months post op, and I'm stuck!!! I've lost 30 since surgery but these past 2 weeks i haven't lost a pound! Is this normal?? I'm just a little frustrated because this is what happens all the time, lose 30, stop losing gain it back!! Over and over always with the 30lbs! Anyone know what I can do? I go to the gym 6 days a week and eat plenty of protein!!! Thank u

Yeah I probley do need to bump up my calories, I get about 500-600 daily! I log with my fitness pal!!! And it makes sense that I would need more working out so much!!! Thank you all for the advice!!

I am 5 days post op and on the liquid diet! My husband has been nothing but supportive during this entire process!! But this week the hardest week, he's been cooking all my favorite meals for himself! Today was my final straw when he is making himself fried egg sandwiches for breakfast!! It's been okay up until yesterday I actually felt Hungary for the first time since surgery, but I miss food! I just want to eats something and enjoy foods again! I know it gets better and hopefully tomorrow when I go for my post op they will tell me I can start puréed foods! But I feel like my husband just doesn't understand what I'm going thru, what it's like to not be able to eat whatever you want, whenever you want!! He sits and complains that he doesn't know what to make or that he's Hungary, yesterday we went to the grocery store and he complained cause everything looked good! I almost lost it on him!! How can I make him understand what I'm going thru? Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi I'm 2 weeks post op, am I allowed to drink coffee? I could swear my dr said I can have anything I want besides pop, anyone know?

I felt the same way, for the first few weeks but now I'm on puréed food and feel full after a few bites!!

Thank you everyone for the input!!!! I think I'm going to hold off on drinking if for now and ask my doc when I see him next, just to be sure!!

Hey there kimpicc!! Thanks for Asking I'm feeling much better!!!!! Gas pain is gone except Occasionally and just exhausted and worn out but that's expected!! Congrats on your surgery day!! It will be here before you know it!!! My advice would be to make sure you let yourself heal, don't push yourself to get better ASAP just let your body do what it's going to do, expect chest pains from gas (no one told me This, so when I had it I was nervous, but my dr said it's completely Normal) and just walk walk walk as much as you can to break it up, and sip sip sip, take your time while drinking and don't eat anything your not supposed too.. Make sure you take the sperimatior they Give you in the hospital for Your deep breaths home with u and do that as much as possible That helps with the gas! And just take it day by day, it gets way easier!!! Good luck hope That helped!!

I am 2 days post op, and it Doesn't seem to be getting better, I have nausea and can barley drink the required fluids! Has anyone else Experienced this? Is it normal?

Glad to hear everything went well!!! Good luck with the recovery!!

I am a week post op today, I didn't feel Hungary at all until Monday, but jello or protein shake would help! Starting yesterday I was able to add things like pudding, creamy soups and oatmeal, but I don't feel full after eating and now sure when to stop! Has anyone else experienced this? I thought I would have a full feeling after being able to add more things to my diet, why don't I??

Thank you so much that makes so much sense!!

I'm glad your coming along! I'm glad I'm not the only one!!! Idk I just thought is eat what I could and be of full to finish, I'll prob wait to see how it goes for this month then ask the doc when I see him next month for my one month...I hope I can be successful with this too esp since I've come this far!!

Thank you for all the support!!! I'll be keeping everything you've said in mind when I'm feeling down!!

Thank you I'm glad I'm not the only one who had an emotional breakdown!! I don't expect him to be on the same kind of diet as me just to understand a little more! I didn't realize how much my life revolved around food until my surgery! Thank you for the advice, I'll def be distracting myself more when he's eating!

Thank u everyone for the advice!! I'm def going to start listening and stop thinking I'll be better right away! I should of known from the beginning that it does take time!!

Mine was the same time!! Yeah I was nervous too but it's over so quickly..mySurgery with a hernia repair Only took 28 mins!!! You'll do great! Good luck keep us all updated

Yep me too every sip hurts! And this might be tmi but the dr said if I pass gas I'll feel better but haven't at all!! so now I'm wondering why I haven't! Everyone says it gets easier I just can't wait till it does! GoodLuck and I hope u feel better soon

Been home a few hours now, can keep fluids down but not doing so hot with the protein shakes, had to call dr to see of throwing them up was normal and what to do! So now just waiting a bit to try them again!! But overall doing okay!

Well here I am day 2! Still in hospital had surgery yesterday morning! Crazy that the day actually Came so quickly!!! Had a rough day yesterday and tough morning but the nurses and aids here are awesome and helped keep me comfortable! Hopefully will be able to eat some jello and broth today and will get to go home!

So I had my preop Appointment yesterday then we went out to dinner with my dad. My dad has been supportive of me having the surgery all along and told me I was making the right decision, while at dinner I was telling him all about my Appointment and how it's going to be for the next few months, and now he told me I was scaring him a little and he thinks I should rethink my decision, he also asked if I've heard any negatives and unsuccessful stories about people having the sleeve done and it not working, or getting real sick, I said no it's been mostly positives and the only negatives were little things that are just a normal part of surgery...my question to everyone is there anyone who hasn't been successful with the sleeve? And what major complications have u had? Any feedback would be great, even if you've had nothing but success please share so I can prove him wrong and he can stop worrying

Thanks everyone!!! Yeah dr hoffman is great!!! Thanks butterfly125!! They said lots of walking! And drink drink drinking lol

I'm going to buff general with dr Hoffman!!!

So glad to hear everything went well!!! Congrats and good luck on your new journey
