October 2014 sleevers check in please!
vidadew replied to Jen - a work in progress's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That is too funny. I was also shopping in the non plus size section and kept wondering if the sales folks were wondering why I wasn't in the plus size area! Bad thinking on my part. I need to remember I was just a temp visitor to the plus size dept. I think shopping in the normal size section is def the best reward for sacrifices I've made over the past 3 months. That and also being able to exercise and be more physical without feeling like I am about to have a heart attack. -

My dr removed the pain pump less than 24 hours after the operation. Then 48 hours he removed all pain pills. Not only am I suffering from the surgery pain but I have a massive migraine. I'm thinking of checking myself out just so I can get some proper medication to get rid of this head pain. -

For me the pain is much worse than c section. Not even in same league! I am so uncomfortable after 48 hours I am starting to regret this whole thing, it's not the incisions it's the heart burn and gas. ???? -
I went under at 9:30 am and not fully awake and conscious until midnight. I was not prepared for this gas pain in my chest. It burns so bad to take a tiny sip. I hope this goes away soon as I am so thirsty. No nausea or hunger at all. I did something really bad. I stuck to Optifast perfect for 3 weeks. Then the day before surgery I decided I would have my last supper!! It was Korean bbq, just the lettuce and the bbq. The guilt was too much and I was ashamed to stumble on last day!! In any case, how long does the gas pain last for most? I've been walking around but it still sits in my chest. I woke up thing, what in the heck have I done to myself?

Ok this is reassuring. Every time I take a sip, it is excruciating. I though something went wrong with the surgery. Hardly anything is coming out of the drain. I've had trouble wearing. The scanned and said it is very full but Uruk tonight to empty it!!! Did anyone else have immediate regret? I did when I woke up but now I'm feeling better about it.

14 Day Optifast Liquid Diet
vidadew replied to dtiller1147's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the soup at night. I add sautee some low starch veges with Pam and then add water and the soup powder. Its been fulfilling and not too bad. For the shakes, I add ice and sometimes a shot of espresso. Not bad. The bars are hopeless. I want to return those. Its only 2 weeks. -
I am on optifast, started today. Its not too bad. I blended it with ice. I have to do this gor 2.5 weeks. I am looking forward to some early weight loss.
