4 Days Post Op...need some HELP!
Elode replied to TieraLeone's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1) your probably not going to get all the required protein in first thing. Try some isopure ready made clear drinks if you can find them they have 40grams per bottle and aren't milky. 2) try some Mirlax 3)Don't! Just NO! I'm virtually smacking your hand - 4)It probably itches because it's healing. 5)Wait until your comfortable with the idea, if you think your stomach hurts now lord have mercy! And you CANT have a cigarette So really what's the point??! J.j lol!!! -
I didn't have any of that extra testing done. Just labs. I am "healthy" though, besides being overweight so it wasn't necessary. It may not be necessary for you to go through all that either.

How much liquid restriction 7 days post op
Elode replied to PapaPhil's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That's good! I'm well over a month out and water is just difficult still! I can drink shakes and eat food faster than water. I force Myself to drink at least three 16oz a day and it takes FOREVER! It's just odd! So be happy. If your worried about restriction don't be, just wait till you hit that regular food! -
It's really hard to get it all in at first. Give it a few more weeks. You should probably call your Dr though and Let them know.

Yay! It's about time! I had no doubt!

I rubbed vitamin e oil on mine to keep them soft.

Keep yourself busy! Find a new hobby. : )

I took miralax on day 3 just as a precaution and have been regular every day every since. Drink your fluids!
-
Yes, you can thank the pain meds for that! Well the whole surgery process in general!
-
Yes its true, for me anyway. I know people have ways around it by flattening the soda out ect...I don't drink sodas. Really never have but yeah that's some surgeons "rule".
-
Eww hope it goes well for you tomorrow! You will be fine!
-
I did and they took them out at the appointment. They are a pain in the butt! I wish I never had them but oh well...
-
Lol I want everything!

Yes that's more than likely caused by your body being in ketosis. It sucks but it's a good sign because your body is breaking down fat (that's the short of it) brushing your teeth ect really won't help. It's coming from your insides not you mouth. Drink lots of water and disguise it as you are.
