@@GeorgiaT It's different because all our surgeons have different requirements to follow.
-
Two weeks of liquids, and 2 days post-op
-
Congrats, all sound like valid reasons! Welcome!
-
They are a tiny round pill that you put under your tongue to dissolve. It's just dissolvable vitamin b-12
-
Only thing I'm taking with different than that is a super b complex on top of the b-12 shot and b-12 dots.
-
Congrats on your surgery! I hope you have a speedy recovery

Heading back to ER again, prayers please

Elode replied to Ann Fielder's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I hope it's the right tool for you too! Hey, there was someone else on here earlier asking about the band to sleeve revision, maybe you could find them and be able to answer some questions? Good luck on your new journey! -
But... What If I Really Love Food? And Other Questions
Elode replied to greatestnameever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lol yep all over the place, but that's ok I get it! I can't even begin to answer all that Because most of it is a "time will tell" kind of answer. I can tell you that the chance of a leak and death are pretty darn slim, skinny comedians are funny too hello Louis CK!, and sushi is going to take a min but it's not out of the question. Your love of food may change, I know I could careless About food or eating at this point ( which is amazing considering I was a food-a-holic ) I know crazy right!? Of course you can still go out with friends! Why would you not be able to? Your planing a WLS not a funeral silly! -
@@ngoycoanaya Ok wait a minute...so your day 6 and not getting any protein in? I just re-read that. You know even if your surgeon doesn't want you to have the "milk -type" protein shakes you can still have things like the clear isopure protein ready-made drinks. You really need to have protein! What are you ingesting as a diet?
-
@@ngoycoanaya No never but I didn't exercise so early out. I wasn't even getting in 300 calories, there was no way I was going to exert energy when I wasn't feeding my body. I'm sure I would have been light headed if I had! Just try to stay hydrated and drink as much protein as you can, and make sure your taking all your vitamins!
-
I think I've had this before and it was really good, thanks for re jogging the memory!
-
Congrats on getting it together and re-starting your progress!
-
Oh and yes, what MrsMike1 said , it's to shrink your liver...sorry I didn't mean to half answer your question!
-
5foot 210 should I have the procedure?
Elode replied to taweedeegirl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Who told you all that? I would love who ever it is that can predict such things to predict my outcome! Lol! Nobody can tell you for sure that you "WILL lose 100lbs"...you may but you may very well not! I wouldn't be to concerned about being 110 lbs you would have to actually get there first. As far as if the surgery is right for you personally, I don't know but if I were you I would spend a lot of time researching the sleeve in general. You could be very successful with it but don't take those numbers to heart! Good luck to you! -
Sounds good.
-
It totally depends on your surgeon!
-
Surgery tomorrow, very scared.
Elode replied to tfarr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was nervous until I Went to lala Sleep land..it's ok and normal but don't let fear consume you, you are going to be just fine! Put all that energy into preparing and healing! Your writing a letter to your kids....sweet baby Jesus no wonder why your a mess! I guess that's a good idea? I don't know I didn't do all that, Just say a prayer and have faith! Your going to make it! -
I was around 16 days out but everyone's different, I had my protein "milky" type drink on the 3rd day-
-
Well congratulations and happy new year to you!
-
Can I really be hungry post op day 5
Elode replied to ngoycoanaya's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's you! Lol! No I don't know if it is or not but maybe try to increase your water when you feel hungry? Stick with it, it gets better! -
Oh well thank goodness! Bleach is our friend! Thanks about the pic! I like to switch it up....luckily I went back in and checked it out because when I did the other one I was going to use It showed nothin but boobs in the circle cut my face right off! Lol!
-
Oh and my glade plug in!! I loved that, I don't like the smell of a hospital!
-
Yes get those, I know some people say they don't/can't help but I took them almost immediately after surgery and I never had any gas pains...Could be just luck but whatever....
-
What have you done well and not so well?
Elode replied to Sunnyskies2283's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've done good with everything so far...water is my enemy! I don't dislike it,it just takes 4 EVER! Oh and I have to make myself eat slow....I'm not great at that!
