How long on on puréed food?
hellohealthy replied to hellohealthy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know. I'm on it for a week to two weeks. Just curious to see what others' time frames were like! -
1 scoop vanilla Protein powder 1 cup milk (I use Lactaid as my tummy is sensitive to dairy) 1 tbsp pb 3 small slices banana, frozen Blend! So good. Could do with chocolate powder too.

HELP... Cardiac & Pulmonary clearance
hellohealthy replied to Karlnjax's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I needed a pulmonary clearance which consisted of breathing into a spirometer and getting a chest x Ray. I assume I had no issues because I was cleared for surgery. -

Hello there and thanks for sharing , I guess I will know when the moment comes. Relieved to know that if everything seems ok they will not send me home with one as a standard thing. How are you feeling? Xxx I'm feeling pretty good! Just tired and a little muscle pain but nothing unbearable! Thanks for asking -
Anyone else have trouble sleeping after surgery? I wake up multiple times per night but am constantly tired. Has anyone tried melatonin?

Drainage catheter
hellohealthy replied to Jaymmie Hengle's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was discharged without one. I have no idea how they determined I didn't need it though. I think it has to do with the amount of fluid output. It may also depend on your surgeon. -
Yes in my right leg. I have tingling in my thigh. I think it's from how I slept post surgery.

Congrats!!

So many great ideas!!

If you are that depressed please please please go to your nearest emergency room or call 911! I cannot even imagine what it is like to lose over 100 pounds - you're amazing!! You've got this. Everyone stalls at some point. Just keep following the plan and you'll be fine. Thinking of you! ❤️❤️

Pre-op was boring - bring a book! I saw the medical doctor, the anesthesiologist, the surgeon and got my blood taken. I was also sent to the pulmonologist for a lung function test the next day. Basically just lots of questions. Nothing too bad at all. It's just your final clearance before surgery. And I know, small world! Everyone on the unit was great in terms of being taken care of.

Stay strong!! We are all thinking of you! -
I had mine done there with Dr. Kroh. I had a pretty great experience!
-
It took me 5 days to have one but yeah def call the doctor if you don't go soon!
-
I use a Nutribullet and then let mine sit!
-
I'm on puréed foods now too and it is amazing!! Baby food is so good!

Surgery tomorrow!
hellohealthy replied to cpower100's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Walk as soon as you can!! -
I wouldn't do clear liquids for 5 days. Liquids sure but clear liquid usually means no protein which is what your body needs! I was only on clear liquids for a day, which was the day before my surgery.
-
My clear liquids were water, juice, broth, sugar free Popsicles and Gatorade. I think they say no red or purple so it's not mistaken for blood during the surgery.

Anyone had problems with blood clots?
hellohealthy replied to WAEE01's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had leg compression booties and blood thinners. If you walk enough you should also have a reduced risk. -
What's your question? Everyone is friendly and here to help!

Cleveland/Northeast Ohio - interested in a group?

Me!! I'm in Cleveland. -
...did it take you to figure out your hunger/fullness levels? I know everyone is different, just looking for an average. I am 5 days post op and there are times I feel like I could drink a huge Protein shake and times I'm not hungry and just want water!
