What is one thing you use the most post-op
laceygorrell replied to valcatlett4's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have a ninja I use to blend my shakes. I use the unjury chocolate powder with a tablespoon of PB2 and 1 cup fat free skim milk and 1 cup ice... I love my shakes. I'm only 4 days post op. I use a shaker bottle. Gonna look into getting a food scale so when I'm on soft foods I can weigh what I eat. I also am gonna use my fitness pal to track calories -
I don't have a headache at all when standing up... but once I lay down its terrible my head feels like it's gonna burst in a million pieces... finally able to do #2 today and my gas is a little better. I still have all the rumbling in my stomach and it feels so weird. I got one premier protein shake down and drinking grape juice. I'm gonna work on my next protein shake here in a little bit. I have 4 kids and I have had alot of help. I can't wait to be 100% to do all my motherly, wifely duties.

Just had surgery on the 30th... everytime I seem to lay down I get headaches... I am also a side sleeper and since my surgery I have slept on my back in bed propped up a little bit but it has my lower back killing me. I wished I had a recliner like I did for my csections. Also is it normal to have all this rumbling in the stomach while drinking, taking medicine, and just anytime. My stomach has been doing that constantly. I have also been so gassy and letting the farts go and occasional burps but it stills continues. Any help would be appreciated

Lol me too I have been doing the same thing. Had surgery two days ago and while on preop liquid diet I struggled seeing people eating in front of me but post surgery I don't even mind. It's weird -
Back home from surgery

I had surgery on the 30th and it's the weirdest feeling when I drink it's like my stomach does a rumbling. When I take my pain medicine I can feel it go all the way down and the way my stomach reacts is crazy weird -
Just had my surgery 2 days ago. I plan on tracking my calories when I start on soft food in 2 weeks!!! I hear alot of people target to get 800 calories a day.

Just had surgery 2 days ago... I feel so tired and pain especially in a sitting down position. Everytime I drink I feel the bubble. I especially hate the feeling when taking the medicine because I can feel it go all the way down and the feeling is indescribable in a weird way. I'm struggling to get enough fluids while sipping in between my naps because I'm always so tired. Somewhat hurts to breath I really feel it in my right rib while trying to breath in. I am hoping to gain some energy here soon

So I started my clear liquid diet today!!! I have 2 days of clear liquid with my surgery tuesday. I have 8 bottles of isopure. I opened the coconut and alpine punch and instantly felt nauseated by the taste. I opened up the blue raspberry and that was tolerable not good but tolerable but the after taste was horrible. I drank the bottle gone and started having a icky stomach. I sure hope I can drink one more today and 2 tomorrow. I have grape, icy orange, and pineapple orange banana I haven't tried yet!!!

I just had surgery yesterday how long does it take for the pain to let up? I feel like I got ran over by a semi... I'm always so tired and I'm trying to drink as much water as possible but I can only sip it between naps. Any advice will be helpful

Just had surgery yesterday
laceygorrell replied to laceygorrell's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have been walking and trying to get in as much fluids I can in between naps. I also have been having a fever which probably hasn't made me feel any better. I'm trying to do the incentive speromator(probably not spelled right) to help prevent pneumonia but it does hurt to breath. I have had 4 csections, tubal, gall bladder removal and this by far is worse. -

I keep finding myself thinking of food. I'm trying to stay busy but it's not helping to much. I wished I could sleep the next 2 days away

Kansas city area sleevers?
laceygorrell replied to laceygorrell's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
When I first looked into it I was gonna go to Dr hamilton out of Shawne mission but moved to missouri and my insurance only covered where im going now -
Why did you choose bypasd?
laceygorrell replied to lisa0617's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I chose the sleeve because that's the only option I have. My doctor only does the band or sleeve. I have heard to many bad about the band. I got this app and looked at all these threads and alot of people have really good results with the sleeve. I originally wanted bypass as I would like to lose 140 pounds but I am gonna continue with the sleeve and if in the future I could get it revised to the bypass. Alot of people choose the sleeve because it's not messing with your intestines and such but I have seen so many good from both sleeve and bypass -
Mine got moved from the 7th to Tuesday also
