Post op appointment
HealthyRN replied to HealthyRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did buy injury protein chicken broth and a orange protein water so I think I will be able to set in at least 40-50 grams of protein daily. The doc also said to use milk instead of water in my cream soups add extra and sip on it for hours...... Eating all day? He said by drinking this should not build grazing habits. -

I am a bedside nurse and plan on taking 3-4 weeks off. I currently am 6 days postop. I need to be able to get more calories in so I can make it through a 12 hour shift.

Stomache pain when eating
HealthyRN replied to volsfan82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 10/13 also and if I take to big of a sip of anything I also get that pressure and pain. I am on full liquids so no beans or yogurt for me. I did drink my 4 ounce protein share with non fat fairfit milk and have had chest pain and gurgling intestines..... Then with in 20 minutes diarrhea. Sorry probably TMI but that is what is happening to me. -
Struggling with the liquid diet numbers game
HealthyRN replied to BrightEyes529's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor told me he doesn't care about calories the first week, he said focus on getting your water in the first week. He said it won't hurt to just drink water with very little calorie intake -

Surgery is tomorrow! Nervous, scared and excited all at once

A lot of emotions, my only fear is something going wrong in surgery -
Hi, I works as a bedside nurse on the Med Surg unit and my surgery is Tuesday October 13th with a check-in of 2pm. I am scheduled to work graveyard tonight, Sunday and Monday getting off Tuesday morning. My question is do you think it is smart of me to work Monday night or should I take the night off to get a goodnight sleep prior to surgery?

ARE THERE ANY OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2015 SLEEVERS OUT THERE?
HealthyRN replied to BackToBeautiful's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a a self pay patient and am hoping to complete everything I need to do by mid October! -
I think many people can relate to this posting. It might be easier on your system to stay on the FLD since that is what you will be on after your surgery. Do you have local support groups in your area?

Sometimes if walking away and hiding is what you need, then use that as your coping skill for now. Stay strong and remember you make your own destiny
