2 days Post Op: Water even makes me nauseous
sshawk69 replied to sonnysun's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sleeved 8/17/15 I had the same thing. Room temp. Water worked best small sips try to add a splash of liquid crystal light grape. For some reason only the grape flavor I could tolerate. It does get better!!! Try not to stress about it. Get a pill crusher add it to a little water and take your pill that way. Good luck -
One day post op and in so much pain
sshawk69 replied to Wyswind's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Walking and when laying down lay to your left side it helps move air around in your colon. Small sips. Really cold things at first made my tummy turn. Water at room temp. Broth was also good. Good luck it does get better. -
I experience frothing today for the first time. Took a bite of cottage cheese and quickly another bite didn't chew well!!! It was the worse thing I every experienced. Thought I was going to have to call 911. It took over 40 min. To pass now anything I drink or try to eat feels like it's going to happen again. Or it's just in my head. Was sleeved on 8/17/15 anyone have this happen??

Wow this is exactly me!!! Feeling the same way today I'm four weeks out and have stalled for a week all those thoughts and fears was running through my mind this morning when I stepped on the scale glad to see that it's just a stall and it's not me. -
Wow I was three days in the hospital and they really wanted to keep me one extra!!! Was sleeved on 8/17/15 I was dry heaving for 2 days couldn't imagine going home that same day. But I'm sure mine was triple the cost!! Good luck take it easy rest and walk drinking 1 ounce every 15 min set and alarm if need be.

Been getting my water and protein in. I ate my Greek for dinner last night it was late. was on the go yesterday. Then had the new lactose free milk before bed. Maybe to heavy for my tummy.

Woke up sweaty and nauseous this morning. First time being nauseous since being home from the hospital. I am four weeks out tomorrow any suggestions on what this could be. Only thing different in my diet is I tried a different brand of lactose-free milk yesterday.

Calories and being discouraged
sshawk69 replied to Cervidae's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm 31/2 weeks lost 20 lb I feel the same way. Everyone loses at different rates. I take in anywhere from 400 to 500 a day. -
I'm 3 1/2 weeks I feel the same way. I thought when I started the purée stage I would be getting some energy back but haven't yet. I have a headache that never goes away. I get my water and protein in each day. I go back to work on Monday.

I'm also on this stage I'm desperate!! Living on triple zero Greek, chicken chili I made, re fried beans, squash, can't tolerate any dairy of any kind anymore!!!! I made a turkey dinner last night may I add in 98 degrees weather lol. I put turkey in the blender with some homemade gravy it was delicious. 1 tbsp of mashed and squash felt like thanksgiving. I don't know what it is about scrambled eggs but when I swallow them the kind of hurts. Anyone have issue with certain foods on the stage??? Any recipe ideas would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Comfy clothes when your walking the halls. Shower stuff and towel. -
I was sleeved on 8/17/15 I stopped having my monthly years ago!!! But when I came home I was cramps and spotted I would say it has something to do with the surgery!

Hi same thing happened to me. Doctor looked at mine said it was an allergic reaction to the glue on the tape. My sleeve was 8/17/15 he told me to use hydrocortisone Benadryl cream. Soak in warm bath.

New to this...5 days post op for me..
sshawk69 replied to Debs528's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello, My sleeve was 8/17/15 I also had the same thing. Try going slower and use your 1 oz cups if they gave you those. I had to stop my shakes with milk it made me sick. I can no longer tolerate lactose. Bummer I love dairy and found some great meal ideas. Concentrate on getting your fluid intake daily. Try water in your shake and get unflavored protein powder to add it. I'm very weak last few days and can't go outside its been very hot and it makes me dizzy. Good luck
