Colonoscopy - Horrendous & Terrifying
kittykatlover replied to lash44's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a colonoscopy last year. My doctor prescribed SurePrep. I believe it was 2 five ounce solutions a few hours apart from each other. It wasn't too bad. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App -

I'm so sorry to hear this. Hang in there. I'm just curious, we're you taking the Ursodoil after surgery to help prevent gall stones? My surgeon has me on it and I am just wondering how effective it is. Keep us posted on how you feel. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

If I don't finish a meal, I will weigh what is left that I didn't eat and only count the protein I actually ate. I also use my fitness pal and it allows for half and quarter portions. It's not an exact acience, just try to get the best count you can. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Happy Thanksgiving soft foods
kittykatlover replied to cwebktk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't experienced this. But maybe try going back to full liquids for a day or two and then try introducing soft foods again. Maybe one soft food a day and full Liquids the for the rest of the meals Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App -

What phase are you on? If you are doing 2 Protein shakes for 60 grams of protein you are hitting 400 calories. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App -

Sleep Apnea & Anesthesia
kittykatlover replied to icyblufrz88's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I understand your concern. Just realize you are not the first person they have operated on with sleep apnea. They are trained to deal with these things and will be monitoring you the entire time. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App -

I was peteified. Never had general anesthesia before. I remember moving onto the operating table and the anesthesiologist asking if I was comfortable and then he told me to put the oxygen mask over my mouth and that was it. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

I packed a change of underwear, tablet, phone, charger, lip balm, lotion, and baby wipes. I overpacked. I ended up using my phone, charger, and lip balm. I was discharged 24 hours after surgery. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Chewing but not swallowing

If you feel the need to chew, try chewing at sugar free ice pops. This has helped me trmendously. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
