How long did the Nausea last
asherje replied to asherje's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nausea is very bad, still a lot of pain, i was bawling. Because the IV in my hand suddenly was the worst pain I had ever felt and couldn't get a nurse to come help me. Switched me off my pain pump to a liquid Vicodin type stuff which I almost threw up. Then he tried up put an IV in my forearm, that made me hysterical it hurt do bad & he couldn't get he vein right. Finally moved to my other hand. During which the nausea got better and pain meds kicked in. So for the moment feeling good. -
Have me measuring out the food in 30ml cups

Coffee is a dietetic to me. My fiancé bans it on long road trips, soon as I start drinking coffee I'm having to pee every few mins
-
Swallow test went well, I am now cleared for the clear liquid diet. Was told to avoid cold food/ drinks because it causes stomach spasms. So I ordered the chicken broth with mrs dash Hot tea with Splenda Bottled Water

Hey guys, know how they prefer no sugar or cream in our coffee. I've been adding a splash of vanilla protein.

Ex-Smokers...Cravings?
asherje replied to deedeemuffin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My mom and Nonnie taught me when I was a little girl. Still have to ask my mom sometimes how to do certain things. Try this, go to hobby lobby, michaels or any hobby store you lave local. Pick up a latch hook kit. They are fun and different. You can easily do one by Christmas and give it away as a gift. Here some examples: http://www.everythinglatchhook.com/latch-hook-kits-mrl-y4.aspx?gclid=CNaStebpkrQCFSemPAodHCQAJA -

Gain 2 pounds and surgery on 12-12-12
asherje replied to Breeg89's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I was slewed yesterday. I had to lose before surgery, I was down 7 and then gain back 5. Best advice, take a dietetic today and drink tons of Water with lemon juice it it to shed the water weight. I also ran on my elliptical in a sweatshirt and hoodie to sweat out extra water. Also sugar free low cal Protein drinks. Hope this helps. -

Possibly. But I do run into this issue at home when taking my dietetic. Keeps waking me up. Well was up due to beeping IV bag since they increased the flow I ran out quicker so since I was up they decided 2:13am would be a perfect time to draw blood. Lol

So apparently doc told My fiancé that my sutures came undone on my band, it was in wrong place and dilated my lower esophagus, no wonder even though I was in pain early today I still felt better! So sleeved at 7:30, immense pain and nausea when I woke around 12, they got my balanced out with pain meds and nausea, got my own room at 1. Once pain pump was hooked up I'd say by 4 my on a scale 1-10 pain dropped from like 30 to a 3 lol, did great on my walk at 8, came back to my room where my pain pump quit working for an hour yet wasn't hurting just uncomfortable, not experiencing much pain or gas pain. Nurse just took vitals, my blood pressure dropped low and pulse fast so they've increased my fluids. Which explains why my skin is so dry and itchy, I'm dehydrated. So hoping the increased IV bag speed helps me quickly. -
Can't sleep lol, anyone else have itchy skin? Then to top it off they just intercommed Cold Blue, great not a good thing to hear. Not sure what's going on outside my room. Hope everything if ok with them. Makes me all scared.

asherje replied to deedeemuffin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A few years ago I quit cold turkey don't laugh I was only 28 started crocheting and worked on making a blanket every time I had the urge, Worked for a longtime till my cousins unexpected death. Quit again this month since surgery today and i plan to go back crocheting to make sure that the recovery goes smooth, heard of ulcers and leaks due to smoking. Plus I want to be healthy for my son and fiancé. -
Yeah so about my pain meds, I went for a walk 40 Mins ago and since the button stopped working and just keeps beeping lol. They've ordered me a new one so nurse is off somewhere working on getting it for me lol. Can't get here soon enough.

Me too!. Had my revision surgery from gastric lap band to sleeve this morning. Won't lie, was much worse then the banding lol, but that's to be expected considering they had to fix the mess Dr Felix Speigel made me 5yrs ago and then sleeve me. I woke in the recovery room screaming and pleading for pain medicine and anti Nausea meds, bedding to throw up and for Water or ice to so so. Needless to saw never got water Didn't throw up and once then for me stable from screaming and crying at them I was put in my room around 1pm. Since them am feeling much better. Feel like I just did a marathon, 10000000000000 sit ups and twists lol and got a new BFF Hahahaha my pain med button. Still no ice or water but have a thing to swab a little water across my tongue and lips They should be taking me for a walk at 8pm So apparently doc told fiancé that my sutures came undone on my band, it was in wrong place and dilated my lower esophagus
