Everything taste horrible to me since I was sleeved on monday. I can barely get 32 ounces of liquid in me right now. Feel very dizzy and lightheaded. I hope you find something you like Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The paperwork said go ahead and shower but this drainage hole is really open Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Same here. Lots of gurgling and gas bubbles at first. Cold stuff seems to make it worse. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I did not realize how long the drainage tube was in my body. It reached to the other side so when they pulled it out it shocked me to find out how long it was Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my hernia repair and sleeve surgery monday the 24th. The air bubbles seem to want to go right to the hernia site. They sit there and are very painful. I get up to walk to get them to move around and out. Right now i barely notice sleeve surgery just hernia. Its super tight and full of air. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just got my sleeve monday and ended up with low phosphorus which could have been because I had so much diarrhea from the fake sugars on my preop diet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I got sleeved and hernia repair monday morning. Woke up from surgery with tons of pressure in my diaphragm from fas bubbles. Right where they did hernia repair. I have been up walking a lot, just got cleared by xray to swallow liquids. Nausea has been a huge issue. They may keep me an extra day because of my getting sick. Finally got chicken broth and Jello but lost interest very fast. Terrified of dry heaving anymore. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Me too at hospital but at home they gave me pills. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Why do they give you pills to swallow for nausea instead of the melt in your mouth ones. Having really hard time keeping it down Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks guys I am home now. Trying to get some Protein shake down me. My sleeve is still pretty swollen, so feels like a big lump in there. Everything I eat tastes like dirty pennies. I am content with cough drops to soothe irritated throat. No problems with sleeve surgery. Mostly hernia repair pain. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Who's spouse doesn't want you to lose much weight? My husband says not to lose over 30lbs. And he is very very slim. (Too slim). I feel he is undermining why I am doing this. Like 30lbs will not make me healthy. It makes me feel like he thinks this is a cosmetic choice instead of a medical need. In fact he had called this elective surgery over and over like I am getting a nose job. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

When can i eat salads after surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I understand low fat and low carb but is the liquid diet truly just to get you used to the diet after surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have a lot of people in my life that cannot gain weight, husband, sister, daughter ect. They eat all day and dont gain weight but are not healthy by any means. And they JUST DON't get it. So instead of the drama Only my hubs knows. And i had to really train him on weight ect. I think as a overweight person my ego is so deflated I just do not need the negativity. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I for myself am telling no one. Every single person I know who underwent surgery had so much negativity. I have told one friend and of course my husband. My kids know nothing of bariatrics so they don't know. And my family is not around that much. It's just a personal decision. You know how much you can handle and what other things might really bother you. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If we can barely eat or drink after surgery how are we going to reach Protein goals? We would have to consume around 32 ounces of Protein shake to get the right protein. At one oz at a time how is that possible. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 4 days pre op and need to buy my Vitamins. Right now i take prenatal vitamins, an Iron supplement and sublingual B12. This is to make myself ready for surgery. What are you all on? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

As far as "fake sugars go" isnt there just as much in the premade Protein drinks, diet puddings, and other sugar free things. Sugar free anything makes me sick so I am panicked as to how I am going to choke down these Protein shakes and yogurts. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am feeling really weak today. Hard to focus and just lethargic. I have been drinking my Protein shakes. I have been drinking Water. I have been eating my sugar free Snacks like pudding and yogurt. Is this jus my body going into ketosis? Also I have been taking my multi Vitamins and sub lingual B12 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That is what i am confused about because i was told ketosis makes liver shrink but the cream Soups are high in carbs. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
