    Xombae replied to hdiaz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I posted about it the other day, and what I was told was that I'm attempting to do too much too soon

    Help

    Xombae replied to agarth89's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    What I did to change up the broth was put Ramen flavoring in it, and strained the Campbell won ton soup and drank the liquid. Try drinking protein water. It gets easier just make sure you don't eat anything you're not supposed to, it can really really hurt you.

    I'm 17 days out and I'm still getting pain, like when I get up in the morning or after bending over to pick something up. Or laughing really hard.

    Hungry of pureed - WTF

    Xombae replied to Armygalbonnie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm in the same boat, but I think mine is a boredom hunger. I just make sure I'm constantly sipping in between meals.

    Shake Question!

    Xombae replied to tearsofapache's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Target has something called protein water in an orange bottle 4 for 6$ with 1$ off coupons on them.

    About two hours ago I started feeling a dull throbbing pain below my big incision. I'm not sure if something is wrong or if it's just soreness from trying clean my apartment. Does this warrant a hospital visit, or should I just wait until I can make an appointment with my PCP since my surgeon is 200 miles away?
  9. Xombae
    You're absolutely right. Thank you

    They said it's nothing to worry about, that it's totally normal, but goddamn it hurts.

    I'm searching through my stuff for the on call number, but only finding the office staff info. I'll keep looking.

    Needing Sleeve Buddies

    Xombae replied to BillyD's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I'm honestly not paying any attention to my calorie intake, I'm focusing on 40-60g of protein and trying to get in more than 32oz of water.

    Needing Sleeve Buddies

    Xombae replied to BillyD's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I'm on my full liquids. They have me start pureed week three. Always follow surgeons directions. Mine let me have cream of chicken soup that's really thinned out with water, sugar free jello pudding and sugar free Popsicles. Just hold out a little longer!

    I was sleeved Nov 4th, I was finally able to wear jeans comfortably today!

    Full liquids isn't so bad. I'm lovin' tomato soup right now *-*

      Pre or post surgery? I love tomato soup too, but it caused me way too much acid (GERD), post op. Just be careful with it.

      post op. thanks for the heads up.

    I'd love to go back sooner, but my job is really physically demanding. I make guns, and the motions of pushing, pulling, twisting, lifting and standing on my feet for 12 hours made my surgeon want to keep me out until I'm completely healed.
  17. Xombae
    Mine did. They have me out from work for 8 weeks.

    Herbal teas.

    Xombae posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I've never been one for hot herbal tea, until 2 days post op. Do you drink tea? What kind do you like and why? I love sleepy time tea, right now I'm drinking throat coat by traditional medicinal because of the thrush and sore throat I received from surgery.

    3rd day was miserable for me. But, I'm a big baby. I couldn't bend over, sleep for longer than 2 hrs and everything I tried to do was super difficult. I needed help getting up and down and in and out. Today is one week and I'm finally starting to feel normal.
  20. Xombae
    My surgery was Nov 4th. I'm a week post op. I got the preop jitters the morning of my surgery. My surgeon went over the complications of the surgery with my husband and I, and he said he's never seen or heard of anything happening in surgery. It's how well YOU follow directions post op. You'll be fine just follow your post op diet, walk around every hour, and keep hydrated and you'll be on the right track.

    I'm 6 days post op and was wondering if I can put pepper in my broth, or will it harm my new stomach? If it's not a big deal, what did you do to make broth more appealing?
  22. Xombae
    I couldn't imagine driving after surgery. I drove myself today to some Dr appointments (it's my one week post op) and I'm still sore from it. Train tracks, potholes, speed bumps, and sudden stops really don't feel very good.

    Lovaquan shots

    Xombae replied to sunnydeeliteful's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    I'm almost a week out, and the lovenox hasn't bruised me yet. I was freaking out about having to inject myself, but it's not so bad. The needle is really thin so you can't hardly feel it in the skin. When you pull it out it kind of stings but I promise, it's not as bad as it sounds.

    Numbness in my body!

    Xombae replied to Dayita's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm 5 days post of and my left thigh is numb. Has that pins and needles feeling constantly, and when I lay down it hurts. I read it could be sciatica. Since we're using muscles post op to keep our stomach from hurting, something in the back is pressing on a nerve.

    Target carries something called protein water. It's pretty tasty, and also atkins drinks called lift.
