I had a horrible day with Fluid and Protein too. I also had some weird stomach issues. Tomorrow will be better for us!

I was more afraid of the catheter than the surgery, but I'm kinda glad I had it. With the sheer amount of fluid they gave me during my stay, getting up each time would have killed me.

Exactly what is included in full liquids

The coconut Isopure is my favorite. So far they've all been tolerable for me. Just, um, don't smell them. -

Contraception (TMI for some)
Isalithe replied to KaiserKid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you comfortable with having an iud? That's my go to. -
Warning: I am bad at describing things. I got out of bed by rolling onto my side, grabbing my leg that was on top and using it as a weight to pull myself up. The other arm can be used to help push yourself up. I hope this made some sense because getting out of bed was the worst pain.

Any other November sleevers out there?
Isalithe replied to Ahoraflaca's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Very much stalled. I was told at my appointment today that I need to exercise more to break it. -
Wallaby and Oikos make some no sugar added ones. I know there are a few more brands, but that's what's in my fridge right now.

Surgery is booked and I have mixed feelings
Isalithe replied to Trill's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One of the things that made me relaxed was knowing that I had a room full of highly trained people who just wanted me to be safe taking care of me. That's their job and they're only there for you during that time. I was worried about not waking up, but now that I've gone through surgery, I'm no longer concerned about anesthesia. -
You will definitely feel it when you move to thicker foods. I felt the same as you and then I tried some much thicker soup and oh lord.

I had a couple bad choices during my pre-op diet and I was okay. Just keep to it and everything should be okay.

Stomach pain after EGD
Isalithe replied to lauratro's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had pain after my biopsy that bothered me for a couple days. Taking nsaids on a sore stomach probably irritated it even more though. -
My one month appointment is coming up and they still have me on clear liquids. I am really not a happy camper right now.
-
It's shocking how much better I felt getting that stupid thing out. Life got so much better.

It does, but it's really not horrible. You get nice painkillers if you need them.
