1 Week Post Gastric Sleeve - Hungry, Hungry, Hungry

Hunger can mean dehydration, drink more and see if it satisfies you. -
Surgeons who can fix a leak
painter88 replied to Michael Spath's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sorry what you are going through, but I heard many horror stories of people spending time in the hospital for a leak, so you must be extremely lucky. What did your doctor tell you, when will it be healed? Was your doctor a professional with many years experience? Did he tell you what caused it? I don;t think anybody will want to touch somebody elses work. -
Surgeons who can fix a leak
painter88 replied to Michael Spath's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When did you develop the leak, and what does your current doctor say? -
I'm also 21 days and have it on my left side. I think it's the fat that is pressing in New directions, now that it became thinner. I'll wait and see what happens. It's not bad, just uncomfortable.

Two months out, 70 lbs down!
painter88 replied to bleonhardt's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congratulations! Just curious, what does a twisted stomach mean, and what causes it? -
I also had a very rough ride, first time in a hospital, and it was very hard. Plus, they kept me in recovery for 10 hours because there was no bed available this added more. You'll be fine, it gets better. I almost have now zero pain, and my surgeons allows anything after 3 weeks, so no restrictions soon.

Slipped up on pre op diet
painter88 replied to ashethjac3's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No worries sweety, you'll be fine. Just don't do it anymore, by holding back, you will not crave anything, it comes automatically. -
Don't see why this should affect you. I wish you good luck!

Gallbladder issue?
painter88 replied to Belladonnis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Avoid fatty meats and drink a freshly squeezed lemon a day and you'll have NO gall issues, I'm talking from personal exoerience. -
Don't believe in the naysayers. MOST of us here have gone through it, and are very successful. Bypass may have its long term issues, that's why I stayed away from it, but sleeve is very safe. Of course you feel regret after the surgery until you get back to normal, but that's with everything in life your house, your car, your this and that. Buyers remorse will always kick in. Its more the reward you get out of it, how people accept it, and the reward is HUGE.

Foul smelling burps and vomit (feces)

I had it here and there, but not to a lot t where it really bothers me I'm just laughing to myself what this bad smell is. -
Can I strain my stitches?
painter88 replied to rny_donnalisa's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I can have 12-16 Oz. of soup, liquid in like 20 minutes. 8 Oz. Go down in like 2 minutes if I really want to. Like when I take my multi vitamin. Haven't had liquid restrictions since day 1. -

I try to follow Dr. Schulze (herbdoc.com) if you heard of him. His stuff are real, and he recently introduced a [/url]Protein shake, which I take. It doesn't tastes that good, but it's real....look at his blog. -

Natural remedy for GERD
painter88 replied to triplethreat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found that laying down right after eating is what causes it for me. Best is to remain vertical. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App -

I was sleeved on the 30th and I have the same thing. Eat slowly and you'll be fine. I found that using a teaspoon helps me. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
