Just took my first real post op shower - it took so much out of me!
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to JitterbugPerfume's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, the first 3 weeks will feel like that. It is because your body is zapped. I think it is best to take a warm shower and if you have a window, crack it open a little to let the warm air out. Once you make your way to soft foods, you will have more energy. -
I have endometriosis as well. I did not have a hysterectomy as I am 26 and do not have children (What the Doctors say because I have tried getting one a lot). However, I have an IUD which helps with my period. Even with not having a period as much, I still get random pain in the area for about 1 week. I get a sharp stabbing pain like my period is coming on the left or right side of my pelvis. Unfortunately, due to the damage that was done to my surrounding organs, I was advised that I would have pain randomly for the rest of my life. It is not much I can do about it. However, they have suggested that staying active does help alleviate the pain.

Sick of cold and sweet
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to lo.la's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Genepro sold in the bariatric store, can be added to tea, broth, soup. It mixes in nicely. -
Try a suppository or an enema. Also, how is your fiber intake looking? If you eating too much fiber, you may want to cut back on it. Try drinking room temperature water (if you aren't), it helps with digestion.

Do a lot of people have hiatal hernias?
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to hotmessmom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was diagnosed with a Hiatal Hernia after my endoscope. However, once I had my surgery, they were able to see that I actually did not have one. -
Plastic surgery has anyone
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to Milli2mini's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
If you have Instagram. A bariatric person that I follow name is: Jessica_vsg44. She just had surgery is Mexico like 2 weeks ago at the Bariatric Hospital in Mexico. I am trying to stay close to where I live as not all my family can afford to come with me and they want to be there. They are also helping me pay for it. I would have cost me $11,000 (Extended tummy tuck and liposuction) but since I had my surgery with a partnered doctored, it will cost me $9,200. Inflation of the NYC expensive lifestyle. -
I did not have a near death experience after my surgery. However, I did have one when I was younger. Why is happening to you?

@Sleeve1stFitNext is my instagram if you would like to follow. I am just over 1 year out.

I would need to drink room temperature water. It helped it go down faster, Welcome to the Losers Bench!!

I power lift so I have found myself eating 8 small meals a day. It feels like I am constantly eating. I have also added Genepro to my tea. I am trying to increase my protein intake. I need to get these muscles up.

June Date - diabetic, worried it's a drastic step - looking for diabetic stories.
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to modymatey's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am not a diabetic. I was becoming close to a pre-diabetic but my father is a type 2. He did not take care of himself and now has issues seeing, and has almost lost his foot. He got really sick when I was a teenager but when he started losing his sight in 2014, that is when I decided to try and make a change. If you are getting the surgery to solely prevent diabetes or help to control it, you may end up miserable. This journey is hard and it is not an easy path to take no matter what other people may say. You have to want this to be a healthier you across the board. You have to want it, so that your joints don't hurt, or you tie your sneaker without having to pull on the bottom of your pants. So you can be more active and hopefully not need insulin ever again. You have to want it for more than one reason because those reasons will be your anchor to keep going when you want to give up. If you have strongly tried everything, I am biased so I will say do it. It does give you your life bike in more ways than you can ever imagine. It definitely helps with Diabetes (when the program is followed properly), and it is the best decision I have ever made. -
Water intake
Sleeve1stFitNext replied to LyricSoul's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, that was one hell of a solution. I would have never thought that. -
