    What I want to believe

    Pauliegroup replied to starshine123's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    While I can't promise you'll experience what I have, 9 weeks out, I've yet to be hungry. I eat to get my minimal nourishment. I have moments where old habits kick in but I soon realize I can't eat it or go ahead, but I can only eat a bite or two. The next day the scale has me down another pound.

    My first month after surgery included a post-op infection that needed a month to clear. Today, I find myself always uncomfortable. My stomach tends to feel raw - not hungry, but sore. I eat at best a few hundred calories a day and if I eat more than 3 ounces, my pain increases for about an hour. I also have no energy. Down 65 pounds and don't feel more energetic. Am I rushing my recovery or can anyone else relate?

    Weight Gain 2 weeks post op

    Pauliegroup replied to LinzGood's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm two months out and have dropped just under 60 pounds. Even on regular foods I can at best get 3 or 4 oz down. 6 days out on regular food is unheard of. Puree maybe. Talk to your doctor and make sure you are making smart choices. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

    7 Weeks After Surgery: Down 56 Pounds

    30 days post surgery, down 40 pounds and the other day my lower left side starts hurting. Muscles spasms at first and now soreness. Also, my left shoulder started hurting again just like after surgery. I know there is some dehydration involved, but I freak out and fear kidney issues. I plan to call my doctor tomorrow if the pain hasn't subsided. Any thoughts?

    Trying to change but unsure what to do....

    Pauliegroup replied to PositiveChanger's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    If you are near Chicago you should see suburban Surgical Associates part of Kane baristric center. I had the band in 2008 and did great until about 2014. Then weight came back. I had a revision last month. Gastric Sleeve. Dr. Paul Guske did both procedures. Go see him. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

    July Surgery

    Pauliegroup replied to RedOrangeSunrise's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

    I had Gastric Sleeve on July 25 also. I had a post op infection that put me back in the hospital for 5 days a week after my surgery. I am recovering but still on antibiotics. I've lost 34 pounds so far. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

    Stressed about approval

    Pauliegroup replied to Walter.Sobchak's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Mine took over 3 weeks. I wouldn't be concerned until the end of the upcoming week. You also can't control what is no longer in your hands. Stick with your pre-op diet and if you don't hear by Friday morning, I'd call your coordinator and raise some serious concerns.

    Help! I feel sick all the time

    Pauliegroup replied to jesslovesglitter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I didn't feel nausea but I had a hard time eating and drinking anything for the first 2 weeks. It subsided to the point that I am now getting close to the desired protein and water. But you should still call your doctor.

    Lower left abdomen stitch pain is nearly unbearable. Any advice?
  19. Pauliegroup
    My pain was unrelated to my infection. As long as you don't have a fever, you most likely don't have an infection.
  20. Pauliegroup
    Hi, everyone. My stitch pain went away in 24 hours. Unfortunately, it was replaced by an Abstice that resulted in fever and some nasty drainage. Been in the hospital since Thursday. Hope to be home Wednesday. Thanks.

    lower left pain

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

    Gas was correct for the shoulder but stitch for the lower left abdomen.
  22. Pauliegroup
    8 days post op. Feeling good and dropping pounds. But last night I started experiencing terrible left shoulder pain, but more concerning, lower left abdomen pain. Thoughts?
  23. Pauliegroup
    5 Days in and having trouble getting the protein drinks down. Can low-fat cheeses and beans mushed be eaten?
