If I have to go another day on low cal Gatorade and chicken broth I might DIE! Please tell me there is something else I can have! Tuesday is my day to start full liquids.

Full or Eating too fast?
samskiles replied to ladyfrann's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm only 6 days post op so not an expert but I think the back pain feeling is fullness. Not sure though. -
Is spicy soup okay
samskiles replied to lachellove's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think if you tolerated it and it didn't hurt your stomach then it's ok. Not sure though. I'm only 6 days post op -
Could use some advice
samskiles replied to tfoley1104's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm also an emotional eater and actually just finished crying my eyes out because I couldn't eat what my family was eating! It's hard!! But you have to find something else to do. I also put myself to bed and took some meds! I'm hoping it will get easier and I think it will! Let me know if you need a friend! We can get thru this together! -
Just posing a question, not looking for an argument
samskiles replied to laguerr13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the band and just had revision surgery to the sleeve last Tuesday. The band never worked for me and I tried to utilize it as a tool to the best of my ability. My doctor said it just doesn't work for some people. I had it for 2 years and lost 30 pounds. It wasn't worth it! -
Thanks! I'm trying to stay positive!

I had surgery Tuesday and have to be on clear liquids until next Tuesday. Then I can add cream soups and yogurt.

Revision Surgery on Tuesday 8/11
samskiles replied to samskiles's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I'm home and had surgery yesterday and was discharged last night. It went well. Gas pains were pretty bad in hospital and I was very nauseated. They gave me meds and I felt better. Today I'm having trouble getting a liquids in. When will that get better? -

Surgery Tomorrow 8/11

Today is more painful and I have gas pain. It's hard getting water down. That's all I have tried so far. -
Surgery Tomorrow 8/11
samskiles replied to samskiles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's 10:20 and I'm on my way home. Surgery was at 2:30 today. I was extremely nauseous when I woke up but after the meds kicked in I was fine. No pain yet but will probably have some tomorrow. So far so good! -

struggling with liquid diet (August 5th surgery)
samskiles replied to lauren8486's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Days 1 and 2 were brutal for me. Day 3 was better and today was a breeze. I have kicked the bad stuff out of my body so the cravings are gone. My life savor has been chugging water. I never drank water before and now I crave it. It really helps with the hunger! My surgery is Aug 11 so I'm only on day 4. -
struggling with liquid diet (August 5th surgery)
samskiles replied to lauren8486's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on day 1 and I agree that it does suck! I have to be on mine for 2 weeks and my surgery is August 11. Today I really enjoyed a vanilla premier protein drink blended with one banana and 10 almonds. I threw it in my ninja and it was really good! Other then that I starved! -
weight loss before revision
samskiles replied to Caela88's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I weigh 325 and I am having the revision on Aug 11. I did not have to lose any weight before surgery. I just stated my pre-op diet today and will be on liquids for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I will lose weight being on this diet, but it wasn't a requirement. -
MedWorld/True Results/Nicholson Clinic
samskiles replied to ShayB78's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm going thru the Nicholson Clinic and am also self pay and using insurance for hernia. I owe $2500 to dr and $4000 to hospital. I'm surprised you weren't given prices before you received your surgery date. That's very odd -
I have my band to sleeve revision on Aug 11. I would love a friend or someone to chat with that I can give and get moral support, share ideas, etc. My family is supporting me but I want somebody who really understands what I am going thru.

I just added you both

My revision from band to sleeve is Aug 11. I haven't had an unfill and doctor hasn't said anything about it. What have other people experienced? Did you have fluid in your band up until surgery?

My doctor will give me the nasal spray B-12
