Need advice and encouragement not ripped apart
michelle0721 replied to lisalou1968's topic in The Gals' Room
Lisalou, try the premier protein water. It has 20 grams of protein, only 90 calories, 1 gram carb and 0 sugar. It will help you with snaking and great in between meals. I’m so proud of you. The first step to getting better is admitting you need help. Thank you for reaching out and keep pushing forward. You got this. -

Appetite back with a vengance!
michelle0721 replied to BajanSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi Bajan, Premier Protien Shakes/Powder has 30grams of protein and 5 carbs. It taste amazing and very fulfilling. You can buy the at Walmart or any drug store. Why don’t you try the 4 pack to see if it helps. -
Appetite back with a vengance!
michelle0721 replied to BajanSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi Banjas, What protein powder or shakes are you using? A lot of the protein powders are high in Carbs and low in protein. Make sure you protein powder has 5 or less grams of Carbs and 30 grams of protein. This will reduce the spike with your insulin and keep you full longer. Also try primer protein water to help you with her hunger in between meals. I know you can do this. So say strong and keep pressing forward. -
June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!
michelle0721 replied to gully90's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on June 19th. My doctor gave me the My On-Q Pump for pain. I had absolutely no pain and my recovery is going great. I took the pump out on Saturday and I still don’t have any pain. So far I’ve lost 11 lbs in 6 days. I would recommend anyone having surgery to talk to there doctor about this pump. -

Ouch! Recovery sucks.
michelle0721 replied to bluehat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m sorry you’re having so many issues. I’m also 3 days post op and I feel great. My doctor use the My ON-Q numbing pump for my wounds, Ondansetron ODY 4MG and scopolamine 1.5 patch for the nausea. I know it’s to late for the pump, but see if your doctor can give you the meds for the nausea. -

I had my VSG this morning. During my procedure the surgeon put the ON-Q pump (this is not a narcotic pump). Because of this pump I have absolutely no pain in or around my surgical area. I’m walking a lot more than the other ladies that had their procedure this Morning with another. Since I’m waking some I have little to no gas. I would recommend all future patients talk to there doctor about this pump. It really helps. What is ON-Q ON-Q* is a postoperative, non-narcotic pain relief system designed to deliver local anesthetic to or near the surgical site through specially designed catheters – Providing patients days of targeted pain relief after surgery.

Pain Pump and Blood Thinners
michelle0721 replied to michelle0721's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The pain pump is MyOn-Q. According to their website it is more of a numbing medicine that only affects the surgical area. I suppose to help you get around sooner without the side effects of narcotic. -
Yesterday I did my pre-op labs and had my final appointment with my surgeon. During my visit he told me he was sending me home with a pain pump and 10 blood thinner shots. Is this normal? Has anyone went home with a pain pump and blood thinner?
