after bariatric surgery it took me 1 hour each to finish a glass.. almost 9 hours to finish the jug... that is a real horror story lol..
-
i had my second colonoscopy in a year time.. the first colon prep was before bariatric surgery it was easier and lasted shorter .. after bariatric surgery it took me about 8 hours to finish off the prep... the prep is always the worst part of a colonoscopy.. during the colonoscopy your asleep and wake up after..the results had a few small polyps and they told me i did not have to come back for 5 years whoooooooo....

When can I have some rice? Lol
johnedwin replied to dpendleton02's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i tried some rice with small portions of beef first time after surgery some 6 and a half months later lets just say 6 or 7 spoons and i was full ... i use to remember before surgery eating a whole plate of rice and meat and never feeling full lol... -
same with me only 6 months out while i can't eat huge meals like before surgery i am snacking more often then before and because of that my weight loss has slowed down to a trickle...

johnedwin replied to dpendleton02's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
in a few days it has been 6 months out for me.. -
well even 6 months out i only ate meat a few time since on thanksgiving could be lack of meat made you give it up your preference..
-
my doc said i can occasionally take nsaid with the sleeve..i only take it when i am in pain due to back issues i have..
-
that is why i chose the sleeve evwn though i was diabetic and had gerd.. for that reason i depend on nsaid for all my aches and pains related to the obesity i carried for more than 25 years
-
if you do research you can tolerate nsaid if you have the sleeve.. the bypass you cannot take any nsaid..
-
i have had back for years before my surgery even after losing 100 pounds.. my back pain is as worse as it ever has been..
-
my bariatric doc and surgeon said i could take nsaid occasionally i use naproxen which is better then ibupofen
-
Gastric bypass or sleeve
johnedwin replied to laura071693's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
gerd can be controlled with meds.. i am living example.. i rather have that then the risk of ulcers stomach perforations nutritional deficiency and other issues related to the bypass
