Cute puppy!

Right now I am expanding the different foods I can eat one food at a time. I eat .25 to .5 cups at a time. Currently trying out raw veggies like tomatoes and cucumbers. What about Ricota cheese, cottage cheese, laughing cow wedges, hummus? Deli ham? Chicken hot dogs? Meatballs? Fish? Tuna salad, chicken salad? Try different things to see what you can eat.....For a while I did not feel like eating but now I do. Not everything tastes like it did before.

Why do you think you have gained weight?

Horrific. I’m sorry.

We are in a learning phase in the beginning, how to make good choices, what foods and how much are good. You can do this! Does your surgeon have a support group so you can get support from people other than your family?

I am light headed quite a bit but it’s when I am walking or standing for a long time. I had this some times before surgery but now it is all the time

In the end, my tests for heart issues came out ok and I was discharged. Just wanted closure on this thread.

Last night I must have eaten too much throughout the day, trying to meet the 100 gram protein goal my nutritionist gave me this week. I was eating some deli ham for dinner, felt too full after about an ounce, and felt alot of pain in my upper left shoulder/chest. To make a long story short, for the first time post op I vomited alot foam (sorry). Today I had water and a protein shake so far as well as my PPI. Feeling ok but a bit nauseous However, I have a dull ache /pressure still in my upper left chest by my arm pit and just above and my left arm feels numb. i called the surgeon and his PA will call me back today some time. I am paranoid and have already been to the er once at my drs request for a different pain a few weeks ago which was nothing. Thoughts?

Well the tests show that I did not have a heart attack. They are admitting me so that they can do a cardio ct tomorrow just in case. ...Anyway whatever pain I was having is now gone. I bet it was just me panicking.

The first time I was here they did ekg, chest xray and blood test

I am in the ER right now. The PA told me my complaints have not been typical such as last night’s chest pressure/pain before I was sick from being too full. He said the pain typically goes away after being sick. I had an ekg and a blood test and I am waiting.

Daily I take an over the counter Prilosec pill and an occasional Tums

Just saying hi! I am new here but have lurked for awhile. Next week I am getting sleeved

Hello, First post... I will be getting the gastric sleeve soon. I received approval finally from my insurance and now have an appt for all the preop details on Monday at my surgeon’s office. I live alone and I don’t want to stay with anyone after the hospital. I wouldn’t even know who to ask. I think I have one night in the hospital and then come home. Did any of you stay home alone afterward? My only fear is that there will be an emergency or complication and I would not be lucid to help myself?

I started the liquid diet today. I am scheduled for 11/21. Tomorow I have prep blood work and a class at the hospital .

I am getting the sleeve on 11/21. 😀

Thanks everyone!
