Its nice but BOORRRRINNGGGG! lmao. Its been like 3 weeks now without me having anything to do. before surgery i would spend most of my day out on the water on my jetski to keep busy. but still waiting for my incisions to fully heal before i go out in that water. Its not the cleanest water out there lol
-
oh yea i understand that. i have worked from home for years and my job requires maybe 30 minutes a week so i have tons of free time on my hands. I go to the grocery store probably twice a week lol.
-

Consult questions
liveaboard15 replied to corinne2022's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This link has a ton of questions you can ask from stuff about you to stuff about the surgeons experience. https://www.bestbariatricsurgeons.com/31-questions-to-ask-a-bariatric-surgeon/ -
I did for the first 2 weeks after surgery. Every doctor, nutritionist i have spoken to say they dont work. Even my own nutritionist was against me doing it but i did for a couple weeks until i was on soft foods. If you cant remember. Set a alarm on your phone. There are free apps that are pill reminders. need to get use to it because the vitamins are life long.

Nice. your profile says you had the sleeve in April of 2015. Did you get a revision or is that just a error?
-

Sometimes the truth hurts
liveaboard15 replied to Tony B - NJ's topic in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Forum
I am a person who prefers to hear the blunt truth and in real life i tell people the blunt truth. On here on this forum... Not so much. There are tons of post where i want to actually speak my mind which would probably hurt peoples feelings... But not all of us are like that. Me personally hurting my feelings or offending me is nearly impossible. But for others... literally takes nothing to get offended or hurt. So i choose not to be that way to not get people upset at me here lol. -

I found that gatorade zero helps a ton with hitting my fluid goals. Just water is ok but harder for me to drink the full amount. -
I am exactly the same. If i am just sitting and watching a movie i feel like going to the kitchen and grabbing some snacks. But i am not actually hungry lol.
-
I really havent been "hungry" since surgery a little over 3 weeks ago. I have to remind myself to eat.
-
So i bought the premier protein coffee latte one. OMG... So effing delicious LMAO. I've been missing out. Thanks for that suggestion lol

Am I eating too much?
liveaboard15 replied to Flowermoth556's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You should have been given a plan but i had surgery 2 days before you and i eat roughly that. typically 3 small meals a day and i drink a little less water than you. -
Going on 3 weeks post op and can't drink or eat anything
liveaboard15 replied to PM2022's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
you are at your 3rd week stall.. I am in a stall too. I have not lost any weight now for a week now. as for nauseous could be because you are not getting in enough fluids and protein. Is your pee very yellow? that is a sign of dehydration. If it gets worse it may be best to call your surgeon or go to the ER or urgent care to get fluids via IV. -
Going to the gym VSG post-op (CONFUSED)
liveaboard15 replied to Vivis's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
All surgeons are different. Mine specifically says Cardio yes. But not to do anything heavy yet until i am able to consume minimum of 800 calories. and no weight lifting of any kind for a couple months. I am 3 weeks out and still hurting a little so i cant do much. I have a bicycle i want to go riding but i am waiting a bit -
Going on 3 weeks post op and can't drink or eat anything
liveaboard15 replied to PM2022's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thats a little odd. I am also 3 weeks and 2 days post op and i have been eating soft foods now for over a week without issue. Most of my day is mornings 2 quail eggs, turkey sausage and cheese, Lunch a protein shake and dinner typically the same as breakfast without any issue at all. It does take me about an hour to finish a meal tho. I take small bites, chew very well and wait a bit before taking another bite. as for the noises. I get tons of noises when i eat. It stops once i finish. and i get a little pain at the top of my stomach but thats after each bite. As for water i drink a 28oz gatorade in 1 hour without issue. Could be you are taking a little longer to heal. what about your vitamins? are you taking any? That is where i get nauses and feel like throwing up -
Also stomach gurgling like crazy
liveaboard15 replied to lboston's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
everytime i eat my stomach starts gurgling and i burb sometimes lol. as for going number 2. I am still at maybe once a day if that. -
Perfect. My insurance would not cover it. that sucked lol. Good luck with all the requirements from your insurance and your pre op testing. Once you get that all done you will get a surgery date pretty quickly
-
Welcome to the group. Lots of great info on this site. I had gastric sleeve 3 weeks ago. Its been a interesting journey. hopefully your next step is getting started with your pre op testing. Is insurance covering it or are you self pay?
