Sleeved 9/6/16
My problem at first was the powdered Vitamins. I found I could mix them with light Welch's grape drink and get them down without nausea if I only took 1/2 scoop at a time. Of 20 nausea pills I was prescribed, I've taken 13. I have not experienced nausea in a few days and I think it's over. I've felt great and incisions are healing nicely. I go for my first post op visit today and I'm excited to see how much I've lost. I am able to drink well and I especially like the caramel Premier Protein drinks. When I get my carbs in, my go to is filtered Water. I am eager to move on to the phase 2 in the next 2 wks. The wk. after surgery, my sister was in ICU and was so sick. I've been going to the hospital every day. I couldn't use the medicine cups to measure but was able to drink and complete the 12 ounces of liquids pre measured in bottles. What I thought would be hard, was very manageable. My sister was finally moved to a room last night. I got some much needed rest yesterday. Thank God I have had no complications that a nausea pill couldn't solve. I am so thankful that I was able to be there for my sister as her husband died 5 years ago. Thanks for all your comments. I did not tell many people that I was having surgery, but I have begun to open up more now. I am so glad I did. I only lost 6.2 lbs. on pre op diet and I was compliant. I hope this is not an indication of my weight loss post op. Good luck to everyone.
