HELP!!!! Anyone post-op!!!
Rosebud2 replied to Eyfura's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had a piece of watermelon. It was divine. I saw it on the list of allowed somewhere. I put it in my mouth and sucked on it. -
I made a cold avocado soup and a salmon souffle. I could only eat a few bites of each, but boy was it yummy.

I know the doctors have to learn on someone, but I don't want it to be me. I'd want a doctor with a lot more experience with the sleeve than that. Are you forced to use him due to insurance or can you choose someone else?
-
Anybody hear from her? Her surgery was scheduled for 6/17.

I got weak and shakey because I could not stomach any of the proteins. I finally contacted the doctor's office and she said I could have the protein shakes after one week. I only did the shakes and did not go on to full liquid until the end of the ten days. If you can hack it, I'm sure it would be better for you. If you can't, contact the doctor's office and see what they say.

This is not something you bargain shop for.
-
Don't buy as much as you think. I overbought. I've got broth coming out of my ears. I bought lots of different flavors of crystal lite and now I find they are all too sweet except for the diluted lemon flavor. You're going to want to get out and have excursions anyway.

A pound or two a day? Sheesh, you guys. You're doing great. I'm jealous. I go a few days and then drop a pound and then maybe another the next day and then nothing for a while.
-
No. I just felt something deep in my chest like when I have bronchitis. It got better after I coughed up the gunk. You sound as though allergies might be getting to you. Have you tried Claritin?
-
Six pounds in ONE day? Way to go!! I would dearly love a surprise like that one.
-
I coughed up a bunch of gunk for a few days after the surgery. I'm sure that is a good thing. Getting it out of the lungs is the purpose of the breathing exercises.

I just got home. My daughter took me out to celebrate (hubby is working out of state). We saw Terry Fator. He'd won America's got Talent, but I never saw him on the show. It was one of the better shows I've seen. We laughed for an hour and a half. I posted a photo of me as we were getting ready to leave.

For about a week and a half I had trouble sleeping too. It went away. It was weird.
-
Dr. Aceves' office sent me that via email. I think it is in their documentation too.

My favorite new show is on TLC, I think. It has Buddy the Baker. I think it is called something like Buddy the boss or something like that. They are magicians with cake decorating. It is fascinating. It is so creative and that is how I look at it. I'm not even wanting the cake I just love watching them. -

I wish this were available to me forty years ago. You are lucky for this opportunity. It would have saved me forty years of yo-yo dieting. -
If they weren't typical teenagers we'd never want them to leave home. I keep telling people that you like them again when they turn 22.
-
Actually my post surgery poops they warned about didn't hit me until I was home two days. Then it was 2 - 3 days of peacock colored poop.
-
Dr. Aceves is F.A.C.P. certified. That was very important to me. I like all of my doctors to be certified.

You can go to the pharmacy and buy a pill splitter. The one smaller than the m&m you can take. When I was having the BP problems Campos called me and told me I could take it whole. It was not very large. He said to be sure to drink a lot after it. I think they were worried about it getting stuck in the esophogus (?)

I used to live in Quartz Hill.

Started with a Leak...Doing great now!

Yep, that is what I was told too. -
Actually I'm not sure what is worse. Six under five or three teenagers at once.
-
You have six children under five??? Girl, you deserve a medal. AND you are going through this recovery process??? You are a saint.

Yes, you can. I leave my computer on all of the time so the phone is never disconnected.
