Gas Keeping Me Miserable
Esorami replied to Esorami's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ditto on the gas with the hysterectomy, been there. I remember walking down the halls doubled over from that. I started taking Gas X today and will see if it helps any. You would think the Dr would add GasX to my shopping list before surgery. I will see him this week and throw that at him. -
Gas Keeping Me Miserable
Esorami replied to Esorami's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Goodness, what did the Dr do to fix it? -
I was banded on the 6th and the menu they sent home with me is a puzzle. Or maybe my brain is a puzzle. I have a liquid meal (shakes, jello, broth, etc) every hour. Of course I drink slow, so when does drinking water fit in here? I am so full I can't fit it all in.

dmccarre... Sometimes if u drink too fast or take too much at a time it will make u nauseous. I am 2days out and so far no nausea, knocking on wood. Incisions don't feel all that great. I am finding it hard to follow the post op diet... I mean I can't eat everything they suggest. Hope u have a fast recovery. -

cristy906 Before I left the hospital the nurse gave me a Pepsin shot. I told her I had already taken a Prilosec in the morning, but she still gave it to me. -

Two days out with the band. One problem I seem to be having is...the meal plan they gave me is too much to keep up with. Every hr supposed to have protein shake or soup, or jello 4-6 oz, and in between drink my liquids. My incisions are pretty tender, and I know it's just temporary. -
Ok gals, how did surgery go and what issues are u having? Mine would be the incision soreness. Didn't get nauseated at all. Knock knock. Havent taken any pain meds yet. I stayed in the hospital 1 night.

Yeahhh I am now banded! Feeling great no nausea, and it took 45 min for the surgery. Dr told me I had a hernia so he repaired that too. I am a little sore around incisions, but not that bad. :biggrin: Good luck to all the other bandsters! -
Special K Protein Shake
Esorami replied to angieboyd's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
angieboyd.... I have been drinking Bariactric Advantage. It came from the Dr with Vitamins and Calcium. I was never hungry, and it worked well for me. I had the choc and vanilla powder and was able to mix up a variety of tasty shakes. -
Tomorrow's the day I get banded. Today I am on clear liquids only, nothing else. Well, Jello and sf popcicles. Nervous. :|
-
This site has kept me sane being in touch with others facing the same thing. I think we are making the right decision by banding and meeting up with each other on here. :thumbdown:

The vomiting is nothing like how we would vomit now from gagging or being sick, according to my banded sister, she says it is just food backing up and not the dreaded vomit.
-
@ nancy_marie_00 What time is your surgery? Mine will be at 8am, so that means I must get up at 4:30, take an hour to drive to hosp, arrive 6:45. Having warm broth again, for dinner, nothing past midnight. Jitters. I am not backing out now, not after 2 weeks of just shakes and Jello. I don't even know how long surgery takes, forgot to ask. Good luck.

Re: va_viv I hope we get some sleep tonight! lol:thumbup: I will be getting up at 4:30 am tomorrow, takes 1 hr to get there, have to arrive 6:45am, surgery @ 8. Of all things the weather is not good and rain predicted. I keep saying....whatever. Let it rain, we need it. -
Did u get my reply about the Bariatric Advantage shakes?
Hope u are still doing good.
-
LOL, good luck to u as well. Are u nervous at all as I am? My surgery is at 8 am. I hope we have a quick & painless recovery.
-
My Dr includes it in the program. It was delivered to my door along with all the pre op and post op vitamins, calcium crystals, and the choc and vanilla protein shakes. bariatriceating.com sells it, and probably if u Googled it u can find it other places too. My daughter tasted it and said it is like dessert, LOL.

Found it at Walmart with the other Tylenol products, and next to the Tylenol cold. -

Esorami replied to Sarah71407's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well tomorrow is my date for banding. My feet and hands are cold, I guess from anxiety! So nervous. Mostly nervous about the anesthesia and failing also afterwards. I am on all clear liquids all day, bummer, but I can do it. Drank warm broth for bkfst, and drinking Crystal Light right now, even tho It's freezing weather. -
PB, I am hoping to hear how u are doing following surgery. I plan to post after I get banded. (Wed. 6th)

Esorami replied to Sarah71407's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also get banded on Wed. Getting nervous but staying as calm as I can. I am thinking of the first day home and how I will be eating. Instructions say have something (liquid) every hour. Will anyone else be doing the same? -

Esorami replied to Sarah71407's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For pills that I can't buy in chewable or liquids, I bought a pill crusher. Also, in my instructions it says I can take a pill if it is as small as a pencil eraser. I guess that means quartering a pill with a splitter. I bought a bottle of Tylenol liquid for adults last week. Surgery Wed and I am really anxious. Clear liquids only all day tomorrow. -
pre op weight gain....
Esorami replied to nancy_marie_00's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My Dr didn't give me a certain amount of weight to lose pre op. I have lost, but haven't weighed in a few days so not sure how much. -
Negative comments about getting LapBand
Esorami replied to tryingtolose100's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You can't let others, no matter who they are, decide your health matters. She will either come around and see that u are serious, or not. Don't let her stand in your way. My sis was not happy when I told her, but that will not stop me. Other than her, the only ones I've told so far are my hubby and kids. No one else needs to know. Go ahead with your plans and she will probably mellow out. My surgery is Wed the 6th... getting nervous, LOL.
