Painful Lump Where IV Was Inserted
Canary Diamond replied to Canary Diamond's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm only 2 weeks post-op. Where did you get 4 from? Do you know someone who had this for 4 weeks? -
Painful Lump Where IV Was Inserted
Corky6984 replied to Canary Diamond's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That happened to me in my arm after my gallbladder surgery and it went away. After getting sleeved, my IV spot was sore for 2 weeks. The vein it was inserted in is now hard. I never paid much attention to it before surgery. I was pissed they put it in my hand! LoL! Hope the lump goes away soon! Sent from my iPhone using VST -
Are we allowed pills?
cms213 replied to LeanerLena5426's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take regular size pills for vitamins and things like that. Although I waited till almost 8 weeks to try the bigger pills. -
Mine was 1 week clear liquids, 1 week pureed, 2 weeks soft diet, and then regular diet as tolerated.

11 days post-op - have not lost any weight!!
Anul posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 11 days post-op. Just came back from a follow-up appointment. While I have healed well - I haven't lost any weight since the pre-op diet. :smile2: Thankfully - I haven't put any on either. My surgeon is not worried about it - but I am. I am still on mushies. He has asked me not to worry about it for another 2 weeks. Is this normal?? Anybody else there in my boat?? :confused: -
Hi- congrats on your success thus far. I just joined today. I had my gastric sleeve on March 27th so one week ago today. Doing well with my liquids. Still have some pain, but everyday is getting better. Started pre-op diet at 235, surgery date at 223 & today at 217, so feel like Im making progress. Having trouble with some family who cant understand why I would do this & trying hard not to be emotional. At this point I feel like this is done and the q&a sessions should be done. Tired of having to justify why I did this. Anyone else experiencing this?

3 days until my new life begins!
ElizabethNYC replied to brbm6's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomorrow is your big and CONGRATS and of course good luck!!! I was stuck on chicken and beef broth until just last week now I am on my mushy phase. Sorry I couldn't help more! -
It's very early in the morning of day three and I am so glad to begin feeling human again. I'm experiencing minimal gas and side pain and making sure that I balance rest with walking. I'm have the most difficulty remembering to sip! Per my Doc's orders, I will begin introducing Protein shakes today and hope for the best. I do hope all my fellow 9/7 Sleevers are doing well. Have a blessed day everyone.

I Need A Kick In The Butt/reality Check!
MinaT replied to JenniJune's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Spend this time telling yourself you are worth doing this. Write down the reasons why you are doing this. Realize you are probably getting better nutrition RIGHT NOW, with this pre-op diet than you got in the last several months. You are not starving to death, you are not going to be malnourished, you are doing the best thing for your heart, body, mind and soul. Use this time wisely. Learn to sip your Water, clean out your closets. Start looking for smaller clothes and getting your clothes that may already be too large into bins. Go get your Gas-X, your after surgery Vitamins (ie Optisource or whatever). Start walking more. Remember liquid in and liquid out, and be careful if you get gas, to get to the bathroom, because after a few days, you may think you need to fart and there's water in there. The words never trust a fart take on new meaning. Stay busy. Think of the next month or two as just a small obstacle to having a whole new, better life. Remember the sleeve is only a tool. Don't go into the surgery thinking the sleeve does all the work. It's UP TO YOU, to work the sleeve. Now is the time to dig deep and be proud of what you are doing. If you can make it through this next two weeks, it will make it easier to get through the following month, which then opens up the rest of your life to a new and healthier you. Believe you are worth this next two weeks and you will do it. Day 3 & 4 are always the hardest. After that it's all downhill. If anything stay positive, smile, and the happier and more motivated you go into this surgery, the happier and more motivated you will come out of surgery. I believe in myself so I didn't cheat, I went into this with full knowledge that I was going to put 100% into it. Believe in yourself. -
I actually craved shredded wheat and was ok'd by the doctor to have it 2 weeks post op

My surgeon and dietician never told me how much calories I'm to have each day other than three meals and was told to start purée when I came out of hospital (I was in hospital for 5 days) my question is one night I could have 5 spoons of purée chicken and vege in 30mins and took almost an hour to drink an up and go but next moring I could drink a whole up and go which is 250ml in 15-20mins no problem I find I can hold more round 200-300ml in 30mins is this normal??? Is their an amount my stomach is only allowed to hold?? I don't Wana stretch my stomach and I have hardly moved my bowls only once in 2weeks and I'm taking lac-dol and adding fibre to my drinks should I see my doc? As I don't see my surgeon until Thursday??

Dear 3 week stall..
italianlady13 replied to itscometothis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a five week stall. Then, overnight, I lost five pounds and now I"m stalled AGAIN. I have both my middle fingers up to this dreaded stall! My mom said that we lose weight as we gained it....does anyone know if this is true? -
... Dear stall.. you can't see it but I am giving you the finger. Indeed, I am. Sigh!

Help to those with experience! I'm at almost 2 weeks post-op (feels like 2 months!!) and I went out to "lunch" with coworkers. I had the chef blend me the Soup to make sure it wasn't solid - it was a black bean soup, and it was pretty liquidy! All afternoon, I felt awful! My middle part, right in between the bottom of my ribs had this dull yet really unpleasant pain that just made me want to lie down. As a matter of fact, walking helped a little, and I even kneeled in front of my computer for some relief! It's as if I had a REALLY tight girdle squeezing me right in my upper middle below my chest. What is it???? Ugh, I think I might have felt the same thing with a yoghurt, although less intense? Although it was the weekend and I could lie down, so maybe it would have been as bad. Your thoughts would be infinitely appreciated! Danielle:faint:

Hang in there it takes time. it was 9 days for me and my pain to disappear, but after that wow, energy galore. Rem to eat protein foods, shakes etc. Take a shake and vitamins, you really feel a difference. I have averaged 4.35 pounds a week since Jan 4. It's working and also with exercise too, 30 to 45 min 3 times a week. Try it you will see the difference.

I have a four year old granddaughter who is with us 4 days a week. My wife explained the whole procedure to her, how the doctor was going to do an operation to make Grandpa get skinny. The night before the surgery she told me, no more popsicles Yampa. You are going to get skinny so we can play soccer. She visited me in the hospital and the IV and monitors seemed to scare her a little bit, she wouldn't come and sit on the bed with me. My biggest problem is my wife, she has been losing weight steadily over the past year by diet and it down 75 pounds, but is afraid to eat in front of me. Now our kids are afraid she is going to become anorexic!

I have four kids, and they are older, but I am still wondering what to say to them about my surgery: before/after/during. For the most part, they haven't asked a lot. I have 3 girls ages 17, 15 and 14 and a 12 year old boy. They are all in the healthy weight range. My 15 year old was with me during the initial seminar and my doctor's appointment and endoscopy, so she knows the most. The 14 year old has been at camp this last week and has some questions and concerns. I think she is a bit worried about me having a surgery. The other two haven't talked about it very much, but I expect more questions. So far, the talking has been about what I will eat and family meals -- will they need to eat like I do, for instance. Today, my 14-year-old was telling me that hospital food is bad, and she'd bring me some McDonald's when I was in there for my surgery. I had to explain that I couldn't eat McDonald's because my stomach would be healing. I didn't talk long term about no McDonald's. I figured baby steps for that discussion. Any advice from those that are doing this and/or have been there? Thanks!

Hi Cori. Welcome to LBT and congratulations on getting your surgery date. It will be here before you know it. I am excited for you!! I was self-pay too and it is a much easier and shorter process. It sounds like you've got a wonderful support system and that is so important!! I have a family that has helped me too - we are lucky, aren't we? I have high blood pressure and just this week, my doctor cut my meds in half and said she doesn't think it will be long before I am off of them completely. Most of us have some medical issues and losing this weight and being healthier is what it's all about!! Good luck to you. Keep me posted on your progress. Becky
