Recommended Posts

2 words, phenergren gel! you rub it on your wrist and within 15 minutes nausea subsides! i was really starting to lose hope of ever feeling normal when a friend suggested this gel! i also got some pedialite popsicles and was able to eat one of those today! i had an upper g.i. and there are no problems, just some spasming and the doc called me today and explained that this is just going to take time! hopefully only a few more weeks and ill be feeling better! my brother proposed to his girlfriend of 4 years the other day and the wedding is in may! so i hope to be healthy and feeling great by then!

sorry i havent updated lately. just as i was starting to feel better i started feeling worse! i was having symptoms of a bad sinus infection. dizzy, pressure in my head and ears etc. it was getting really bad so after 2 shots and throwing up every antibiotic i was given my mom took me to the er last night. turns out i didnt have a sinus infection at all and possibly was just dehydrated! after 2 bags of Fluid i felt remarkably better and today everything is much better with the exception of the dizziness. im trying to get in as much fluid as i can today and got some Jello to try and start eating again. thank you all for thinking of me and ill try to keep everyone updated more often! this motion sickness is really bad and moving my eyes to read the screen and type is awful! they gave me 2 days worth of zofran (sp?) script so we plan on picking that up later and i hope it helps. the phenergren just wipes me out but im going to use what i have for now!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
