Recommended Posts

I am here and the nerves have calmed down. My nausea has slowed down. I able to get enough bandwith to write a little blurb. I am in pain and it is uncomfortable with every move. My husband has been my savior and here for my every move. Well the nausea is starting to return. So I will post more later.

Ask for something for the nausea or pain as soon as you feel the slightest twinge, you will get it right away. Rest, walk, sip, burp and you'll get through these hardest days. Then you will see the pounds just melt away! Congratulations on joining the loser's bench! We are cheering for you!

Good Luck! I had a band to sleeve revision and was dry-heaving for 3 days, had to sleep upright. The top of my stomach had completely swollen shut where my band was removed. It was rough, but I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING! You'll get through this in no time!! & while your in their care, ask for whatever you can get! lol

Glad you were able to update. I hope you start feeling better soon. Sip, walk, and ask for meds for the nausea.

Take care of yourself, safe in your travels back home.

Congrats, AmyJ! You're on the sleeved side... I hope you're doing great, and feeling better every minute! I'll be in Mexicali on Sunday, which it looks like is the same day you're leaving. Sorry if we don't get to meet. Nonetheless, here's to your sleeve, and I hope this is a great experience for you!

Best! :thumbup1::smile::thumbup::smile::smile::smile:

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
