I Want To Cheat - 10 Days Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery



Recommended Posts

So far just once. Am not certain of benefit because I get notice of response in email...go to message and then answer it there. There's no connection from the email to the responses in the application....so only reason I d use the ap is to search for forum or post new topic. (So far and all other things being equal).

If I'm not mistaken, you can set up "push settings" within the app for push notifications.

Glad you are sounding better? I will say for a week or so after getting sleeved I wondered WTH I had gotten into. Gatorade? Jello in liquid form? Pedialite? No sugar added juices(apple, cranberry)

After post op can one not do an ECA stack or is caffene and aspirin a no no for a couple of weeks? An ECA stack would definitely get your mind off of eating. Imma have to ask my doc

(null)

Ooooo I would say nay on an ECA (ephederine, caffene, aspirin) stack at just about any time - it's knda a time-bomb. Ephedrine has studies that show it to cause everything from memory loss to suppresion of immunity and healing. caffene is a diuretic and a stimulane and can contribute to depleting trace minerals. Aspirin is a thinner - and combined with the rise of your heart rate due to the other two drugs if you had a bleed it could be really bad.

Stackers are used by so many people, but no one ever goes into how they pulled a muscle (that probably shouldn't have pulled) or a bruise didn't heal well (that would have before).

I would avoid getting into the habit of associating any drug, especially stimulants and ones known to be addictive at that, to "ease" anything related to the surgery. The chances of a cross addiction are uncomfortably high as it is.

Will don safari helmet and poke around in the app for settings. Good thought if its real!

UPDATE...it pushes but when I touch it, it goes to the forum listing...not the post from the person responding. (:

I hear ya! I had to do a two week liquid diet preop that consisted of 5 8oz shakes and a nasty Fiber drink.. Then post op im still on liquids and its been hard focusing on the positive. But honestly I was on a full liquid diet 3 days after surgery. Ive had sf Jello regular broth, sf applesauce, they even gave me sf jello at the hospital.... Not to tell u your doc is wrong but I dnt think its gonna hurt you :)

      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.
