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 :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
