I Definitely Regret Surgery.... So Far!

i drank a fruit smoothie from mcdonalds & it did wonders for that empty feeling & excessive spitting but now that its done.. the symptoms are back. FML!!

The first things that popped in my head is the lactose, potentially high sugar levels and the temperature (super cold) on those smoothies. I know you are hungry, but that would not have been my first choice for a new healthy sleeve, much less for your sleeve. Could you try it homemade with lactose free products, Splenda and at room temperature?

i dont eat anything and barely drank. i doubt the sugar would affect me but even if it did, it needs to! im dropping weight extremely fast from not eating & the constant vomitting. i actually cant tolerate fake sugars. they make me quesy & i dont own a blender as of yet.

& the coldness seemed like the best part!! it was like a breath of fresh air. it wasnt too cold where i got a throat freeze or anything. it was actually perfect. now that its done, all the pain & excessive saliva is back.

When you eat and drink otherwise do you usually do cold? If not sounds like your sleeve likes that! Can you make some smoothies at home and maybe even get in a little Protein with some unflavored powder? They sell that smoothie fruit in the freezer section.

i think my sleeve likes cold. i need to buy a blender so i can make my own. as far as Protein, i give up! lol. just the thought makes me gag! it would be like putting poop in my drink. i cant do it. lol. i think at the moment, the pain is thrown off when i drink real cold. it goes down smoothlie. also the taste, my mouth has this horribly dry taste yet im spitting every few secs from the excessive saliva!!!

im not sure but u know what they say... "if it aint broke, dont fix it!" lol. the very very last thing im worried about is gaining weight or eating healthy or watching nutritional facts. i just want to get better!

and the lactose?

That is not why I mentioned those things. Many sleevers become lactose intolerant after surgery and that causes stomach discomfort among other things. Same with high sugar levels and cold drinks. It wasn't about the nutrition.

When I was in the hospital with the Fluid on my lung, I had MASSIVE saliva - they brought me a suckie thing in, like the dentist uses. It was awesome haha! And I was NPO except chewing ice chips then sucking the Water out! Not sure what caused it but it sucked bad!

[jasleeve 440]

ohh.. no i dont seem to have a problem with that.. thankfully!

When dealing with my leak, my doctor was very specific that nutrition was important along with getting in my fluids and Protein in order for me to heal..along with walking. I know that's hard to do but it's vital for healing.

my dr gave me no orders except stay hydrated

I dont' think it would've mattered what my doctor told me, I had to get better so I pushed myself to do what I knew I needed to do.
