Having A Hard Time....



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved on the 27th of July and had been having a hard time ever since. I could eat, couldn't drink and just a general feeling of awfulness. This past Sunday I went to the ER, very dehydrated and in pain. I have a blood clot near my liver and pancreaitis. I wa admitted to the ICU and started on Heparin and clot busters. Just when I thought I was about ready to go home, I was hit with pneumonia. So another 2 day stay. I'm home now, and finally moved to the soft solids but I am still having trouble eating. Not having the gas that I used to, but after I eat anything my intestines seem to hate me. I am hoping that this is temporary and soon I will be rocking my sleeve. On the bright side I am down over 20 lbs....

I'm so sorry you're having a bad time!! I had two set backs in the beginning as well, though nothing as serious as yours! The day after I got home, I had to go back to the ER, I was dehydrated, got sick threw up, and my stomach became really swollen! The pain was horrible! They put me back on IV fluids and the pain pump. Then I got home and everything was great, felt really good.... and then I leaned over the wrong way and my drainage tube shifted and got under my dyaphram and I couldn't breathe! It was so painful... And they pulled it out early, but it had already irritated my dyaphram and stomach and I had bad pain for another week! Seriously I was so upset and had major regrets! One month out and doing great now! It will get better for you too! Sending positive thoughts, well wishes, and prayers your way! I hope you feel better soon!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
