Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call

[Jenn31MA 149]

I just had a few bites of soft serve and it is awful. In about 10 minutes I started feeling nauseous and threw up. Now I have diarrhea and the shakes with sweating. I got online to see what is going on. Oy vey. That cured me of sweets.

So don't feel guilty, feel fortunate that you didn't have my reaction.

Sounds like dumping to me. I had a cookie and its too sweet for my sleeve now and i was super nauseous and had diarrhea within like 10 min..not that its a bad thing as it will keep me away from sweets.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to give you an update on me since I haven't commented lately. I have been in intense pain the last two weeks and haven't been able to eat or drink anything. I would wake up extremely naseuous and felt like nothing would stay down. I had additional pain from no bm and was told by the surgeon's office to talk a bunch of enemas, Smooth Move tea, magnesium citrate, mom .... I took them and nothing happened. Two days ago, I started vomitting uncontrollably and had sharp pains. Although I felt I needed to really go to the ER, I didn't b/c we recently had an issue in the family where my nephews mother drowned them (2) and killed (hung) herself. SO I wanted to make sure I was able to make it to the funeral and wake which was this weekend. I went to the wake last night and couldn't take the pain anymore and came to the hospital. While I'm thinking I was just dehydrated and constipated b/c of that it , it turned out to be more. I have several blood clots that have developed and this is what caused me to have all of my symptoms. I have one in my liver, stomach, and leg. I've been really scared b/c they keep sending in doctor after doctor and no one is giving me any answers. They put me on blood thinners and say I might have to have additional surgery. They don't know how long I might be in here either. They tried calling my surgeon and I have been told he refuses to come to the hospital so I'm not sure what that is all about. They immediately had to remove my Mirena iud and are 90% sure that the clots come from surgery since their primarily in the stomach, liver, and intestines. I'm no longer constipated since they gave me the fluids last night but they been took me off them and I haven't eaten all day. I think I took 2 or 3 sips of Water. When I get more news I'll let you guys know. Also please keep my family as well as my health in your prayers. Thanks. SN: Sorry for any grammatical/spelling errors as I'm on my phone.

i am praying for you and your family.

Toya, my sincerest and deepest condolences for you and your family.... I'm sorry to hear of such a tragedy. You are a strong and wonderful woman for putting yourself and your needs aside and being there for the wake and your family. As far as the blood clots, you are in my prayers and trust that the doctors will heal you. You are in a good place that will tend to your needs irregardless of your surgeon not being there for you. I'm sorry for that too but sorry for him bec he has no character and is spineless to let you sit this out alone. He is an @ss but our prayers for you at this time will go above him and his lack of medical ethics.... Please be strong and feel better. I'm sorry about the family. I'm a therapist and dealt with a lot of families, dysfunction and tragedies....

I was sleeves Sept 12th. I've lost 12 pounds. Had my surgery through Kaiser and my pre op went well. I'm into my 3rd week of liquids and soft foods. I just read in this site that we all need to be getting in 60+ grams of Protein a day plus 64oz of fluids. Feels like a full time job keeping track of it all. Lol!!!

Congrats on your weight loss... Mine was same day as yours & some days I get both Water & protein in high#'s & sometimes I get one or the other - it is a struggle but hopefully it will get easier - sounds like easiest for the protein until you get to real food is Protein Shakes that have like 25 & 30g of protein - each - I been doin mine w/ 2% milk & get 60g+ w/ 2 shakes... Water I do ok but some days I just don't want it so I fill up on sugar free Popsicles & sf jello... Good luck w/ your continued success...

It is a full time job but the payoff is worth it. I was sleeved 9/19 and I am completing my 2nd week. My Constipation is better now. I take a stool softener daily and make sure I get at least my fluids in. My shake makes me nauseated now so I am seeking a different one. Preop 204 surgery day 196.5 today 183.6. To those withbissuesbi pray daily for you to be healed. By Jesus stripes you are healed.

Don't be scared or worried - I think maybe we just underestimate our pouches - I had 5 medium size steamed shrimp & still didn't feel full but I stopped anyway... All that you ate sounds good & of course I bet that smidget of ice cream/cake was so good even though it was just a lil taste... Ig were still trying to figure out the full feeling & I think depending on the food & what it consist of maybe depends on how fast we get full... I think your doin great - now if I could just get like you I'd be good - :-). Thanks for the continued prayers - I need them...

Thanks everyone for the prayers. It means alot to me to know I have your support. I've been in here these past couple of days and I've been getting really down. This whole situation is making me feel a little depressed. I don't like this environment and having a place I can go to like this for support is making this stay a little easier. Thanks again for the prayers and keep them coming so I can get out of here.
