Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

@Mommeof3......you ate probably spilling ketones in your urine as you are loosing weight from burning all the fat. That is also why our breath and mouths taste funny.

When does it end?

Newgrandmother, you are not alone. Sounds like you've got a UTI. I had one from the antibiotics & had to get a prescription to get rid of mine. Also, drink lots of Water, it will help & no sex for about a week.

Yup-if ur in ketosis, urine will have a 'sharp' smell...totally agree with bukki!! 1 way to check is if your local pharmacy carries glucose sticks-the ones u pee on...the darker the purple it turns = ketosis...handy little things

Ok so I am up right now because I just had a horrible bout with gerd. It woke me up. I take the Prilosec daily but yesterday I did add soft foods such as egg. For dinner I had a few bites if steamed shredded chicken and one broccoli spear. Also have not had a bm snide Sunday and I take a stool softener everyday.... This is really painful and my stomach is just making noises.

You might try taking the Prilosec in the morning and one at night about an hour before you go to bed. It helped me. I haven't had gerd since surgery.

I had my post op appointment today. All is well. I did ask about the full feeling. I was told that it takes about six weeks for the new stomach to get adjusted. All labs are good, weight lost is good. Began this journey at 204lbs day of surgery 196lbs today 182.4 and I was sleeved on the 19th. Only downside to my visit is I have h pylori Again sink have to so a ten week regimen again. I love Kaiser and Dr. Um.

OMG! I feel like a pig. Everything I eat especially dinner I have to burp but its not a burp and then it's over oh no I keep burping and it gets louder and louder its embarrassing. Has anyone else experience this before? What am I doing wrong?

I've also had a dull ache in my tummy. Wonder what that's from.

      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.
