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.

      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.
