Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

Ready, Momofthing and Newgrandmother: So sorry you've been sick, Sounds like you've been keeping yourselves on the right track with OTC meds and trips to the ER when needed. Hang in there ladies, we'll make it past all this and have a great New Year! And a much healthier, thinner New Year too.

OH My!! Just read my emaisl here. I am so sorry you all are sick!

MOM- I had the flu and drank Coconut Water. It helped so much!! I was able to keep it down and whatever was in there seriously made me feel better within a day. I swear by it now.

NGMA- Sounds like you are finally on the mend??

Ready- You might benefit from the coconut water also. Fluids fluids fluids!!

Get well soon ladies. ((Hugs))

Feeling better. Took a shower without passing out...yeah, me. But I am so weak. My job is a chore today. Need to rest and drink more.

Kparker -- just plain coconut Water? might try that when I feel well enough to drive.

MOM- Yes! It is bottled now at your grocery store.I use the plain coconut water but they do have chocolate flavored, never tried it. I get mine at Trader Joes but I know it is at the regular store too. It REALLY works for hangovers too, or so I have heard. ;)

Zoo I had a day or two like that. The pain was right in my navel area when getting up or down. Went away after that. If it last more than a day or two you need to call your Doctor.

NEWGM- LOL, guilty. But seriously ithe Coconut Water works sooo well. I have had some coctails too with the sleeve and I felt fine. Can NOT do beer but I do ok with wine and vodka. I have only had a couple of drinks since the surgery because I know it is way too many calories for me. I did get a little too buzzed on the Vodka though, It hit fast. I am such a cheap date now.

Alright fellow sleevers, especially those of you who have been sick lately: Getting over the stomach flu, haven't vomited or had any diarrhea since saturday. But here is the new issue and I'm looking for input on should I be worried. I can't eat, and I can barely drink. Honestly, I think I've had all day today, maybe 1 1/2 cups of food at the most. And it just sits there in my tiny tum. I can feel it even now, and I ate...well tried to eat..over 3 hours ago. Drinking is a joke. I sip, but I cannot seem to get enough in. I know I'm dehydrated...the color of my pee and my increasingly chapped lips tell me that.

I'm starting to freak out here. Yes I'm still weak. But I cannot seem to get in enough nutrition to make me stronger. Suggestions?

      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.
