July 2013 sleevers

[mynewlife1101 1]

Positive thoughts and prayers newlife. You will do great. Same to all who are going this week. Lanuz' date=' if you have thrush I don't know if I'd wait. I called my doctor and he put me on 7 days of oral meds plus several days of swish and swallow. I started yesterday and today my tongue looks like a horror show. I can't imagine what it would be like if I had waited. Also, to all the people with dark poop. Me too!! I wondered if it was at least in part to old blood, blue dye and iodine. We have ingested so much crap.

Today I drank about 55 ounces. That's my record to date. I got down about 42 grams of Protein. Another record. My mom made her awesome potato Soup (the base is skim milk) and I really enjoyed my coffee cupful. She took most of the potatoes out of mine and then blended it to a thin consistency. It still felt a little heavy, but so good. How's everyone else doing?[/quote']

Thank you so much! I can't wait to be on the other side of this!! Good luck to everyone too, we can do this together!!

I know exactly how you are feeling. I was so excited for my surgery, but the day before i had a major panic attack. I cried and cried all night, didnt sleep a wink, wondering the what if this happens and why am i volunteering to have this done. Do I really need to do this. Then I went over why i wanted this in the first place. I am 300 lbs and 51 years old. I cannot walk two blocks without getting into a complete sweat. I wanted my life back, Even on the way to the surgery, i was like why am i doing this? Go with your gut, not your fears. I am so glad that i did the surgery - i am 5 days out, it has not been easy, but we knew that going into it. The greatest fear, is of the unknown, but do not let that stop you from your dreams. It is definately hard work, and I so wish i could fast forward another couple of weeks, but i cant. Have faith in your decisions and you will be fine. Good luck to you all

I'm hungry on Clear Liquids. I'm on them until my first post op visit (tomorrow) but I did test drive cream of rice with unflavored Protein, yummy it killed the hungry beast lol.

I hope to be cleared to stay on full liquids.

when do you usually have your first post op check up? are you guys adding unflavored Protein to everything to get enough protein in. i still cant figure out how to get 60-80 grams of protein, wait a half hour before and after meals, and drink 64 ounces of waters. help would be appreciated. I'm 5 days post op and not taking pain meds anymore, but i am so freaking tired. if i take a nap it throws off my whole schedule to get everything in.

Hi there! I have only used my unflavored protein once in my cottage cheese. My doc has me on puréed food for the first two weeks. meat, cheese and eggs. So I have scrambled eggs with cheese for Breakfast, cottage cheese with sprinkle cheese for lunch and dinner a piece of meat with some sort of dressing to help moisten it. I have net my protein almost every day. I have a really hard time with Water. I am getting 40 oz a day but not much more then that. I have finally been only on pain meds at night before bed. Thus just started yesterday. My pain has finally become bearable. Are you taking your Vitamins? Maybe add a sublingual B12 if your not already taking it. It helps me so much with energy. I can't take naps it just makes me feel even more tired and like you said screws up my schedule!
