Massage?

[nessieberry 19]

I got sleeved on 4/22, so I'm 5 days pre op. my back is hella messed up from however I was positioned in surgery. My super awesome fiend who is a masseuse is going to work on it later today. If it doesn't hurt can I lay on my stomach?

I have a fear that if I lay on my stomach and she pushes on my back that I will burst. That's not possible right?

Also is this dumping? I drank chocolate Protein milk with sugar in it and then pooed liquid for 6 times about 10 minutes after drinking it. I also screamed when pain shot horrifically through my abdomen and chest. Pacing and deep breathing helped.

I got sleeved on 4/22 also! I wouldn't lay on my stomach even if there's no pain. Talk to your doc about your concerns during your follow up. Mine is Tues! Good luck!

Sleeved April 22nd also. I can't use artificial sweeteners, so I do use some sugar in my tea, and regular Jello. No problems so far. Congratulations to us ladies!!!!!!

I hate them too, but am tolerating the Isopure. So what are you using, the best I found so far are the naked and Bolthouse Protein plus. Sugar Jello and pudding have been okay. Maybe it was just an off morning...

Congrats to you!

I'd be careful with the real sugar if I were you. Sugar converts to fat. I'd stick with unsweetened. Congrats to you also girly! I'm already down 13 lbs since Monday!

I use Isopure Zero Carb powder in chocolate and vanilla along with the ready made EAS and Pure Protein shakes. I checked on the Naked and Bolthouse a few weeks back but they had too many calories for my plan. I start my puddings, etc on Monday!!!

Nessieberry. Dumping is a lot like food poisoning usually without the vomiting. You get Cold sweats, dizziness, nausea, rapid heart rate. Basically you feel like you want to die but you don't and as long as you didn't consume too much sugar, or fat, it only lasts a couple of hours. The one time I experienced it, there was no actual "dumping". It's called that because the undigested food is "dumped" into your small intestines before it is processed.

As for the massage, Your friend can do a pregnancy style massage where you lay on your side if you are concerned or it is too painful. If it isn't too bad, she can use a round bolster under your hip bones to take the pressure off your abdomen. It is a great reward! Hope you feel better!

I talked to my NUT about the real sugar. She said its fine in these beginning stages because I'm not taking much in. Once I can eat food it will be nice

to move to Proteins and fruits and vegetables. I'm down 12. How many calories are you aiming for? I seem to very wildly depending on what I can tolerate, buy try to keep it between 6-800. Yesterday was rough and I could only get in 500.

They are pretty high in calories. I use them as morning Protein drinks and Breakfast, then i Switch to isopure for the remainder of the day.

pudding will be nice!! I'm doing it now and it's awesome. I never ate pudding on any of my diets, so it's a real treat!!

Honestly, at this stage I pay no attention to caloric intake. I just make sure everything I have is on the approved list and that I'm ingesting the suggested amount at the suggested times. Eventually, I'll be gearing toward the 800 range.
