Where Is Everyone From?



Recommended Posts

Husband is active duty army stationed at Ft Hood, so we live in Killeen, TX. I was referred to Scott & White, in Temple, TX, for their bariatrics program and just had surgery on June 27th. My surgeon is Dr. Richard Symmonds and he is wonderful. Their program is informative and supportive and the hospital was very nice. I keep telling my husband that I am waiting for the other shoe to drop because this entire process has gone so smoothly, surgery was beautiful, recovery seems to be quite well.

I am also an army wife. My husband is stationed at hood and I am in the process of getting the sleeve started.

I am having trouble with vomiting. Mainly when I am sipping on drinks Or trying to eat an egg. When will the vomiting cease? Doctor said it was normal because my stomach is swollen still. Also I am having issues sleeping. Anyone else have suggestions or been thru this?

when did you have your operation? vomiting is part of the course unfortunately! are you online still?

      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.
