Watermelon You Are My Life Savor



Recommended Posts

I have been having problems getting liquids in without discomfort but then i tried a piece of watermelon chewing it up drinking the liquid n spitting out the pulp... 13 days postop

What if you bought the cup that has a little container in it that you can add fruit to it so it adds flavor to the Water. Or use crystal light or Mijo.

Mmm I love watermelon. I'm going to give some a try but there's lots of sugars in it

Watermelon was always my favorite fruit. But it makes me throw up now. It gets stuck or something no matter how much I chew it.

Oh, how weird is this? My appt. is at 8:30 am, so I may very well see you there. I will be wearing a grey UH t-shirt, jeans and tennies.

I'm so glad to hear everything went well for you, and you're healing well (other than that pesky gas problem). I've had laparoscopic surgery before, and had the same gas problem for a few days.

Hope to see you Wednesday!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
