First Post - Revised Sept. 1st



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. :-)

My Story:

After being sleeved on 8/12/13, I had complications with nonstop vomiting. No matter what I ate or drank, it would get stuck and come right back up. A balloon dilation, 2 surgeries, and after being hospitalized for 2 weeks, I was finally revised to RNY last Sunday morning.

Even though this wasn't my initial plan, I'm still upbeat and looking forward to dropping these pounds!!! *Whoop*

Good luck to you all!!! ;-)

HW: 317

Pre-Op: 298

First Surgery Date: 289

CW: 283

Goal: 170

Totally agree with soccermomma73, you do deserve a break, so sleeve2RNY keep that positive attitude you are an inspiration to those of us that are having surgery. Just keep us posted and how you are doing.

I surely will! Unfortunately, I had to be apart of the small percent of WLS community to have complications. Its just a few extra bumps in the road.

That's great! We have to keep in touch. I feel fine for the most part. I had pain on my left side, but regular Tylenol helps with that. I'm fine with getting my liquids in...I'm just having trouble getting in Protein. But, it's getting easier.

How are you feeling?

I"m tired all the time. And I find I have to move slower than normal. I'm also taking tylenol to help with incisional pain and it helps.

As for eating, I've been on clear fluids all along. But as of an hour ago, i've started experimenting with my first Protein shake. I want to start incorporating full liquids and thicker Soups into my diet. I don't really have any issues with drinking Water which is great.

And yes we absolutely have to keep in touch.

      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.
