Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Steph! I was the day after. That would make sense why we don't really remember lol. We were both out of it. Yeah I was always hot, now the house was 75 and I had long pants, fuzzy feet and a light jacket on. Crazy !!! They used glue on me. They knew not to use latex because I'm allergic to that. Maybe something is in the glue. I"ll check out.

And VSG? I think that's who asked about the cpap. I never used one. Sorry :(

i think it's the tape they use. It ripped off my skin.

@@lovelytrl 9 pounds! That's so exciting! How are you feeling energy wise?

I feel good I'm still on Clear Liquids with the exception of my Protein Shake and the few spoons of buttermilk squash Soup I had that actually gave me life. I asked to move on to the next phase but was told no and that I must stay on clear liquids until day 10???? besides that I'm doing great.

Karen - My incisions were glued, but they are looking a little weird and very itchy. I have a call into my bariatric coordinator. I also had a small weird rash at the hospital and I'm wondering if that's the culprit. How are your incisions ?

VSG - I had to take blood thinners. Since I did IVF for years, the nurse just gave me the syringe and I gave myself the shots. Kind of funny.

Love - OMG Butternut squash ! Isn't that awesome ! It tasted sooooo good. A nice fall taste. yummy ! Do you have stitches ? Congrats on the 5 lbs !!!! WTG !!! I have a sample of unjury and haven't tried it yet.

Steph - 9 lbs !! Congrats !!!!!!

Tarids - ooooooh I"m so happy for you !!! Congrats on getting to some solid foods !! Funny how it takes us forever to each just a small amount !

Layknee - oh no !! I'm so sorry that it took off your skin ! How horrible !!!! I don't know if I ever had tape.. it's weird.. I'm weird.. I'll find out today what is going on !

I just weighted in and I lost 9 pounds since surgery!

Peek- are the unjury Protein shakes good?

That is so awesome! I like the Unjury chocolate Splendor the best, unflavored is good in cream of wheat (@ 1 week we get advanced to puréed foods)

Did it to me too!! At 1 week was advanced to puréed diet, 1st night it took me 30 minutes to eat 1 scrambled egg, but tasted so good, yesterday-35 minutes for a small pouch of tuna w a bit of lite mayo( & I was full), I set the stopwatch on my phone to try to take 30" per meal)!! As far as shakes, my favorite is the chocolate splendor flavor of Unjury

My awesome bariatric coordinate (My Drs nurse assistant at his office) just told me I most likely have an allergic reaction to something. And to put some benedryl cream or gel on the areas that bother me, but not on the incisions.

Anyone ever had a siggi's yogurt? These things are great. 100 cal 14 grams of Protein, and no fruit pieces, it's all blended together. It's a tad more tart than most yogurts, so it's a nice change if you're tired of super sweet stuff. All natural ingredients. Just something else to think about .

Someone said there's a recipe section around here? Ooh watch out ! I'm all about that ! I read yesterday to take some blended cottage cheese, add some italian seasoning, then add some Tomato Soup on top... nice lasagna type taste. I'm all for THAT ! After I get my work done, I'm definitely going to find this recipe section !!!

Everyone have a great day !!!

Where did you get the yogurt? Save those recipes for me in a couple of weeks. I'm still liquid right now. :)

      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.
