Ok, so sorry in advance for this.... I know it doesn't really have anything to do with WLS but I am so annoyed right now. I had the sleeve surgery done on June 22nd (awesome so glad I did). But then 5 weeks later had to have my gallbladder taken out. And now 4 weeks later I get to have another surgery. Yay me! At least its not on my stomach area this time. Its just to remove a tumor from my wrist but dude Im so tired of surgery's. I use to think I wanted a boob job but now I think I like these babies just the way they are. I am so tired of having surgery. Ok done with the venting. Thanks for reading. :)

I understand. Surgeries in general make you feel like poo for a few days, there's the disruption in your schedule, etc. Hoping this one will be the last you'll need!

Thanks, I hope this is the last one too, but the surgeon says I will prob need many more to come on my wrist.

Lol, vent away! I have had quite a few "procedures" since surgery and I know how you feel. It seems like something always pops up. Hope you get it all resolved!

Hi,

@@CANDI254, sorry about all the surgeries! Can I ask if the gallbladder removal had anything to do with being sleeved? I was advised to take some medication to avoid gallstones but didn't take it. (I felt I was taking too many meds to add another one) just curious!

Thx!

@@pumpkinseed29 Yeah, my doc says that about 80% of WLS patients gallbladders go bad after surgery.

      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.
