Recommended Posts

I had mine on 11th. Only stayed one day since I was doing laps on the floor like a mad woman. Come home, dry heaves from nausea mess so dropped those. Had my first BM this am and feel wrecked. Seems to be step backward but I imagine there are always bumps in the road. How are you feeling today?

Glad to hear everyone is doing good. I had band removed and sleeve done on 10th. I am having a hard time getting the Protein Drink down. Sore some, but feeling better. I had to stay an extra night due to nausea and dry heaves. Taking it day by day

Mine was the 12th. I went home the same day and also started vomiting all they way home and it lasted until the next day. I seem to be feeling worse rather than better. Getting around today I have been a little short of breath and need to sit down. I too am having trouble getting all of my liquids in as it causes bubbles and chest pain. Ready to be 6 months post op and all of this to be a distant memory!!

OMG your story sounds just like mine.same day and I was leaving IV pole wheel skid marks in the hallway..lol. and when I got home.. WAP! Worked the kinks out and now doing laps in my yard! Only wish I could have a bm already! Feel pretty good other than that and discomfort in sleeve. Hope it all continues to go well for you!

Gas x helped me with the bubbles. I'm so sorry it still hurts:(

I had mine 11/9 and have been doing pretty good, each day gets better. The first couple days I had a headache but it's been ok since then. I am finding that it's a struggle to get my Protein and liquids in (my doc wants 90 ounces liquid and 90 grams of protein)

My Surgery is Tomorrow, Nervous and Excited all at once. Any last minute advice?

Best of luck! I would recommend walking in the hospital as much as possible, it will help get rid of the gas they use during surgery. ????

Thank you...I will do!! I was also told to buy mylicon for the gas from my nutritionist I hope it can't be any worse than having a c section ????

Definitely not worse than a c-section but if you remember how it felt when you would stand up from the sitting or laying position it sorta feels like that for a few days because of your incisions ????

I'm having this same issue. Apparently I was supposed to wait before starting my Vitamins. I started mine the next day. I wish my info was more clear cut.

Had mine the 11th. My biggest issue is getting everything sorted out like Vitamins and shakes and when I need to be doing what. I am looking for someone to keep in contact with if anyone needs a buddy.

      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.
