Ressa_baby 3 Posted December 19, 2015 I am new to this, but I was sleeved November 24, had to stay at the hospital til thanksgiving day due to constant throwing up and not being able to eat. Starting weight was 271. When I went to my 2 week appointment I was down to 253. I don't weigh my self until my doctors appointments because I don't want to become obsessed lol. I was told I could move to the mushy stage but when I try to throw some new foods in my diet I tend to throw up sometimes daily. I still get nauseous a lot through the day, and the medicine they gave me for it doesn't work so I stopped taking it. I often get abdominal pains randomly through out the day but after reading a few post I see that it's quite common. How do you guys stay motivated to eat the right things? I often find myself thinking about foods that I can no longer eat lol. I can see the difference in my body already. I know this post is really random but that's just how I am lol. I'd love to see more before and after pics to keep me more motivated, and a few meal ideas for 1 month post surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsCyrus 90 Posted December 20, 2015 I have surgery on 12/28. I am hoping all the pain/vomit/dumping stories will keep me right on track! I found a therapist with experience treating WLS patients so am staying on her schedule. I sure hope you feel better very soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing I can say is stick to everything the doctors tell you. I know everyone's experience is different, so hopefully you'll be fine. Good luck on your surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerica 0 Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I have this air bubble issue when I swallow air tries to come up then goes down with whatever liquid I'm drinking and then the air comes up very painful anybody else have this issue and have a suggestion? Now I'm at 13 days post op and it's resolved it got better at about 4 days post op but I was feeling my stomach growling slightly because I wasn't able to ingest enough of the Protein shakes or Water. Since day 4 I have been able to get a lot more fluids down and now I'm starting pureed food and I'm glad to say it's all going down well!

MsCyrus 90 Posted December 20, 2015 Thank you! The classes the surgeons office hold are amazing. I have a table filled with my liquid stage pre-op stuff and my 2 weeks after of liquid. I even have my hospital stuff on the table! sleep mask, Gas X strips, SF throat lozenges, a pill for the car ride home, my husband's robe, wipes if I don't feel well enough to shower...seriously prepared here!!

MsCyrus 90 Posted December 20, 2015 Jerica, I have kept in touch with a lot from my WLS classes and have indeed heard several talk about that issue. Talk to your doctor first! Most of the girls I heard with this were sipping too fast. One was using a straw even though she knew that was a big no no! Good luck and keep us posted. I know others will chime in here too!
