Just a little funny that's not so funny :)



Recommended Posts

All day today, I was not able to keep down any liquids at all. I would take the smallest sip and I could feel it just sitting there. I was almost panicking and getting ready to call the doctor. As I was standing in the bathroom at work, looking in the mirror, I noticed my clothes were a little disheveled, so I began to straighten them up...you know...in case I had to go to ER. Well.....I adjusted my sexy VS front clasp bra and felt immediate relief. I could fill the Water going down. Apparently, my bra was hindering my ability to digest liquids today. LOL It would have been nice to discovered this early this morning instead of spending all day planning my bypass apocalypse.

Well, I'm a man, I believe in seeing things to believe them. So perhaps a photo of the problem would be helpful! Many men are very visual in this way, especially when it involves the words sexy and bra and I don't remember anything else you posted!

By the way, this is and was intended to be funny and from a man's perspective so i hope you take it as such!

Would have never thought about that being an issue ????!! I'm a heavy chested girl, and I have a few of those front clasp "items". I'm going to really think about that the daylong and after surgery this month. Thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for the chuckle, that was great!

I can relate, front or back clasp, bras now pose yet another way to cause discomfort post surgery. Instead of unbuttoning pants for post-meal discomfort I have had to unhook my bra a time or two.

After my surgery I couldn't wear a bra unless it was loose fitting the pressure was unbearable I had lap band done then gastric bypass cause I had issues with the band.

Oh no! That must have such a relief for you!

I am so hoping to be able to wear VS again, or even Juicy Couture anything for the first time in my life.

Thanks for the story- it's something to keep in mind because I would have panicked too. My surgery is Feb 16, so I use all the help now!

Retizpa, I'm sure you wouldn't be able to tell much from photos of this problem. The best way to get the full "picture" would be to go to VS yourself, get a front clasp bra in YOUR size, and then try to re-create the problem. I'm sure that if you just explain to the sales lady that you're just trying to conduct a medical experiment that she'll give it her all to make sure that your bra is a good fit. :P

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
