Hey guys! My name is savanna, I had my surgery on October 10th. Honestly the first week was super rough and I ended up getting c diff (infection in the intestines) which made me super sick. I dealt with quite a bit of nausea until about 3 days ago it seemed to have subsided. I began realizing that hot foods/drinks work better for my sleeve. It seems like every time I drink or eat something cold the nausea comes back. However it's only been 3 weeks for me today and I am down 31 pounds. I am beyond excited to see what the future holds for me and all of you!!

Hi Savanna, I'm Kimberly and was sleeved on 10-11. So sorry you got an infection but glad to hear you're doing better. I've also found when I'm struggling hot liquids help.

Well that first Friday and Saturday after my surgery I went to the bathroom over 60 times and it was extremely painful every time I went. So when I went for my week check up the doctor ordered a stool sample and called me the next day.

      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.
