Sorry all that it has taken me so long to write. I have been extremely ill. :sick:sick:sick I wasn't expecting that since many of you bounce back so quickly. I had my surgery at 9 a.m. on Wednesday. I wasn't discharged until 7 p.m. I was feeling very nauseaus and sick. I had a hard time waking up from the anesthesia and being sick, so I didn't get to walk until in the evening time.

I had an 1 1/2 hour ride home. I just had to lay back and close my eyes. Right when we pulled up to the house, I opened the door and got sick. I have been extremely ill- feeling like I can't barely eat or drink do to being so nauseaus and sick. On night 2 I was throwing up, which was scary and awful. I have been trying to force myself to take fluids cause I can tell I am getting dehydrated. I have been so sick that I have not been able to even sit up. And it was so weird- it has been like my arms have been numb and so weak- kind of like you slept on it wrong, but it has been like that for days. Finally today they are feeling more normal. I finally am able to sit up and walk around more today. I pray I am staring to turn a corner. I have been bumbed I have not been able to post and hear how you all are. It sounds like you are doing great. I was suppose to go to work today, but there is not way. I am going to try to hydrate my head off today and rest, and hope I can go to work tomorrow. Thanks to all for your prayers and good wishes. I think things may be turning around finally today. I will write more soon when I am up to it. I am so happy to see you are all doing well and recovering. Good luck to all those to be banded. Don't be scared- I think I am a rare case. Most are recovering great and are not so sick. Love ya all!

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better Carrots! Just take care of yourself, remember, your work will be there tomorrow whether you are or not! Take it easy and let yourself heal. Even though most of us are doing just fine, one thing my DH keeps reminding me is that we all just had MAJOR surgery. So take the time and rest and let yourself heal.

Glad to hear you're doing better Carrot. I was starting to get concerned because I knew it was unlike you not to post. Give yourself time and you'll feel better soon. We're thinking about you and know you'll post as you feel up to it! Good luck in the coming days!

Carrot,

Did you lose weight prior to having the surgery or did you lose since you had the surgery?

Caramel- I lost the first 14 in my pre-op diet. The other 8 1/2 has been since my surgery on Wednesday. I can't believe it is coming off so fast. But I am sure once I am off of the week of Clear Liquids on Thursday it will slow down.

Hi Carrot,

I thought I had asked how you were doing on another thread, but I must be mistaken. I just found this thread.

Sounds like you have had an awful time :(.

I really hope things are looking up, your weight loss is fabulous :)

Its encouraging to see how you've come out of the other side. Did your Doc explain why you had the extreme reaction?

Coo- I am feeling waaaaay better now! I don't really know why I was so sick- I just don't do well with anesthesia I guess. The first five days I thought I would die I felt so bad, but things on day 6 started to turn around and they are better every day. No more nausea thank goodness. I feel a lot better now I am on full liquids and can get some more nutrients. I am really happy with the weight loss so far. I am sure it will slow up a bit now I am off the Clear Liquids.< /p>

      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?

      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.
