Happy Friday Bandsters!

Its Friday already. I am now almost 2 weeks post-op, or will be as of Tuesday. Its amazing how fast the time goes by when you aren't doing much of anything. I have my post-op checkup on Monday and am curious to see how I do. I'll be thrilled to get these stupid staples out!! My incisions are bothering me a lot but I'm sure its because they are actually healing. I'll also find out if I can move on to the mushies stage.   Originally I was planning on going back to work on Tuesday which would be exactly 2 weeks. I'm not sure now if I should take another week off. Part of me is worried about being on the mushies at work and how I'll do. I'm actually approved under my short-term disability to be out until 8/25 but its only 80% of my pay. Decisions Decisions lol   A close friend is having a big party/pig roast tomorrow. I sort of have to make an appearance but don't want to. There will be so much good food and drinks and I'll still be on liquids. I didn't tell her about my surgery so I know she'll be wondering why I'm not eating. I'll just have to wing it. I know she'll be mad if I don't go.   Not much else going on. I am antsy to get back to the gym and do more than just walking so hopefully I'll be cleared to go back soon.   Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Coping with Daily Health Problems

At every stage of our lives, even the hardiest among us face minor health problems: sore throats and sniffles, heartburn and headaches. The question is not whether we’ll endure aches and pains, but how we will take care of them when they occur.          The steps we take to prevent and treat everyday health problems shape not only our physical but also our emotional health. You probably know someone who treats every little discomfort as a major crisis, and also someone who ignores even serious symptoms and avoids the doctor for years on end. Fortunately most of us fall somewhere in between these two extremes. This chapter is designed to help you prevent many everyday health problems in yourself and in your family, tell you how to treat them when they do occur and point out symptoms that might indicate the need for a professional opinion.          A healthy guide from Healthy Crust - the comprehensive guide for Health and Wellness

Post Op

Hi everyone its elly,   I had my surgery on the 3rd and i was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Im not quite sure where to begin my stomach hurts Alot but thats pretty normal. I couldnt keep anything down untill just a few minutes ago and i was sipping on water and luigi's italian ices.   The surgery day was crazy most of it is fuzzy because of the pain meds and anti nasea meds they give you. When you are in the hospital make sure they give you the antinasea medicine first!! i spent alot of time dry heaving and trying not to throw up because i dint wanna open my stitches.   im very tired and thirsty but i cant drink too much or i get sick and trying not to throw up is Harrrddd The excitement of the surgery has worn off and been replaced with a sense of shock not just to my body but to my mind. Things that used to be easy like putting on a shirt or going to the bathroom is harder to do with so many stitches. I was lucky because my doctor used existing laproscopic scars to get in. The scarriest part for me was the drain. Seeing them empty stuff and when they took it out Good Goddsss does it hurt. I closed my eyes tight as i could n hung onto my mothers hand like a lifeline its easier when you dont look at it. I was incredibly stubborn about using a bed pan which they tried to make me use instead i got up and walked to the bathroom I believe that really helped my recovery time. Who says vanity is a bad thing ? I found that if i could do it once i could do it again and instead of spending a number of nights in the hospital getting woken up pricked and proded i only had to stay over 1 night and got to go home after my drink test in the morning. And can i just warn you all that stuff is Disgustingggg make sure they give you something for nasea before they make you drink it. I was very sick afterwards.   well im getting really sleepy ill blog more later Good Luck Advice welcome !! ~Elly

A minor setback. . .

Spoke with the doctor's office yesterday. Surgery had to be pushed back to October 4th, 2011 vs. September 30th. I am so antsy to start on this new track of life but I have to remind myself not to get so worked up about things. Everything will fall into place!   I can be changed by what happens to me. but I refuse to be reduced by it. -- Maya Angelou

UPDATE

I had read some advice on here and I wish I had taken it. Someone had said to make a list of why you were having VSG. And then after the surgery when you were struggling you would be able to give yourself a pep talk. I honestly didn’t think I would struggle.   I have always considered myself to have a pretty high tolerance for pain. I thought I would come out of this thing famously.   I went in on Monday for my surgery. They were not ready. I think maybe they had so many surgeries going on that day it was hard to find an OR for everyone. They took me back around noon I guess. There were 9 nurses getting patients ready for surgery. 8 of them were female. Naturally, I ended up with the one male. He was hot. And I had the great privilege of getting to admit to him that I had just started my period. Fortunately he was very cool about it. I did want to crawl into a hole though. They had two gown sizes. Twiggy- which naturally wouldn’t work for me…and apparently the second one was Godzilla sized. They had several students sitting in on my surgery.   The recovery room was brutal. I was in so much pain.   They brought me up to my room and promised that “Todd” would come and get me to walk in about 4 hours. I never saw Todd the whole time I was there. Finally around 10 or 11 that night I asked to walk. I didn’t have a problem walking.   They took me down for my sleeve test on Tuesday morning. That doctor may very well be the biggest a*****e in the world. I have promised myself when I get back to normal I am going back to the hospital to specifically chew him a new one. Though, I would imagine when I finally feel better I will be over it.   Apparently, I passed. Dr. Nease was up on the floor to see me as they were taking me down to take the test. I came around the corner and heard one of the nurses talking about me. They told him I was doing excellent and I was very alert. I came around the corner and he said “there she is!” I waved and went on to pass my test.   Dr. N ordered a tray for me and told me to start on clear liquids. He said my surgery was text book and could not have gone any better. He said he could almost guarantee me that I would not have a leak. He also said I was doing so good I could go home Tuesday night if I wanted to.   They finally took the cursed catheter out of me. I took a shower. Dealing with the JP drain in the shower was challenging. I barely drank anything. I ate just a bit of Jell-O. Then I asked if I could go home.   I will admit- I may have jumped the gun. I just wanted the IV out of my arm so bad. I wanted to wear my normal clothes. I wanted to go home.   In the handbook they gave us they suggested if we lived more than 10 min away from the hospital that we should stay in a hotel in town. I live over 2 hours away. Down some of the roughest curviest roads in southern WV. I let the hotel idea slip my mind. And at about 6pm they rushed me out the door hoping my pharmacy would not close before I got there.   I made it just in time. My mom and I were both frazzled. I was in a lot of pain. All of the bumping and jarring and curves really hurt.   We cleared the pharmacy got pain meds and made it home by 9. I crashed in the recliner.   No sleep for me though. The pain meds which I was sure I wouldn’t need would keep me asleep for about an hour and a half at a time. Oddly enough my stomach started growling in the recovery room- and never stopped.   At first that was a bit of a novelty. I haven’t heard my stomach growl since I was 16 years old. After several continual hours of it- the novelty wore off. It would growl so loud I couldn’t sleep. I walked like a mad woman. I was pacing the floors in the house like some sort of deranged elderly person. One tiny shuffled footstep after another.   My bowels would rumble. It was terrible. I thought maybe I needed an antacid- they had given me one on day one of my surgery. So, at 3 am Thursday morning I popped half of a Prilosec. And then threw up. I threw up water- but it is sufficient to say that one spell was enough to make me feel that this was something I would never want to do again.   I called my nurses office and left a message. Told her about my stomach and bowels and the whole Prilosec incident. When she called back I was in the shower. She told my mom I was experiencing gas from the surgery and it would pass. She said I needed to walk (which I had already been doing non stop). And she recommended that I try some gas-x.   Thursday my step dad came over and worked in my yard. I am not sure why- but it looks 100 percent better. Thursday was also mom’s last day with me. She did a load of towels for me and cleaned up the kitchen. I don’t know what I would have done without her.   I tried the gas-x and slept for the first time since getting out of surgery. This morning I am a little better. I still need pain meds on occasion. I can sit up in a straight backed chair for over an hour now. I have been walking a lot more.   I do not get the 64 oz of water per day they want or the 60-70gm of protein. I am getting 8-12 oz of water per day and I manage a couple of tablespoons about 4 times a day of protein.   I find that I am hungry. I was hungry coming out of the recovery room. When I attempt to eat (protein sugar free pudding- greek yogurt etc.) I can only manage a couple of spoon fulls then I am done.   I have had moments of regret. They told us not to expect that everyone’s surgery would go the same. Not to expect that we would all have the same reaction. I am disappointed that I am not feeling that much better. I thought I would be able to go back to work on Monday. I thought I would feel much better than this. I am very glad I asked for that second week off   I can’t wait to get this JP drain out of me on Tuesday. But that means a 4 hour drive. 2 hrs down and 2 back up. I am looking forward to that infamous honeymoon stage where everyone feels great and is losing a ton of weight.   Right now, I feel bad. I hurt. And I miss food.

Same road...different destination
 

...still swimming but no arm floaties...lol

I went back to work...again...yesterday although I am on light duty. That means I am neck deep in...care plans...oh joy. But it is GREAT to feel like I am getting back to normal instead of further away from normal. I was right I think last entry to feel like the worst is behind me. Saw my surgeon and there were no leaks-hallelujah! He feels lilke I pulled on the sstiches in my hiatal hernia repair and got my diaphragm all irritated and swollen again, hence the pain in my side and left shoulder and nausea and hiccups and trouble swallowin. Said symptoms are getting better everyday however-can I getta AMEN!!!! I am eating mashed potatoes now which has done wonders for my constitution...lol. Can't tolerate oatmeal but I can also eat yogurt, frozen yogurt, found a tolerable 42 gm protein shot that has helped me out a lot. I amsuppoed to stay on full liquids for another 2 weeks and then bam it's okay to have chopped foods. I am leary of that so I think I might start trying to puree some things to kind of transition. I am 23 days postop now and things are finally getting back to good. YAY! the weight loss started back again. I have lost 2 pounds in 5 days and I am tickled with that. My only complaint is I wish the stinkin' weather would COOL OFF so I can get outside and walk or bike ride with my kids. It has been 110+ degrees ALL WEEK. I'm thinking Alaska sounds good....I don't know if I can SWIM all the way to Alaska though...lol. Thanks for the encouragment from the peeps in my last post. It really makes my perspective so much less bleak when I hear that I am not alone! Good luck to all you other fishies still swimming!

7 Months Out - Can't lose weight!!

I am now 7 months post surgery and have lost 35 lbs. However, I have been at the same weight for the last month or 2 even though I am following all instructions. I have had all of my fills, and even had to get my last one let out a little as I was getting sick often. I exercise regularly and have been eating what was suggested by my doctor. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any suggestions on how to get past this plateau?

Day TWO after Surgery

Well, this much I know. I feel 100% better. The "Tiny" Gas pills are a blessing. They have really taken alot of the bloating out of my stomach and I am not taking the pain med anymore. which was making me nauseous. I have been drinking liquids, but have a hollow feeling in my gut. Hurts sometimes. I made some potato soup (NOTE TO SELF: PEEL POTATOES NEXT TIME...) and has helped take the Hollow out. I had that yesterday about 3 times at 1 TBL per sitting and I think it is miracle potatoe soup. I feel so much better today. Am still taking it easy. I slept so much better last nite as well. Wish I could sleep on my stomach, but alas, not yet. So FAR so GOOD. YEAH !

2 Days before Lapband Surgery- HELP!

I am scheduled to have lapband in 2 days and feeling completely panic. I have been on every diet under the sun, from phen/phen to HGC. All with the same results, I lost weight then gained back the weight and then some. Lately I have been feeling so tired, defeated and helpless. Rather than giving up I decided to look into lapband, Now just a few days away I am feeling a little selfish, guilty and worried about something going wrong during the surgery. The selfish part has a lot to do wit the expense, as I am paying for it in full (insurance wont pay) and I am worried about what I might be putting my family through. Any words of wisdom out there?

First slip up and last I hope!

Not sure what on earth possessed me but today I decided to try some turkey chili and pick out the pieces of turkey. I'm only a week post-op and supposed to be on liquids only so I definitely should NOT have done that. What surprises me most is that it went down without any trouble and I felt fine for the most part. That was about 2 hrs ago and now I actually feel somewhat sick to my stomach. Not sure if its the chili or my guilt I hope I didn't do any damage and I will definitely not do that again. I'm supposed to be on straight liquids for another week before I even get to the mushies..

From: My Plastics Journey - My first one (of several)

My Appt at SonoBello went excellent today!! My Pt Consultant explained everything down to a science on how they do the lipo. They have to contour everything, they can't just do one section. So you have to take a little off here, and balance it by taking a little off there. The prices were great too! I even added in some extra removal on my waist area, so you think my waist is tiny now? Ohh yeahh. ;o) Can't wait!!   She also assigned me to the very best Lipo Surgeon she has on staff. He is FACS (yeahh!! so is my boob surgeon) and tends to be more aggressive with the fat removal too. He has his work cut out for him for sure!   <H5>Also, she set me up for 2 separate sessions. She said the results would come out much better. She was such a doll and never once acted grossed out or weirded about my situation. She was totally professional. She even said she can't wait to see all my befores and afters, and was sooo excited for me getting my boobies too!! Hahaa!!   So, I guess I need to take some befores of my waist now too. OMG this is all going so fast... good!!   So here's the lineup:   August 25th is my Augmentation.   September 25th is my first Lipo session which includes my inner thigh and entire knee area.   October 12th is my second Lipo session which includes my outer thigh and waist.   Whoohooo!!!!   For reference, my breast Augmentation is costing $6,500 total and   my Lipo for all included is costing $7150   Not really that bad I don't think. </H5>   Source: My Plastics Journey - My first one (of several)

I'm NOT hungry I am disappointed

I am freaking myself out by how much I am thinking about food and the wrong kinds of food too. I said thinking, I am not eating it and I do not want to start cuz I know I can at any moment. I am blogging now and my rule in no food/drinks at my computer so this is helping me at this time. I read about everyone all thinking about food, huh. I am NOT alone!! I know I am an addict for sure. I just need to vent and say yes I think about food too much! I also woke up today and packed food for my trip that I did not get to take because the train was five hours behind schedule. In the past I would have eaten over my disappointments. I still want to eat over my disappointment. Today I find myself writing to you all. I am a real person with real feelings and no one to talk too. I am so glad you are all hear for me today. I do not want to use food as a crutch today. Best wishes imaluckydog

Port leaking?

I will be seeing the Dr tomorrow to find out if my port is leaking? I have gained over 10 pounds in the last few months and can eat so much! The APRN in the office checked my fluid level and I should have been at 7.5cc and she said I am only at 5.5cc. She was very surprised that I was not vomitting from eating so much with 7.5cc in there. That is why I got tested. Wish me luck, because if I am leaking surgery is in my near future!

THE DAY AFTER

Well, No horror stories here, and I would love to visit and respond to those who have inquired about my surgery, but havnet got the energy as of yet to spend much time on the computer. All went well up until last nite. When I coughed and got nausous. Of course the nurse told me she didnt think I would need the nausea meds as I was doing so well when I left, but that would not be the case. I had already taken the liquid hydrocodone and not had issue with that making me sick...So I am no sure what brought it on other than the cough and of course I had the hernia which makes your neck/shoulder hurt. Needless to say I have been in and out of nausea all nite. I do believe after trying the mylanta for gas, which wasnt working, I took a tinly gas pill and I pooted all nite. I found that laying on my left side moved the gas faster thru my system than laying on my right side. I am saying this to be helpful. I do believe the nausea was due to the gas and the pain from coughing only made it worse. I am sore today and plan to do as little as possible. I walk around the yard once and that is enough for me. That's about all the news I have right now. BTW I never did really throw up anything..just and uncomfortable dry heave and spittle... So that was good. Never would I have leaned over the toilet. The sink was my option ! LOL... All IN All I am good. Expected a few issues the first 3 days anyway. I havent cried yet and that is good. LOL...More later.

First Blog Post

Hi. My name is Lauren. I'm 25 years old, 5'4'', 252 lbs. (BMI about 42/43?)I have been struggling with my weight since I was about 15 when I was put on prescription medication for depression. As a result of the medication, I gained a signifigant amount of weight in a short amount of time. Fortunately I was able to loose that initial weight gain with diet and exercise. Then I changed medications again, gained weight...lost the weight. Changed medications again etc etc. In summary, I have been yo-yo-ing for about ten years, going from skinny to obese and back about 3 times. Each time I yo-yo I gain back the weight, and then some. Familar story for a lot of us. IN 2008 I weighed about 155 lbs. Then a bunch of things happened: went through a breakup, lost my job, havent been able to find a job (I'm a teacher). Now I'm 251 lbs. and feeling really bad I'm depressed and ready for a change.   I have been thinking about bariatric surgery for a couple of months now. At first, I was thinking of gastric bypass, but then I found out about the band. In July I met with Dr, Edward Garber (York, PA, USA) about the possibility of getting the band. I went into the appointment thinking, "They will say no. They will say no." Because so many bad things have been happening in my life I was sure no one would be able to help me. Good News. Dr. Garber said the surgery could help me. He said people around my height/weight have a lot of trouble loosing weight. This made me feel like, "Ok, this is a problem other people have." For so long I just blamed myself and blamed myself, and ate, and blamed myself. Now I don't feel so alone.   So far, I have gone to 2 nutrition classes, and had a pulmonary exam. I still have to go through a psych eval. which I am worried about since I'm depressed (but stable) . Then I have to meet with the dietician, and also go to a support meeting. After all that's done, I hope to send my paperwork in and get an insurance approval. My insurance is different than a lot of people's in that I don't have a mandatory supervised pre-op diet. I am thankful for that because I have been dieting and exercising all year to no avail. I hope to get the surgery in Novemberish/Decemberish depending on when the insurance approval comes through. I am hoping and praying to get approved as I know this can be a complicated and disappointing process. I am trying my best to stay calm and mantain my weight.   I can't wait to make these changes that will improve my quality of life!

Eight day post op

Today is my 8 day post op..Went back to work yesterday..Man, I was tired when I got home. I had about a half of one of the single servings of applesauce for lunch/breakfast and wow, I was too full. I just drank water and grape juice the rest of the day. When I got home we had tuna helper. I just ate some of the creamy juice from the mix. It was good but careful not to have too much. Then before going to bed had a popsicle..Refreshing. Today, I wasn't hungry didn't eat breakfast, just had water and grape juice left from yesterday. I had a little bit of melted cheese with refried beans for lunch. Again, I'm so surprised at how full I was. We went tonight to have chinese, my husband and our friend wanted chinese. I had like two bites of chicken, and that was it for me..Nothing else for the night. I'm too full, so it's just water now..I'm trying to make sure I drink enough water and it is definitely keeping me full. My stomach is still so sore. Guess I'm just exhausted tonight..think I'm going to go to bed early again. I just keep forgeting I have just gone through surgery and need to rest more. My body just aches. Hopefull tomorrow, being the third day back at work. It will be better.. I hope.
