I must be Water Soup and Protein shakes lol this liquid diet is worse than I thought

Oh my yes! I was close to mental breakdown! Couldn't figure out why I couldn't sleep my second week. Slept a total of four hours in 5 days! I finally went to the hospital, the gave me ativan which did nothing and went to my family doctor and got some sleeping pills. After using them for three days I was able to reset my sleep pattern.

Hello! I officially have a date for surgery, it will be a few weeks from now on 3/16!!! What are some things you took with you, or things that you didn't bring but wish you would have brought?

Lol. It should be easier to win your money back.

Anyone else share the same date?

I am just over 4 weeks post op and in the last week I started noticing I was having more and more problems with food that didn't want to go down. 3 of the last 4 days I have had episodes where I have thrown up after taking just a few bites of food. One night it was fish, another well cooked cauliflower the third tuna salad and the last cream of potato and leek soup. In each occurrence I got 2-3 bites of food in and I could feel it backing up. I would stop eating but would have pain directly in the middle of my chest like food was stuck in my esophagus. The next 45-60 minutes I would spend throwing up tiny bits and dealing with all my mucous producers going into overdrive. It's miserable and because of it, I am not hitting my nutritional goals. I've heard this could be a stricture, and I am seeing my surgeon at 1pm tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone else experienced this kind of issue and what was done to fix it? On the positive side, I am down 45 pounds in 6 weeks since I started on my liver shrink diet and I have been working out 5 days a week using BigViffer's program so I feel amazing other than this recent development. I have been really successful so far and I hope this won't jeopardize anything.

Torn adductor...Sounds painful. My dog has to have ACL surgery on Friday. Kinda had a stall on the scales but I've had to buy new clothes. Weird seeing muscles I didn't really know I had. Lol

Thank you so much my sister had it done in January and she don't regret it.. She just says, that she is having problem with her protein and water intake..

My sleep cycle was all jacked up for the first week once I was back at home. I had a prolonged stay at the hospital due to some complications so the continual wake-up calls every 2-3 hours for 6 days wrecked me. For the first few days at home I would wake up at 2 a.m. and then just be up from then on. I didn't do anything special to get back on track. Just took my body some time to get back to normal, but it did after a few days. It can be frustrating but it'll get better!

Thank you for this...it made me feel a lot better@nieuwevis [emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
