Nacol

I was always allowed coffee; long as I went w sf creamer n sweetener. No issues so far.

I was sleeved 14 days ago tomorrow. I started work this week. Today, I am feeling really tired. I drink the 42g Protein Myoplex along w 32 oz water. Doc wants me to drink 64 oz water but it takes all day to get in what I can...seems some days r better than others.

Congrats! The hospital had me up and walking every 2 hours to help w gas...when I went home, there was an expectation of continuing the "walking". 12 days later, I can finally sleep through the night w no gas pain.

Congrats!

Dr. Christopher Reilly (Houston)

I feel like I have received the best care ever by Dr. Christopher Reilly of West Houston Associates/True Results. You can search his video on you tube. I could just tell right away he was all about patient care and it has shown every step of the way.

I'm nacol2013 on mfp.

Just discovered this thread. I had my surgery 9/21. I am still doing full liquids and can't wait for my post op appt next week. I have to wait until then to get something new added to my diet. Today has been tough emotionally as I am so freakin tired of broth and tired of the hubby driving me everywhere in my brand new car. I know he is just lovin it. Doc will not allow me to work from home or drive until I see him...rest walk n sip.

Me too...I'm so tired of broth, decaf coffee, sf koolaid water, sf jello. 9/21 surgery n can't drive or nothing till my Tues post op appt.

I was sleeved last Friday and everday seems to be a bit better than before. I have the shoulder pain that is a true pain in the a** at night but I take those Gas X or pain meds to help. Walking was painful at first but again, it is getting easier as each day passes. Hang in there, you can do it!

I went thru True Results but changed from Dr. Hollis to Dr. Christopher Reilly. I met Dr. Reilly during the PreOp appt, spoke on Endoscopy day, and right before Sleeve day. I watched his YouTube video and could just tell that he was in it for the patients. He has a wonderful bed side manner and took the time to answer all of my questions; luckily i switched from the band to the sleeve prior to surgery based on my conversation w him.

I had a 2 night stay too and was so thankful they let me go yesterday afternoon. The nurses had me up n walking every 2 hours round the clock. I had a bit of nausea n temp spike w dry heaving but now I'm feeling a lot better.

Looks like we had surgery around the same time. I don't have much of an appetite right now but I'm eating the broth, sf juice, water n protein shakes. My hubby has me on a routine; we walk we eat we rest we suck the tube and repeat. My energy is starting to pick up and I'm feeling better. No regrets!

I'm not there w you all yet but "soggy cereal" is on my list of soft foods. I had surgery on Friday n I'm still recovering; didn't get released from the hospital until yesterday afternoon. I have walked today, did my breathing thing I suck at really, took my meds...next up protein shake. Have to try to get at least 60g protein 8 cups water...haha.

Thanks everyone for the support. Looks like I will be released this afternoon!

I just wanted everyone to know that she was sleeved this morning, and i am so proud of her. She is in revovery staying overnight. Thanks to everyone in this forum for your support. I'm just so happy for her......

Hope you feel better! You made it to the finish line...congrats!

Hope you feel better and Congrats on Surgery Day!

I agree wholeheartedly! I joined a gym n got a personal trainer in March to prepare for Friday's surgery. I do believe it will all pay off. I have a routine that I am going to miss for the next 4 weeks and the coming back part is what scares me!

My Lymphedema Doc told me to stop massages to avoid doing more harm in case the therapist didn't have experience. So far, I know of no massage therapist in my area w experience in this area. Staying positive and hoping w exercise/weight loss, it will get better. I have a mild condition--caught very early.

I have leg lymphedema too...any updates/improvements?

I have leg lymphedema and am scheduled for the surgery on Friday. I don't wrap my legs at night but I do use the pump daily/wear compression stockings. Just wondering how things are going for both of you now?

I know the feeling...always starts w my stomach! My hubby has a way of calming me tho.

Me too!
