still not feeling well
fatBgone replied to Jen Jen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree you should see your doc. But I will say that when I left the hospital the nurses stressed that my temp would be up and as long as it wasn't above 100.5 I was okay. They said surgery causes a low grade temp. My temp has been 99 or 100 since my surgery last Monday too. I see the doc today too for my routine follow up. Hope all is well with you. 10 days out isn't that long especially for two surgeries! -
Where do you buy it?

I was allowed as much as I wanted of sf jello. There were days when I ate the whole six pack in addition to all the other liquids but I needed it! -
Day 4 Post Op Diarrehea Question
fatBgone replied to wannabethinn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh mine was sooooo bad!!! My surgeon did say Immodium and it has helped, it's not gone but it's slowed down and under control. Since I'm only on liquids I imagine until I can have some food I'll have to deal w this. -

fatBgone replied to Liberty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found that I had to use a variety of brands and flavors so that I didn't tire of one. I use the Unjury chicken, isopure, profect, Unjury unflavored w various jello flavors. -
I am 6 days post op and I sometimes feel like I there's something in my throat that I need to swallow but there's nothing there. I think it's just the swelling.

Stitches Infected (Caution: Long)
fatBgone replied to Ms Lady in NC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ugh what an ordeal, sorry you had to endure that! You mention that your incision was just a little red? What made you think it was infected? -
When will I feel Normal
fatBgone replied to samantha209's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Surg was Monday and I too am a side sleeper. I have found that my right side is not as sore and I definitely use a number of pillows propped under my belly, chest and between my knees makes it comfortable. -
Just sip very slowly. Diluted apple juice tasted good to me the first few days. It was half juice, half water. Just worry about sipping now until you do feel better. I was done Monday and I started feeling better Thursday so it will happen for you too soon. I've now added in the Unjury chicken protein and sone Isopures but I'm just getting what I can handle now, about 20-35 grams a day.
-
I'm no medical pro but this doesn't sound good. If only for the fact that it will heal and scar much worse than if it were closed. I would definitely call the surgeon.

So glad to hear u r home! Sounds like u have a wonderful family and support system, which is exactly what u need.

water & liquids post-op
fatBgone replied to Coookies's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One of my favorite things right after surgery was diluted apple juice. It was all natural, no sugar added apple juice and I diluted it half and half with water. Hit the spot for me. -
I have no idea what goal weight to set. How did you decide? I'm afraid to go too low, as in what the charts say I should weigh, because I've never weighed that and I don't want to fail. Did you just set small goals along the way?
-
I think that is what I will have to do too. My first goal is 199 and then once I achieve that I will set a new goal. Thanks!

Sorry having technical issues! Anyway, the surgeon I used would do the supervised diet for insurance requirements. They told me most INS requires now, some are 3 mos some are 6. If you want to have INS pay then you will have to follow their rules. Some people go self pay and don't worry about what INS requires. But you could still run into your surgeon requiring you to do a Pre op diet. Good luck
-
Yeah my surgeon will do the supervised diet if his patients need it.

I day out of the hospital. Please advise.
fatBgone replied to Randy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Very good! My first two days home I just did clear liquid that tasted good to me and that was apple juice. Day 3 was a new story and I started some protein then. You're doing fine but I'd b careful w the shakes. -
Day 2 of pre-op liquid diet! Not a happy camper!!
fatBgone replied to happy2behere's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hear ya! I did ask my family to please not eat in front of me during mybore op diet, that seemed to help some. It will get better. -

How is this possible
fatBgone replied to dimples509's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's hard to say what she may be doing but another possibility is that she is drinking while she eats and everything is sliding through and not filling her up.
