Tipsynoodle

Thanks all, lol im not worried about it , I like it lol but he thinks its to much to fast...anyways i have to go in and get my drain out tommorow anyways and he can ask the doc to make himself feel better......thanks again...

weight at surgery was 228 down to 221 now...bmi was 40.7

im 6 days out of surgery and lost 8.6 pounds so far.....is that a good number? what have u lost per week? im just trying to gage this,lol my hubby thinks im loosing to fast? i lost most of it in the last 4 days..Thanks

Hey we are loosing at the same rate....6 days out here...good for us!

if u cant see the pic, they are on my page.....having hard time with this lol

yes thank you all worked out in the end.......sofar no pains at all, no gas pains , eating and drinking like i did before, but i get hiccupps that can hurt lol

no , no pain from the incisions or the drain....a little discomfort in the stomach that is all....like im always full even when i hadnt eaten anything yet...

pics taken 2 days after surgery, drain will come out on aug 10th.....feeling great......

well it depends on what ur protocol says and how heavy and how fatty ur liver is...!!! u need to shrink ur liver and liquid diet is the way to do that......i have heard of surgeons who after they open u up and see that ur liver has not shrunk, will not continue the surgery if ur liver is still too fatty....do u really want to take that chance? in the early days of my diet i ate tomato soup (no chunks) for dinner and added a few spoon full of french fried onions , the ones u put on thanks giving green bean casserole, it helped a lot to fool my mind into thinking i ate a meal.....but i only did that twice early one.....i left off the onions later..... people here have different diets, some allow some foods and others none.....mine only allowed protein shakes, water and broth and i got permission for the tomato soup thinned with water.....u can not go by other people's diets......

getting sleeved today, reporting in at 6 am.......scared, happy, hungry, excited, cant sleep...lol...cross ur fingers and toes for me.....and im turning 47 today..but no cake for me lol.......well send happy thoughts and prayers my way...see u on the other side........

August 2 here...fast approaching and it will be my birthday yay.....

AUGUST!!! 1 2 Tipsynoodle and my birthday ! 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 KristeyK 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

im thinking if the liquid diet gets too much...12 weeks is a long time....i would just eat shakes,,veggies and no Carbs but add meat (protein) with it.. Otherwise u may fall of the wagon again

Im August 2nd also and that's my birthday at that lol......im staying busy by cleaning my house......one room at a time spring cleaning lol......helps with the hunger too.....

This is just to make some of you pre op ladies and gents aware of the dangers of meds and or issues u may come across...... I was scheduled for vsg surgery for the 26th july but two weeks ago when my blood test came back, they found i had the Hpylori stomach virus.....No big deal, get the Helidac Therapy antibiotic treatment for two weeks and all is right with the world......well didn't quite work out that way.....on day 7 of the treatment I went into a seizure at night and was rushed into the hospital......come to find out the medicine caused the seizure (and it clearly states in the booklet that it can cause seizures but u trust what ur doc gives you right?) I spent 2 days in the hospital, was put on seizure meds for the forseable future, lost my driving privilege for 6 months (state law for seizure patients , depending where u live can be 1 year) and lost my surgery date........I have never had a seizure in my life nor in my family......if u happen to come down with that virus, and it is a very common virus....8 out of 10 people have it and don't know it.....get a different prescription than the helidac therapy......it contains FLAGYL which causes seizures.....there are many who took it and had no ill effects, but u never know.....hell i didn't........at least u know u have a choice to ask for something different-----something not containing Flagyl.... the only good thing is that the 7 days were enough to kill the virus for me and i was re scheduled for surgery on my birthday...august 2nd.....YAY.....but damn i miss driving my 300C.. lol
