5 Weeks Out--Fatigue And "water Nausea"
kimmy*custis replied to goldenraisin214's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, lemon works great and use the crystal light, I put about one third of the normal amount in, just for a bit of flavor and it worked great. They have a lot of good flavors too, my fav is grape, reminds me of grape bubble yum from my childhood! -
Itchy Incisions
kimmy*custis replied to EmilyIsSleeved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh yes, they itched...and I had staples so no way I could actually itch them. I had the staples out after 2 weeks and the itching stopped, maybe the steel in the staples was the culprit? i used neosporin after as well, works great! -

kimmy*custis replied to Crystal Woods's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sent home with a 6 month prescription. Never had it before but I sure notice if I forget to take one! Get the rx from your doc, it is waaay cheaper if you have good insurance. ( prilosec by the way) -

Just Came Out Of Recovery!
kimmy*custis replied to soon2bslim's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yay! I am glad you are doing ok. You sound just like me, I was up walking 1 hour after getting to my room, it felt soooo good to get up. Laying there made my back hurt. I did have the dry mouth too and yes, the morphine happy button was nice! Welcome to the losers bench! -
I can take normal bites as well, no issues but I best chew it well. I can eat anything, spicy etc, sleevie doesnt have any issues with anything ...yet! She lets me know when she is full!

Bread/toast Recommendation Please!
kimmy*custis replied to bellabbr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tried the Bimbo toasted bread, double fiber and it is yummy. It is super crunchy and I use it for egg salad, tuna etc. They have another one but I havent tried that one yet. I bought it at Wal-Mart so I would think it is carried in any grocery store. -

The Scale Lies!
kimmy*custis replied to ouroborous's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You just made my day! I did the same thing! I now just weigh myself in the am, naked right before the shower ( TMI, sorry) I was amazed how much clothing weighs and yes, the liquid we are drinking is waaay more than you would think. Thanks for the post, you made me smile! -
Best of luck to you on your new journey! I can see you are ready, I was the same way, sooo excited, nervous etc but I would do it all over again in a heatbeat! I am 1 month out tomorrow and feeling fab! Keep us posted, I know you will do great with your positive attitude!

Frustrated! Eat This, Not That....
kimmy*custis replied to rohnk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am not eating that much yet but everyone is different. If I get a sharp pain I know I ate too fast or too much so maybe you are eating too much at one time. Cut it back a bit and see if that helps. I have been drinking milk since week 2 so I am sure you can. Good luck to you! BTW, I was eating eggs at 2 weeks so give it a shot. -
Never had any fatique, my energy has been amazing. Just got lucky I guess. Just keep up your protein and water and walk as much as you can, you will be amazed how quick you will feel better. Good luck!

I had a few drinks at about 2 1/2 weeks out and didnt feel any different than I would have before surgery. I had them over a course of 4-5 hours so maybe that is why. I just sipped them ( vodka/cranberry) with water as well. I dont think every once in a while will hurt but I am sure they dont want you to drink because of the empty calories like everyone else says. Your body will tell you when it doesnt like something for sure.
