GetInMyBelly

Ohhhhhh my gosh people!!! Ultrasound on the abdomen is absolute f-ing hellllllllllllll!!!! Esp when your belly hurts!! Oh well at least I did it. Hopefully I'm ok. Take pain med b4 going , I did not. Hugs.

Get well soon!! Sinus infections r no fun!! Well sleeve pals, I learned a good lesson this morning.... My dr said in the morning things r more constricted there since I had Been feeling tightness n as if the Water was having trouble going down n burning my chest in mornings. This morning I underestimated that n I took a sip of h2o with pills. Then chewed three small Vitamins followed by a sip of Protein drink. First time everrrrrr I almost threw up from regurgitation pain n nausea. It was like a massssssive burp was stuck in chest n all the stuff was not going down and also as if my new sleeve was about to burst from the burning sensation. Owww!! For me this was scary because I already have acid reflux n the tension n burning was overwhelming. Please friends learn from my experience n wait a good while in the morning to 1) slowly take pills n vitamins 2) start with just small sips of h2o 3) wait a good while before starting on the Protein Drink n don't use protein drink to down chewable vitamins. Ugh. How did I stop from throwing up ? I pushed back down what had come up n took deep breaths and walked around house. I Also patted my back to burp a little. This sounds scary and awful but from what I read n read it was bound to happen eventually (the throwup tight feeling). I will also chew vitamins more spread out n a lot slower next time. The tummy n throat, etc need time to adjust after waking up n to slowly start working so hard. It's day 12. My rt side of belly hurt vert very much last night unfortunately. It was hard to sleep. I will rest today and walk more later in the day. I gotta listen to my body. I hope h r all doing great today :0) hugs. Oh Also it's exciting to see my face get skinnier.. But not my boobies :0/ lol.

I do that!! It's yummmmmy. Also try yogurt w/fresh squeezed cucumber juice (no seeds of course).

Hi!! Yeah for u!!! I live in OC, too n my surgery was done in Orange, as well. Hugs! Good luck today n I'll b thinking of u. Let is know please how u r!!! :0)

U r very sweet and I'm so happy my thread is helping u. More importantly, yeahhhhh for your date being set! Before u know it it'll b time for your surgery!! :0) I'm very happy for you and I hope you are having a great week!!!! Keep us posted please. Hugs!!!

My rt side is hurting bad mainly at night every night. Tylenol not helping. Wish my dr would give pain meds. Kinda upset they didn't call In the ultrasound order in yet either. On a positive note, I can sleep now on my left side but not for too long. But it's a start. And I walked a lottt today n cleaned my hm n went up n down my third floor home over 5 times today n walked the dog :0) I still need to up my water intake!!!!!

Weightloss since preop diet to date (11days post op).

Definately! I too luckily have had only right side nighttime pains n no vomiting. If we listen to the doctors it goes smoothly I believe. I was happy to see my weight drop, too. I'm glad u r doing great n staying positive!! Thanks for sharing :0)

So I just saw my surgeon at the follow up and all seems ok. I will check in an ultrasound why my right side hurts. I need to get in 1.5 protein drink a day in addition to my 8oz of fat free yogurt. I need between 60-90 gr of protein. I drink premeir shakes from Costco. Two snacks a day r ok too of a Popsicle or jello. In 5 days I start pureed foods. I could've lost more weight if I had upped my protein more these past two wks. My stitches look good. N I'm doing a blood test n ultrasound to check everything n such things as gallstones. Doubt I have that though the surgeon says. He says everyone feels pain in a different place (ex: feet, stomach, ...) I feel better after this checkup and will go back in three wks. :0)

I like this thread n believe we can all relate and benefit from it . ;0)

U guys f all drinking soups but where's the protein coming from?

Me too

Me too . ideas?? And R mushies the same as full liquids?

Helpful topic

So is that when u really began to adapt and change your habits? Is that when u really began dropping weight?? I'm having the same major concern on this thread topic

U r very right I think! I get 30-40 max in a day of protein grams. Tomorrow I meet with my nutritionist n dr for post op. I will definately bring this up! I really should b doing protein drinks rather than broth but it causes gas n I felt I needed some home cooked warm soup. Thank u very much

Gosh that's great! I dunno what I did or am doing wrong, cuz w/2.5 wk preop n 1.5 wk post op I've only lost 15lbs.

I'm having three meals a day. One cup broth. Two tablespoons of fatfree yogurt with cucumber juice twice a day. Sometimes a Popsicle for snack or tiny cup of cozy shack sugar free pudding or jello. I know I need to up my water intake a lot.

? I'm on day 8 n still totally need them.major pain mainly at night. Is this normal to need it over a wk out of surgery, n what over the counter do u suggest? Thanks.

Welcome shae! How'd it go? U r on the list updated above, which was created by soon2bminimommy . :0)

It mainly hurts At night on rt side n morning.

Very true! Thank u kindly for relying on that topic. I'm Also curious what and how much of it all you sleevesters had to eat daily one wk out (liquids) I am not sure if I'm having too much. I know I can up the h2o.

Ur super duper cute !! :0) I'm glad your mom is well :0)
