AKSleever - that is a NSV - Non-scale Victory!!!! You are now in Onderland - many people have waited years to be where you are now - enjoy! keep it up!

Almost nothing - I was having surgery about 20 minutes away from my house, so I took my phone and laptop (for waiting in case they shuffeld me around) toothpaste, a mouthspray that simulates saliva because I couldnt drink for awhile, pillow and my blankie...hmmm...robe. they provided socks, someone combed my hair but I think I recall forgetting my comb the first day...when it became obvious I would not be leaving the second day hubby brought my groming supplies for the shower, etc. On the way home no coat was needed - but I wore a hoodie and sweats, oh yes CHAPSTICK, lol - this is to the best of my recollection - but I knew I had my hubby, and about (it seemed like) half of Houston waiting to help out, should I need something. This list is MUCH different than my first list - this was post-conversation with a hospital surgical liason - which showed me the room I would prep in - or one like it, the gown, socks, lotion and more they prefered I use - so as they went down the list, my take with lessened.

You say you know, but yet you keep getting in wayyyy to little...yos hould work on that! All of our "I know I shouldn't but" or "I know I should but" - these are things you need to address as you lose weight - hopefully a good counselor explained the importance of observing the word "but" in your discussing habits and actions and feelings re: to WLS. If not - replace your counselor and find a better one. Eat more, protien first...exercize, and you will lose - and do the tight tshirt thing - you will see ti get lose even in a stall...yo uwill lose inches, even in a stall.

If you like the app be sure to look at ti online, much easier to negotiate on a regular PC! And welcome!

I fit what I think it is, once i burped I was fine...also I dissolved tums sugar free tabs successfully after about 2 weeks out, and before that tums strips. It helped, but you will still feel it for awhile - going by my experiences.

May your journey be as easy as He sees it to be, and you work to accomplish. He gives love and understanding, we provide ourselves with the rest...

Yes there can be issues, and you can possibly even die - You really need to discuss this frankly with your doctor, read the forum (search "help" "regret" and other key words. Strike up personal conversations with people who have mentioned issues - they tend to be more open on a personal level, its just human nature. I had complications and would be glad to discuss them and how I think they came about...messge me if you are interested. I am NOT being negative and you probably won't have any or severe or long term...but we all deserve to understand, this is abdominal surgery! They are cutting out your stomach - you really, really need to be prepared. If you are not, however, it is no one elses fault. I did 95% of my research on my own, and I am no internet guru!

get a timer and make yourself UNLESS there is actual pain, but small amounts, sipped, and in intervals...you really need your liquids. Congrats!

Yes what do you mean "eat" there should be no solid foods this early - or pureed, or even thick liquids. That is, frankly, regardless of anything a doctor says...

Where at in TX, may I ask?

http://www.livestrong.com/blog/recapture-your-athletic-best/ I saw this on livestrong, maybe it would be of interest to some of us.

Check from the company? Can you explain?

Are you planning to stay on a puree/mushie stage till 2014? it is doable to be sure, I know at least 2 chemo patients that have had to do this. Soft food diet, I mean.

You would not have to go back there - but check and see wha tyou will pay (you have to have follow ups somewhere) out of pocket to cover office visits once you are home - it might make going local more reasonable. NO experience with Mexico, but I would not.

You sleep ALL DAY if you need to - that is your body telling you to take it easy, and you should listen. you never know when you will need your reserves and if you have already exhausted them you can be in trouble. I know.

Sending you bright green energy!!! Take some time and meditate and SEE yourself getting the surgery...go inside and imagine your body creating your blood platelets and try aligning your chi. Try "you tube" for meditation and breathing examples.

msYoYo your name says it all - and I am so happy for you that you are doing well. Namaste!!!

Stomach cancer, stomach tumors and cycts, septic conditions, ulcers (extreme but done), abdominal injury, piercing wounds, and more...alien abductions - oh wait that is anal probes... Yes, stomach surgery has decades of history.

You and your WLS family members will not be able to eat much, so I would not make food the focus...consider making it lighter choices all around. In my opinion you should not be worried about food for anyone but yourself at this stage. Baked cauliflour, boudin sausage without the rice, Soups, and fruit are all good. Consider seafoods and tuna and egg salad - but keep them moist with an evoo mayo. Zuchinni and squash and onions, etc grilled just fall apart, and are good with talapia, dolphin, trout and salmon. Cerveche minus tomatoes would be something I would try, should I care for it, but I dislike the onions.

I would say try a tums strip for the acid, keep gettin your Water in - maybe a small tsp. of evoo to prevent further upset, and let's assume you would be better off crushing your pills. Thing is you may have irritated your tummy, which involves not just acid production but inflammation in the lining of your tummy - you tummy is a part of a huge system of nerves, and they do the strangest, damndest things! Including external facia and lining swelling - "sympathy" swelling - you can get this in the bowels too! the gut is a complex, wonderful thing.

PLEASE, when you have time, make a detailed record of your process, and any papers you had to write and add them to the forum - we get people all the time who need information on how to get through the appeal process. Congrats!

It is possible to experience this - get with your doctor and have a prescription on hand and filled and waiting on you at home...also consider the patches for motion sickness, I spoke to a lady who used those and it worked for her.

is it external or internal and where?
