I am def a food addict. I think about food all the time! I was sleeved 10 days ago and it's been hard. A few family events with lots of my fav food. I tried a small pretzle and that made me puke. I plan on making sure every bite I will put in my mouth is worth every calorie. I also know if I eat crap I will lose my hair and I dont have much of that to begin with so. I had a bad post op experience and keep telling all this pain and misery has to be for something and I will never go back to the way I was

If you had surgery in Mexico but live in the states I would still go to a hospital near you that has a bariatric surgeon. They will be able to treat you. For the rest of our lives if we need a nasogastric tube it needs to be placed by a bariatric surgeon. Also most complications are dehydration and minor other things not leakage so hospital staff can handle that.

Get steri strips from the store and one of the cleaning sprays. Peroxide kills healthy tissue too and will cause it to scar worse.

Does any body have an issue with every time they drink they get a big gas bubble and have to burp/ hip up like 3 times. It's making it hard for me to get all my fluids and I ended up on an iv today! I need help

I am 8 days post op and went to the dr feeling week. Turns out I'm severely dehydrated! They gave me 3 l of fluid and I still havent peed! I had no clue I was that behind. You may want to call the dr and get some fluid

I think it depends on your job. I took 3 weeks off but I work In a hospital and am on the go for 12 hours a day, so I felt I need as much time as my dr would give me. If I worked 9-5 in an office I prob could go back after 1.5-2 weeks

Being depressed is normal your hormones and all out of wack! I'm 6 days post op and woke up to my first period in 5 years( my birth control stopped it). I wanted to cry because i get horrible cramps! So just keep in mind your body had been through a **** ton and your hormones don't know which end is up

I'm mixing everything with water right now and just sipping normally no straw. I'm really trying to follow my post op diet but the amt of fluid just seams impossible

So today I start my proteins shakes, and it's the drink and shake wait an hour then get 16 oz in 2 hours and then back to another shake. My belly doesn't fit that much in that quick. Im still getting bad gas when I drink and discomfort. Any ideas on how to make it better? I had to walk the entire time I was drinking my shake to get it to go down!

I would almost welcome diarrhea to flush everything out. My stomach feels like I drank a bottle of acid!

Did you take it this close to your surgery? I don't know if that is safe so early on and with it being a holiday weekend I can't call till Tuesday

I am still on the juice part of the diet and I've drank nothing but apple juice and cranberry but nothing

I am 4 days post op. when did everyone start to have bowl movement? I get the urge to go but nothing happens. I just want it over with because I think it will make me feel better

I was sleeved on the 28th. Finally I got some relief last night but my belly is still distended. I walk every hour and take gas ex. And I set an alarm on my phone for every 10 mins to remind me to sip or every commercial on tv.
