Watching Ppl Eat Is Gross
mynewbegining2 replied to erin00glen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know what you mean. I went to lunch with co workers a couple of days ago. I ordered chicken Soup. I could only sip a few spoonfuls of the broth. But in between I was watching everyone eat. I dont know if I was jealous because I couldnt drink and eat, but it was like eating with a pac of wolves. And I was overwelmed and couldnt sip anymore of the soup. I starting thinking OMG did I used to look like that ? -

Carnie Wilson - 2Nd Wls - Gastric Bypass To Lapband? Huh?
mynewbegining2 replied to former_vbg's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thats true, she does have the money to get a skilled surgeon to perform the DS. I wonder if she knows about the DS ? Seems like the DS would be a better option then the lap band. Who knows with these celeberties -

Carnie Wilson - 2Nd Wls - Gastric Bypass To Lapband? Huh?
mynewbegining2 replied to former_vbg's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I meet a lady that had her surgery when I did. And she had the bypass 7 years before and was there getting the lap band. Maybe the DS and VSG is not a option for previous bypass patients ? Im not sure ? -
Wk#3 Trouble With H2O Intake
mynewbegining2 commented on MsMashOutFat's blog entry in MsMashOutFat's Blog
It is hard to get the water in for some reason. As weeks go by, you will get it in. i am 3 weeks out and I still can only get about 16 oz of fluids in a day. Pre surgery I used to drink a little under a gallon of water a day. I think I get discouraged because i cant drink it, like I want to. Sip, stop,sip stop,sip wait 30 min for that to go down and then start back up again. That sucks -
Anyone Gone To Mexico Alone For Surgery?
mynewbegining2 replied to NJsharon's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I had surgery with Dr Garcia and I went alone. I felt safe. I went straight to the hospital and then to the hotel. I did not go outside the hotel. I just walk the halls and relaxed. -

What Do I Tell My Employer For Time Off? Want To Keep My Privacy
mynewbegining2 replied to ursiboo72's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didnt even want anyone to know I was having any kind of surgery. I took 12 vacation days. I just said I was going to paint the house and I was going to San Diego for a couple of days. I didnt lie, I am painting the house (well not me but a family memeber) And I did go to San Diego. Thank goodness I didnt say I was getting my gall bladder removed. When I was dehydrated, ER did 2 MRI and said I had gallstones and my gall bladder needed removing Also said I had a small hernia. -
Need Help Choosing What To Eat At A Restaurant - Specific Examples
mynewbegining2 replied to GonnaLoseIt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have a good nite out with your husband and good luck on the 5k. -
I was a light headed, very weak and my mouth was dry. But after 4 bags of fluids in the ER I felt much better. I know for sure, im no to to 64 oz yet. Seems like you are doing good if you have got 18oz so early on the day. I may be getting in 30 oz per day. I should measure it.

I had the same problem. I had my surgery on Feb 24th and everytime I took a sip of liquid it hurt at the begining and when it hit the pouch. Long story short, I ended up in the ER with dehydration. 12 days post op, I was finally able to sip with no pain. I am just now able to eat creamy broth with minimum pain. I guess it takes time for the swelling to go down. Good luck.

Surgery Yesterday W/dr. Almanza
mynewbegining2 replied to ShannonH's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
When you get home ask your Dr for some liquid pain medication. I took some with me, but I didnt need it. But since I have been home I take some just before bed. I have this one incision that just wont let up. And congrats on your surgery. -
Kudo's for your 100lb pre surgery weight loss. I understand what you mean about getting tried after something as little as taking a shower. Take it slow and rest when needed. Congrats on your surgery and new begining.
