    post op diet

    That weight is probably fluid. Don't worry about the scale at this point, concentrate on healing and I promise the weight will fall off!

    Feb 26 sleever

    I think it took me a week to have a bm. My doc wasn't concerned unless you feel constipated. Miralax can take a good day to do the trick!
  4. So I don't have any long sleeve shirts that really fit and I went to old navy today on my lunch break and I was able to fit in an xl!! Do you now how long I have been shopping in the plus sizes, I didn't even think anything at old navy would fit, figured if it didn't I could get my boys something. So 3 weeks out and new clothes already! My cousins that have had this surgery both told me the best part would be shopping!!!

    cramps during period seem worse!

    I have to agree that my cramps are definitely worse. Prior to surgery I didn't have much cramping during my periods but this month I thought I was going crazy, like I ate something I shouldn't have. I thought it was just me.

    December 28th surgery date.

    Msbatty I have to admit I too have the what did I get myself into thinking. I am feel better today, was actually able to drink some broth cuz I am getting sick of jello and Popsicles. I have not been able to get my protein in, I was nauseas yesterday ad the dr told me it may be from the milk based protein drinks and now I don't know what to drink cuz the water based ones taste like crap to me. I just keep praying everyday I feel a little better and better.

    December 28th surgery date.

    I was having a hard time sipping also, I think I wqs dehydrated yesterday. Saw the dr today for my drain out and went and bought a sippy cup also. I was told that was one of the best ways to keep your sips small. Just hope I start feeling better soon!!

    December 28th surgery date.

    I was sleeved on 12/28 also. I am home now. I stayed at my moms last night and thank goodness I did cuz I had a dizzy spell in her bathroom after I took a shower and I passed out for a couple minutes. I'm sure it was from being dehydrated. So everyone has been pushing me to drink, drink, drink. I am not able to get in all my fluids or protein yet bc of gas pain. Suppose to see my dr tomorrow to have my drain out. I just keep saying to myself you can do this, you can do this!!

    My surgery is tomorrow too! The nerves are really setting in now but I know this is the right decision for me!! I am waiting on a phone call to find out exactly what time I have to check in in the morning. Good luck to all the 12/28 sleevers!!

    Doctors orders

    I am scheduled to be sleeved on 12/28 , I just got my date last Thurday. At my preop MD appt I asked my doctor about sticking to the preop diet (which he only requires for a week) and he told me to do my best and enjoy my Christmas meal with my family. Well now I feel guilty, like I went overboard. I have been on Protein shakes since last Friday and today I had 2 regular meals. I dont know I just feel like I ruined my preop diet.........
