    Questions...

    So im having a rough day. I was hoping yall could give me some advise. This is a copy of the email i sent to my NUT today. Hi! Just wanted to touch base and ask a few questions. I'm not feeling very good and I know it's my fault so I wanted to know any tricks you can share. I know I'm not getting my carbs/protein in for the day. It's not for lack of trying. But I have a very weird relationship with food...I basically hate it. Nothing taste good and I'm rarely hungry. I'm thirsty ALL the time so I sip on a Protein drink or flavored Water through the day. When I eat I try and eat slow and only put 1/2 a cup or less in my baby plate with my baby spoon but I feel no matter what or how much I eat I feel sick and only take a few bites. I haven't cheated on anything. No caffeine no soda no dessert. Per my scale today I am 243.1 from 262. My surgery date was march 18th. I went back to work yesterday light duty which was fine but felt crappy all night and today. Anything you could recommend would be great. Thank you Kacy Fire away fellow march sleeved friends and thank you ahead of time.

    Questions...

    Update: I got worse and md sent me to the ER. I was there 3 nights and 4 days. I got pain and nausea meds and LOTS of fluid. I got to go home Sunday . However, it's been tough. Everything tastes gross no matter how/what it is or how it's prepared. I have already lost the weight they have me in fluid. Thank you everyone...XOXOXOXO

    Questions plz

    I say it's my fault bc if I talk to people about how im feeling I get "you did this to yourself". My husband is very sympathetic however I know he's thinking he was right and I shouldn't had this drastic surgery. I am still happy I did this and I know I'll cross this hurdle in time but for right now it sucks! Thanks everyone! Hugs!!!!

    Questions...

    Maybe, I'm on puréed foods but I often just have the protein soup broth. But last night I swallowed a bite of protein chicken noodle and immediately threw it back up. :sigh: I feel so weak. My muscles hurt and I get short of breath doing simple tasks (like I gave my 4yr old a shower and after I washed him I had to sit down bc I was out of breath and dizzy. This is a new symptom.) I knew it was going to be hard but I didn't realize how hard and food is gross and hurts my stomach. Thanks for responding. I'm looking forward to soft foods I'm hoping ill have more options that my stomach will like. And I want caffeine and maybe some plain mashed potatoes. Lol

    Questions plz

    Thank y'all! : )
  10. Hello fellow sleevers! I was wondering if you could give me some advice on a few things? 1st I was sleeved on the 18th of march. Just switched over to purée foods on Tuesday. I don't eat much ... Naturally. However, I can tell when I've had enough to eat. Sometimes it's one or two bites then maybe it's more and when that happens I feel sick for awhile and feel like throwing up. I can't find a happy medium. Any suggestions? (I eat on a small plate with a baby spoon but I still have the mentality I should clean my plate ) 2nd I HATE HATE HATE Water. I drink decaf tea with Splenda, Protein hot chocolate, and crystal light but I'm missing the fizz or bubbly aspect of my diet coke or diet dr pepper. Does anyone know how to trick myself and stop craving them? My husband came upstairs with a coke and Girl Scout Cookies and I thought I was going to kill him. (He is actually very supportive he was trying to sneak some time with me while the kids were playing. Lol 3rd it's ice cream stand season and previously we'd go on a nice night for a family treat. I want to still participate with the "family ice cream social" but I'm not sure. They have sugar free/fat free yogurt would a kids bowl be ok to have with them or would that mess up my stomach and weightloss? Thanks everybody. And on a different note I found Crush grape and orange (the soda drink people) made a liquid to put in water. The whole family tried grape and it was really good. Taste like the soda drink without the fiz. On the losing side, Kc

    Need help/motivation

    Thank you everyone!!!! Xoxoxo
  12. I had my sleeve done 3-18 and have kept to my sugar free liquid diet. I've done stuff around the house walked to the mailbox (we have a prvt driveway) stuff like that. I have my 1 week apt withe the. NUT on Tuesday. I started at 262 and today 256. What am I doing wrong!? Why isn't the weight coming off? Also, I haven't had a bowel movement since before the surgery. Is this normal? I really need some guidance. Thank you Kacy
  13. I wanted to know if we are allowed surface free sherbet with a little bit of Oj. My mouth is so dry and my throat is killing me. Can anyone help solve my mystery? Thanks a bunch. Kc

    Liquid diet post op phase

    Ok, will stir clear! Thanks
  15. Hello fellow sleevers. I am very frustrated this morning. Here are my numbers this far... 262 (pre op day 1) 259.3 (preop day 2 258 (pre-op day 3) 256.4 (preop day 4) 256.4 (preop day 5) 257 (post op day 4) b I have been so good and have not cheated (even when the hubby came home with a milkshake! I didn't cheat I just had many thoughts about what I wanted to do with that shake. Lol). I guess I'm confused as to why I'm not losing any suggestions !!!

    Pain

    I was sleeved yesterday. So far I can't keep anything. The gas pain is horrible and I can't take a deep breath. I just call the dr he is sending new meds since I can't hold down the Vicodin. We I get up and walk I get really dizzy and nauseous. Anyone have any tricks to help me please!?! Thank you

    Pain

    The dr changed my Vicodin to a pain patch and gave me zofran to take for the nausea. When I get up I'm really dizzy and increasing nauseous. I've only used one gas strip today. Ill use it again shorty. I'm just glad my hubby stayed how to take care of me. He's the greatest
  19. My surgery is today in two hours....I'm so nervous!!! Thoughts and prayers please fellow sleeves :)
  20. I have uhc and am finished with my 6 month dr diet and then they asked me for a 5 yr history which puts me below the qualifying bmi with 1 comorbitity. I'm so frustrated as to why they didn't tell me 8 months ago when I talked to the nurse from uhc. Venting. Sorry.

    Preop diet

    I'm getting sleeved on march 18th and today is the first real day of my pre-op diet. I'm really excited but I am STARVING! Does anyone have any suggestions or "free" food that is filling? Thanks y'all.

    Preop diet

    Ok, so I cheated...a little. Last night I had a small salad and a small piece of plain baked chicken. I was feeling so crappy. It got me through the night. Hope I didn't mess up completely. Surgery is Monday.

    United health care feustration

    Preop diet

    Pre-op diet day 2... I have up caffeine and my head is killing me! I thought I'd better do it now than have more problems post op. I don't think I ate enough yesterday. I'm going to force myself to eat a little more today...my dinner soup was amazing because I was so hungry!
