    OMG

    You must walk, on my first day of surgery the nurses came in and woke us up every two hours to make us walk regardless what god awful time it was even in the middle of the night. push yourself to walk. Awe I feel bad for you it must hurt . I didnt have it bad at all but im limping around like a 90 year old I wound up with a blood clot in my leg so we all get something. I hope you feel better soon.

  3. Hi, Wow thats some impressive lineup and I wouldnt mind being you till December minus all the jetlag. My friend , I think you answered your own question before by bringing protein shakes and bars to substitute for those rich breakfasts and lunches and even though your a foodie, keep it clean as clean as you can for dinner. stick with proteins veggies and fruits for dinner . What else can you bring that wont go bad besides the pb? Oh and btw good luck in Paris the food there is oh so good. lol
  4. Did you get sleeved in Mexico if so go back to the hospital and see the surgeon before you leave I would.

    Head Hunger - Advice from Vets

    My answer is the dog . When I feel the pang to stop I immediately stop eating walk over to my gavon dogs bowl who will eat 24/7 , and dump my food in his dish, there problem solved . I cant force myself to eat the rest and hes more than happy to help me out. lol Good luck to you.
  13. Oh man, I would call the doctor just to play it safe. I would do it sooner than later in case it shouldnt be there you wouldnt want to deal with an infection.

    Swimming.

    No darling, I went for my one week post op today, and begged and pleaded because I have a pool and Im not working yeay took time off to recoup, its just my son and I all day, me melting watching him have fun with his little friends and they said absolutely no swimming for three more weeks ughhh. Hope that helps.
  15. Normally I would say its an easy decision if it will help you in the long run, but, you pose some good points and as a mother I get where you are coming from. That kind of sucks you are caught between a rock and a hard place. But on the flip side you want to be healthy to care for your daughter and to be here for her right? So its all on you. Whatever decision you can live with is the one you should go with. I wish you all the best and hope you have an easy time with this.

    Undiagnosed sleep apnea

    Hmmmm I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, given that god awful cpap thing to wear . Nope it didnt happen never wore it never got used to it. But, I had my surgery and thank god I am ok. Good luck to you.
  17. I stayed an extra day in hospital because I could not get past liquids without nausea . When I got the wave they put an alcohol prep near my nose , kind of squashed the feeling imidiately and gave me zofran iv push and out it went. But in the hospital they told me if I needed I could take a script home with me for the zofran so I am sure its available in pill form, call your syrgeon you shouldnt have to suffer like this. And by some alcohol preps they work wonders. Good luck to you I hope your better soon.
  18. I dont know what your habits were like before the surgery, but I agree you should let someone know. If one of our kids have problems going we usually make them broccoli or broccoli rabe with some olive oil in it it works like magik. lol I guess you can make the broccoli in food processor like a mashed potato consitancy add some oil and see how it works for you , just to lube everything up and get things moving for you. I hope you find relief soon,

    Meats

    I was told pureed foods now but the other night I tried ground beef as it was already broken in little pieces it went down ok, no I couldnt have alot of it but It tasted so good with some fat free sour cream and home made guacamole omg that tasted amazing looked gross and mushy but I wished I could have eaten more. lol

    POP?!

    Hi I was told no carbonated drinks EVER. If I absolutely needed, drink it totally flat. As for straws I was told not to use them now but going for my new habitual drink large decaf coffee light with skim milk and a sweetner, It comes with a straw and I use it. I try to be careful and not suck down air so far so good. Good luck to you and your soda, I hope you find something that works for you. As I did with my coffee I now drink one caffenated for breakfast the rest decaf and lots of ice for fluid.
