Severe Back Pain!
HardWork13 replied to ReadyNewM3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
. I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow. I've had what sounds like the same middle upper back pain! Asked dr and he wasn't sure what it was either. Could be from hernia repair, he also loosely thought gall bladder. Thinking of heading to chiropractor... -
What's Your Plan For Thanksgiving Dinner?
HardWork13 replied to gamergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Feeling pretty good about my thanksgiving food choices. Had a little hummus for appy and some turkey, carrot, and a teaspoon of mashed pots and a taste of stuffing. Far difference from the past thanksgivings. I skipped dessert too! Hope everyone else had a good day. -
I'm from central NJ, and had my surgery on 10/21 with Dr. Forrester from NJ bariatric center @ Overlook Hospital..

Popcorn Is My Only Craving! N

I too miss popcorn!! Walking into Target is the worst. All you smell is popcorn! -
surgery scheduled in two days
HardWork13 replied to pulchritude101's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was sleeved on 10/21. I was a complete case of nerves. It was all for nothing. I expected the worst. It was better than I could have imagined. Rely on your nurses after surgery. They're great. Walk as much as you can and sip some water. Good luck!! -

Whats the deal with no coffee anyhow?
HardWork13 replied to teambarbie's topic in Food and Nutrition
Almost 2 weeks out, my nut said a cup of coffee is OK as long as getting water in. I tried decaf today and have awful heartburn. Won't be doing that again anytime soon!! -
Smooth Recovery? Anyone?
HardWork13 replied to LynRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am one week out. It hasn't been nearly as bad as I thought it would have been. My pain was minimal in the hospital, also maybe a 4. It was sore getting in and out of bed for about the first four-five days. Gas pains were easily controlled with gas-x. Walk as much as possible and drink your water & protein. I was told to take 2 weeks off work. I go back Monday. Good luck! -
October Sleevers - Who else
HardWork13 replied to clefofcividale's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
So excited. Had 1 week post op appointment today. Lost 17 lbs!! Lost 28 total including 2 week pre-op. Finishing out my 2nd week of liquids and then moving onto purees. Looking forward to something other than broth. -
10 days pre-op. Advice?
HardWork13 replied to johnblanks's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good luck! I'm only 8 days out and on my 2nd week of post op liquids. Everything has been going good. Take your time, walk as soon as you can in the hospital. It helps a lot! Sip slowly!! You'll do great. -
Good luck! You'll do great!!

3 Days post op VSG
HardWork13 replied to AriannaElizabeth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sleeved 10/21 also. Thankfully didn't experience nausea. Nurses were vigilant about anti nausea meds. Having a hard time getting all water/liquids down in addition to protein drinks. Still happy I did this too!
