I am having a really hard time with food my surgery date was dec 17th and I was on iv nutrition for 3 wks post op , two weeks into it I started to do liquids than softs, than I was told to start advancing, I find one day , foods agree with me other days they do not , does not matter if I chew slowly or not , Beans had been my friend and today I hit a wall with them also with chicken Soup? anyone else have that problem? my fear is I'm going to train my tummy to eat the same three things over and over !

I have never crushed my meds, take one at a time, have talked to pcp about switching what I could and take minis where I can, chewable, otherwise they do cause a stomach ache and I have been dealing with it, luckily no dumping or other complications crossing my fingers, but so many pills suck!

Have an appt with the surgeon today hopefully will get some answers, I agree, we should post about the good the bad, the success, so people are aware of every thing that can happen! everyone needs to be proactive when making a decision to have this surgery and have all information available. Thank you everyone for listening and for the support it means so much!

update, went to the er on Sat had an abcess under the incision next to the jp drain , had to get it cut open and drained! having antibiotics twice a day at home still being fed through a picc line, and I have a leak, everything I ingest goes straight to my jp drain, , I have to have my incisions cleaned, packed, and dressed 4 times a day ! The pain is unbearable when not on meds, showers are almost impossible though they feel so good, I just want some sense of normalcy, at least I am home finally but feel like such a burden to my mom and partner right now as they help me with my tube feeding, wound care, meds, showers, changing when the nurse is not there geez .

Thank you all for the support and kind words, trying to find the positive in this is so hard , I am sure lots of people have set backs, but I took a whole year to research and make a final decision, have been sick for almost 3 with an auto immune disorder that affects my joints so I'm desperately trying to find some relief any at this point I would take, not add too ! I am waiting for the one day I wake up and find some relief....... Thank you all for listening I appreciate it

Hi every one, today sunday I start day two Clear Liquids only,my gosh yesterday was hard! I'm light headed, hungry, and the broth and sugar free Jello, sugar free juice is making me naseoues! Its like drinking Water with very little flavoring, enough to makeyou sick... I have surgery mon so I just need to push through tomorrow any suggestions? I breezed through the Protein Shake liquid diet, but this clear liquid over sucks for a lack of better terms!

Fly on an air plane with out fear of being kicked off or made pay another ticket.

Not Pay double for my clothing just because it's plus size.

Go to an amusement park and ride every thing

Go rafting again

Wear heels , dress shoes

Preserve my joints from further destruction due to my auto immune disorder and weight

Not be sweaty all the time

Feel comfortable in my own skin

Feel healthy!

Thank you every one for your feed back, I just spoke to my surgeon and switched to RNY we are set for MON I'm so nervous , scared, but excited, ready for a change and to be active and a normal , fully mobile 32 year old again. Any pressure off my joints would be heaven.. Good luck to those waiting on approval and much continued success for those post op!

Hello every one I am new here surgery scheduled for mon dec 17 originally set for the gvs due to a rhumatoid auto immune disorder and the meds I take, but decided to be more aggressive with the weight loss and reversal of the comorbidities, anyone on here had the sleeve and now full bypass or change their mind at last min like me? How are you for fairing? I feel a bit un prepared as I have prepared for sleeve post op, now I feel like I may be missing something to help me heal

Thanks
