    March Sleevers

    I started my 2 week diet on Sunday. I get nothing but bariatric advantage shakes 5 times a day. I have been making grilled chicken for my family so I have had 1 breast over the last 2 days. I feel bad but I have been having the worst heartburn and BAD tummy issues. Let's just say my husband is waiting for the cloud to dissipate as I am writing this. My stomach sounds like there is an alien in it. My head is pounding.. I know it's the low carb-ness kicking in cause I had it when I was doing Atkins but jeeze. I could eat then lol. Gotta keep thinking it's the poison leaving my body. My skin is breaking out too. I'm pretty cranky right now. Drove around town before and was craving McDonald's. I Hate McDonald's! I haven't eaten at mcds in 2 yrs but the little alien is telling me yeah, yeah yeah. Little bastard.

    Yes I believe so. I got mine at the vitamin Shoppe but I'm pretty sure gnc has it too. I got the vanilla cause you can add extract abd fruits to change it up

    I spent 400. But after I get thru the first 6 weeks I can take regular otc bariatric vitamins. But they are still getting money from Bariatric Advantage cause they push that crap like it cures everything. I like the Quest protein shakes better

    Confused on making this decision or not.

    I have always been fluffy but active then I started with back issues after an accident. My insurance didn't cover it so I shelved the idea again. Then I blew out my knees first one then the other. Finally my brother died at 62 and it freaked me out the thought of dying in 11 yrs. And the insurance now covers it so I took it as a sign. March 2nd here I come

    One year in ... how did i fail?

    Check with the hospital and see where the rest of his patients went. It's like using a hacksaw when you need a screwdriver If you don't get your fills. Right tool for the right job.

    Non-Morphine Pain Meds....concerns

    I have had so many surgeries c section (morphine...the after video is me dragging my hand down my face like it was melting) gal bladder (vicodin) hysterectomy(diluidid/vicodin at home) hernia(vicodin) knee replaced x 2 different surgery(dilaudid/vicodin @home for like 3 months) and I'm getting a pain pump (not sure what's going in it)vicodin( home)for my sleeve. I doubt you will have a problem unless you have had a controlled substance problem before.

    Catheters

    My doctor said no Cath unless I have a problem urinating after the surgery. Let's hope not cause if rather they put it in while I'm out cold

    March Sleevers

    I had a stomach virus over the weekend so I'm just getting the 2 weeks in. I wanted to do it longer but I was gagging. I'm doing barbaric advantage only because my dr insisted(can you say kick backs boys and girls?) But if your doctor doesn't care id rather be doing the Quest shakes. I don't care for their bars but t the shake is great. I made a latte today. Coffee and BA shake mix.

    Stomach virus

    My doctor s ofc is in the hospital so I went Thursday for my final preop visit and Friday afternoon started feeling bad I. Thought out was starting my shakes but I realize it's a stomach virus. I've been sleeping most of the day at least between bathroom trips. I haven't been able to keep much down but I ate some rice earlier and it seems to be okay. I really wanted to start my shakes early because of my bmi(50) since the doctor said it would make my liver better for surgery. Oh well I guess I'll just start tomorrow if I can.

    Scared

    I know I am a worrier too and it does suck. In two weeks you'll be telling me the same things I'm telling you. Hell yesterday was my first day of protein shakes and one meal and and I've feel like crap and have some bad diarrhea and sweats. It's 63 degrees in my house and, my night gown is soaking from the sweat. I'm just saying that working yourself up isn't helping, deep breaths and keep in contact with your doctor. He'll get it figured out. Take care sweetie. I have erratic hours so I'm around at different(weird) hours. If you need to talk.

    March Sleevers

    My date is March 2nd too I started it today I'm supposed to get 5 of these a day I can barely get 3 and, it has given me the worst gas already. Ugh. I've slept allot today. Also gave up coffee so I'm know that's not helping. But it will be better . I'll tough it out.

    Happy birthday? No, not Happy! Rant

    I'm going to be in the same place. My 2 week diet started today, tomorrow is Valentine's my anniversary is 15 days after surgery and my birthday is 26 days after surgery. I know I will be in the same boat. Happy Birthday and you know it'll get better. Just hang in there

    Skin shrinkage

    I haven't had my surgery yet but even the 20lbs, I've lost on the mandatory diet has given me a stomach rash. I get the boob rash too. Make sure y'all point out any rashes to your doctor. A lift or tuck may be medically necessary and insurance may pay for it. One can only hope lol

    Skin shrinkage

    My cousin works for a compound pharmacy that had a scar and stretch marks med. It's covered by some insurances. Pm me if you want more info
  19. My date is March 2nd in Louisville with Dr Oldham. I'm excited bit having some anxiety too. Dr Oldham ofc makes us use the Bariatric advantage products too. 2 bags of shakes and vitamins. I hope my income tax return get here soon.
  20. My Dr is okay with nsaids within reason with the sleeve but no nsaids if I got the bypass. I was told the trammadol I take is okay as well.

    Scared

    Ok immediately thinking the worst isn't helping. You need to breathe and relax. I know you are uncomfortable but getting stressed ifs just making that bile come up more. Try a clear protein drink, prop your pillows up, suck on a couple popsicles and try to relax a little. Thinking the worst doesn't help anything. You have just had a very major surgery it takes time for it to settle in.
  22. Definitely thinking about you and hoping you start feeling better.

    so frustrated

    I would be having a problem with my primary. If he is saying yes it's a good idea but then won't stand up to the insurance company then id be finding a new dr. It's better to endanger your health until you are on drugs for co morbidities which is almost certain than to get it done before your body starts to shut down. Id find a new doctor to fight for me.
