Calling all October Sleevers
Dana825 replied to sleevechic8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everyone, I was sleeved on October 7th. I'm down 25lbs. :-)! Very happy and still very excited. But I am starting to become very nauseated with the thought of putting anything in my mouth. This isn't good and I'm hoping it will pass very soon. 4 days ago I couldn't tolerate my Premier shakes, I couldn't believe it. I have all flavors and they all made me nauseous. I'm 2 weeks post op today so I'm starting my puree diet. I was not able to eat my meals, 2 baby spoons was all I could consume. I am able to drink Water without becoming nauseous. I meet with my Bariatric Coordinator on Friday so I'm going to see what she recommends. Other than being nauseated I'm feeling awesome. And guys my sense of smell has intensified so much. Any small odor makes me nauseous, I can't take it. Right now I can't take the smell of my husband, it's crazy. And it's not the cologne he wears it's his body. It's so crazy to me. Anyone else experiencing the same issues? -

Nausea and Disgusted by Food
Dana825 replied to VSG_lauren's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everyone, I'm 2 weeks post op and I'm beginning to experience the same trouble. I'm not vomiting, but I become very nauseated with the thought of putting anything in my mouth. This started 4 days ago. I'm not able to get my meals in and over the past 5 days I've spent so much money on things that I can't consume. I am able to drink Water but that's about it. I'm feeling so disgusted and my energy is slowly fading because I'm not able to get in my Protein. I'm scheduled to see my Bariatric Coordinator on Friday and I can't wait. I'm also not able to take my Vitamins. I definitely don't know what to do. I started puree today and I could only eat 1 baby spoon of my meat. Guys my sense of smell has also intensified. The smallest odor to others seems huge to me and it makes me nauseous. I don't like the way my husband smells either OMG! He smells horrible to me and I don't even know how to tell him without hurting his feelings. This is so crazy to me right now. -
Hey everyone, I'm officially 14 days post op. I'm having the same troubles, about 4 days ago all my shakes started tasting very horrible to me to the point that I want to vomit. I can't tell you guys how much money I've wasted over the past 5 days trying to find something my sleeve will agree with. I am able to consume my water but nothing else not even crystal light. My sense of smell has intensified so much so that I can't take the slightest odor without me get getting nauseated. I see my Bariatric Coordinator on Friday and I can't wait. I really did not anticipate this hurdle, but I'm pushing on we can get through this together.

Dana825 replied to lmaher718's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Glad to see my fellow October sleevers on the post-op side! I'm 1 week post op as of yesterday, I'm down 18 lbs from my highest weight of 267. My surgery was on 10-07-14. Since last week I've lost 8 lbs!! I'm so happy guys, I'm kinda in disbelief. I returned to work today, I'm feeling really great. Keeping my liquids with me at all times . I'm hope everyone else is doing great. -

Roll call for Sept 30th...
Dana825 replied to TeacherMommy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No you are not alone. Like you I'm very excited and happy to start this new journey, but reality is also settling in that my life will no longer be as it was. I'm very happy about that. From living a more healthier lifestyle, relationships, sigifacant weight loss, and the mental portion of this, we have a lot to adapt to. I'm in the hospital, I'll be discharges in the morning. I've had to refuse some visitation and ignore calls because I'm not ready to answer questions and be ridiculed for my decision. -

Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!
Dana825 replied to Marielbx's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
She is awesome ! That's so true about taste, I've been dealing with nausea this afternoon. My hospital didn't offer me a broth or jello, they offered me protein shakes. We all know that protein shakes differ and there are a lot of shakes that don't agree with us. Guys I was given 3 different shakes and I couldn't drink one of them, 2 sips really hurt my stomach. Since I will be discharged in the morning I'm having my husband bring a few Premier shakes from home so I can drink them before I leave the hospital. If Premier doesn't work I have my Unjury. -

Hey everyone, so I had my leak test a couple hours ago. I thought the chalky substance was going to be awful but it wasn't that bad. It reminded me of Miralax. So I should proceed with my liquid diet this afternoon. I feel great and ready to head home. I won't be leaving the hospital until tomorrow morning. I hope everyone is doing great!

Thank you, this support group has been very beneficial to me as well. It's awesome to share my experience with everyone. I've heard very great things about Dr. Alvarez. In fact if my insurance wouldn't had covered my surgery I would have went to Dr. Alvarez. I truly wish you the best, your day is almost here. I'm getting prepared for my swallow test . -

Anyone from Raleigh, NC? Or October RYN?
Dana825 replied to NC Girl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Tammy, I went into surgery at 9:30 this morning. Everything went so well. I remember going into the operating room but I was only awake for a few minutes. I had to have a hitial hernia repair as well. When I woke up from surgery the gas pain in my chest was at a level of 5 or 6. I was given pain medication, when i got to my room from recovery I was ready to walk . I put my pajamas on and I walked and I'm no longer experiencing gas pains and that's so awesome. I've been increasing my walking time a little at a time. I'm up to 5 laps on my hospital floor. As far as resting, I've been resting pretty well. Nurses are constantly in but their awesome. I hope you are doing well. awesome! I have my chest x-ray and leak test in the morning. After that I'll start my clear liquid diet. I don't feel hungry . How are you doing? -
