    3 weeks post op

    simplyblessed replied to vinnie1717's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am 3 weeks also. Couldn't stand protein drinks so I have been drinking milk and eating canned shredded chicken with cheese or tuna salad. Haven't gotten my protein in but I don't feel bad. I do have a lack of energy tho.

    Protein

    simplyblessed posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am 6 days post opt. And I'm having trouble getting protein in. I'm perfectly fine with liquids. I can drink no problem. I just can't find any protein shakes that I can drink. I have tried Syntrax Fuzzy Navel and it was grainy, the chocolate truffle was to sweet, and then I tried Unjury Vanilla and it was also to sweet. Any suggestions?!?

    I have been getting most of my protein from drinking milk, can't stomach the protein drinks either!

    Lifting

    simplyblessed posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am almost 2 weeks post opt, when can I start lifting a baby? He is only 20lbs but wasn't sure when I could, DR didn't tell me at my pre opt

    I had surgery the 11th and I have the same issue with feeling gurgling in my stomach. Mine does it with anything I drink :/ weird! But I can do water I just like it cold!

    What "musts"should I purchases pre op?

    simplyblessed replied to Countrygrrl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    A heated blanket/pad was my favorite thing the heat made my stomach feel so much better I also think it helped with gas pains!

    How do you like the Syntrax unflavored? I have it but can't seem to mask the taste!

    My favorite thing I brought to the hospital was a heated blanket (heating pad). Helps with pain

    simplyblessed replied to get2chris's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I had really bad nausea my first day but they gave me a iv of nausea meds and then I felt great.

    Slippers for you to walk around, a pillow for the ride home to cover your stomach, and mouthwash because your mouth is dry after and you can't drink. My favorite thing I brought was a heated blanket, it felt so good on my tummy!

    Optifast

    simplyblessed replied to skypark86's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Don't pour hot water into the soup, pour warm water and then re heat. So sorry about the optifast my DR required it too for my pre opt. The soup is best with added spices.

    I had surgery 12/11, discharged on 12/12. I have a question about sipping. I know in the hospital it was 1 once every 15 minutes. How long does that last? I'm having a hard time sipping and drinking my 1 ounce normally. I have been drinking about 2 ounces every 15 minutes and I don't know if that's bad or ok. And don't know how long I need to sip rather than drink normally (not gulp). Thanks

    Surgery tomorrow

    I haven't had trouble sleeping until last night. I finally found that it was easier to sleep on my right side. My back has hurt from the hospital bed. I also feel like I'm going to pop a stitch when I raise up out of bed
  21. simplyblessed
    I slipped a couple times and even 2 days before my surgery. The pre opt diet was hard for me. But don't beat yourself up everything is ok!
  22. simplyblessed
    I had surgery the same day! I'm having a hard time sipping I just want to drink normal!!

    Good luck!

    I am 4 day post opt. Had a cycle that ended a week before surgery and just today started again. I was told it was because of all the blood thinners I was given during my hospital stay. But not sure, I was confused also

    Post-Op Fatigue

    simplyblessed replied to KylieD87's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am 3 days post opt. And I went to Walmart and walked around today. Idk if I could have gone to a game because as soon as I got in the car I was ready for a nap. But everyone is different so do what you feel is best
