    Is this normal?

    MissKit replied to Keshajo1's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Ahh yes I have the same thing! Nexium takes the edge off better than the prilocect I was originally given however it doesn't take it totally my a way. I have yet to find something to help totally. Even eating slow and small amounts tracking what types of food I eat yada yada isn't helping. I'm hoping it gets to a point where it tapers off or stops

    Swimming incision question!?

    MissKit replied to alindsey's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I was allowed to swim at 4 weeks. Some redness is normal just be sure it is not excessive, do a good check of all the incisions.

    P.S. The liquid diet is not as bad as it sounds. Try a couple of flavos of Protein powder and drink plenty of Water. If you are allowed one meal under 300 calories that is also a help make sure you check with your Dr. about the one meal, some allow it and some don't .

    Congrats Bill!! I believe this surgery is one of the best things that I have done. This support group has been a HUGE tool for me, we have an amazing group of people here!! As far as getting the Water in, it is really important but I can tell you there is a good chance like me and so many others, you will have to work yourself up to the needed amount. Each day will get better and soon you will be able to drink with ease. Your going to do great! Stay positive! Good Luck!!!!

    i think i have bulimia

    MissKit replied to RNmama8413's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Hey Mama, Just as Marce had said you should head to phycologist asap. The fact that you are realizing this is huge and takes a lot to admit the issue. Also like Marce's doctor, my doctor has also said that most of what people say about stretching your stomach is not totally accurate, but that we should eat a healthy diet. You will get back on track be positive!

    Hey Hunny, Like the other posts said, sip sip, and you guessed it sip! I remember thinking I was going to be like this forever and felt upset and frustrated! I know it sounds cliché but each day really does get better! Do what you can, don't force yourself, trust what your body is saying.

    Clumps!

    MissKit replied to NewNewMe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I know I'm repeating everything you know but make sure you take your vitamins & extra calcium. I also started taking biotin and using Nixon shampoo and conditioner to help. http://www.nioxin.com/en-EN/

      Hi Kit!

      I see you have recently had your sugery and I can relate, but I caution you to becareful. I was sleeved on Oct 8th and I remember eating just a few bites of bread on Halloween and few weeks later...it was Hawaiian Bread with spinanch dip and it was delicious, BUT it was also super painful once it hit my stomach. I was not ready and I just can not forget that feeling...it keeps be so far away from bread these days - which is a good thing, I guess. You will heal and you will be able to expand your diet...it takes time.

      Hang in there, it gets better faster than you think. I had a hard time remembering that this is pretty major surgery, that takes time to heal and I make some mistakes during my recovery. Thankfully nothing major but I did overdo it a bit a few times.

       

      Good Luck!

      Thanks Jami!

      I know that I have to take it slow but that doesn't mean I'm not sick of the same handful of things lol. It will be worth it in the end =]

    Wanting the stomach cramps when drinking to GO AWAY!

      Try drinking slower and/or adjust the temperature of your water. Some tummies prefer ice cold, some hot, some room temperature.

      Thank you for the comment! I drink slow and throughout the day and have tried a number of temps but nothing seems to work, I guess just time.

      Sometimes it's just a matter of the new tummy healing. If it persists, or gets worse, contact your doctor to make sure nothing else is going on.

    Hey Tina! Congrats on being post op! I am also post op 7 days! How are you feeling?
  23. MissKit
    These people should undergo some sort of job training since it seems that so many people in hospital/doctor settings have NO idea how to work with patients, especially when your talking about a huge decision like WLS. Stay Strong!!

    You guys are BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thanks for sharing all the inspiration!

      jane13

      try using a timer and figure how much up need to skip to finish a particular container. I use the ride to work(45 min) and relatives at 8, 11 and before I go home as markers.

      jane13

      don't know how "relative" got into msg. should have been "breaks"
