I went to my checkup and of course they was going to check my a1c. They tried. It was so low that the machine couldnt read it. I'm like what? What do you mean you cant read it. What does that mean? I was sent to the lab for blood work. Im still waiting to hear from them. On the bright side, NO MORE INSULIN FOR ME, YEAH. Im so happy cause I was really tired of sticking myself.

Hi. My procedure went well on July 26th. The gas wasnt that bad. Now Im like 3 weeks out and I feel miserable after I eat. All I can take is 3 small fork full of anything. Im not trying scrambled eggs again. I still cant get in all my fluids because I always feel full. My Protein Shakes are tasting too too sweet.

Im scared to try anything else

Deviled eggs do sound good. Maybe ill try one. Thanks and good luck to you

I dont go everyday, maybe 2-3 days. I would call the dr

Congratulations

Hi Im two weeks out. My surgery was July 26th, 2016. I came home that next day. I had the same problem. I didnt pass gas til that Friday and first bowel movement later that same day. I felt relieved lol. Good luck to you. It will come out, hold on just dont rush it. Did they send you home with Polyethylene Solution for Constipation? That helps as well

Thanks James Marusek. Good advice

I had grits, 3-4tsps, for Breakfast. No problem. Now lunch at 12:30, I had a scrambled egg.It took me a minute to eat it. That was ok til about two hours later when it was time for my Protein Drink. OMG, I dont know what happened. IDK if it was the Protein Drink or my stomach just didnt want anything. It felt like it had gotten stuck in my chest, and trying to belch at the same time. That is not a good feeling. I kept trying to belch, and then it was the uncomfortable feeling in my chest. I knew something was trying to come back up. After that first dumping session, I felt a little better. I still feel like something is still stuck though. Now I just want to stay on fluids for the rest of my life. My stomach still feels full from the egg, I guess. Advice please.

HI I'm 50 yo and had my procedure about 2 weeks ago. I was feeling fine til about 2 days ago. I'm feeling really tired and do not have the energy to do anything but sleep. Tomorrow starts my 3rd week where I can start eating meats (chicken, seafood). Im scared to start because when I eat now, everything gets stuck in my chest. I take omeprazole everyday.

I'm 2 weeks out and I'm starting to feel like that. I'm taking my Protein and my Vitamins. Idk.

I've been diabetic for years. I take pills and insulin. My sugars have been good since my procedure 2 weeks ago. I'm afraid that when I start eating next week that it will change. How have your diabetic situation changed?

Now I know what alot of you are feeling. This is my second week out and I'm starting to feel really tired. My drinks have starting to just get stuck in my chest.and I'm so sleepy and tired. I dont want to do anything,not even eat. Next week I'm suppose to eat my Protein (chicken, seafood, eggs), I dont know if I'm ready. Now my stomach wont keep my Calcium down.

Hi. I start my 2nd week post op today. I want some food but I won't try. How far after surgery did you all start working out? I can do walking for about 15 minutes so far. Other than walking, what else did you do and how much walking a day?

I managed on my own. I took my time being very careful not to bump into anything. I have a fridge in my room so that helped eventhough the dr want me to use the steps. Those first two days home I stayed upstairs until it was time to go for a walk

I feel that it doesn't matter what anybody thinks about me. This is my life. I want to be healthy and lead a better life. I want to see my grands grow up, and so I can keep up with them. My life is for me to live. Who cares what they think

I hope you feel better soon

I would love to lose 30lbs before my appt. it wouldnt even bother me if he said that was ok. My sheet says I could have grits. I'm only 4days out. I called to make sure that I was reading right and he said that it was ok. Well I should not have done because now my stomach hurts. I feel like I want to make myself bring it back up

My post op meal plan says that I can have grits. Does anyone else say that?

My procedure was the 26th too. I came home Wednesday nite. The first nite home I didn't sleep at all. Last nite was better. My pain has decreased a lot. I do feel a little itchy around where my marks are. Still moving slow. Taking it one day at a time. I'm ready to go outside to walk but it's so dang hot. The dr told me not to go out in the heat. Walk around the house. What have you all been eating? I can do cottage cheese, but I do eat Greek yogurt with one splenda

I had my gb on the 26th and came home yesterday. I woke up this morning feeling like I didn't know what I was doing. Ima little

Sore. Other than that I feel ok. Dr told me not to walk outside because of the heat, so inside it is.
