Eat ice NewSleevedKellyRN

I'm from Dothan. Sleeved 4/18 NewSleevedKellyRN

Is there any lotion I can use to lesson the saggy skin to come? NewSleevedKellyRN

What helps me with Water is ICE. I bought the crushed ice from Sonic (the drive in fast food restaurant) and I munch on it all day. When I would drink water I would get the full feeling but with ice I didn't NewSleevedKellyRN

Ok so thing have been going good. I haven't had any nausea or vomiting (thank the Lord). Just surgery pain. Well on Post-op day 3 I cleaned the kitchen and was feeling normal. So I did a bad thing. I cooked some scrambled eggs. They looked so good. We'll I took 3 bites and was so nauseating FULL. I went to lay down. Took a Phenergan and passed out til today. Woke up groggy. I wanted real food so bad but I went too fast. I feel good now but I jumped ahead and I won't do it again. So tonight I stuck with my Soup and Jello and did fine. NewSleevedKellyRN

I am feeling really good today except for the "hard to pee" thing. Keep us updated Tiffany! Sending prayers your way NewSleevedKellyRN

I am post-op day 2 of Gastric Sleeves. Everything is going good EXCEPT Gas Pain! It is debilitating pain. I have been walking frequently and using Gas-X and a heating pad. NOTHING IS HELPING! Please help me !!!! NewSleevedKellyRN

As of yesterday, I am [NewSleevedKellyRN] The only set backs were, I had to be discharged with a urinary catheter bc my bladder hasn't completely woken up. No N/V, just a lot of gas pain. Been walking alot to move the gas. Look at me! !!!! I am at the beginning of my new Life NewSleevedKellyRN

Wow.... praying for u FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN

Trust me.... it is a thought I have been considering too FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN

Thank you guys..... idk if it's a insecurity or concerns but all I know is I need him with me and he is not at this moment. My husband is the kind of person that lashes out and says things to hurt me to when the argument. Then feels bad later. I am waiting it out right now. The cold shoulder routine. He can't stand it if I don't talk to him. You girls know each husband has their own way of dealing. I just don't like this one FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN

I am on my day 7 of 10 liquid diet for surgery 4/18/16. Got in a huge argument with my husband last night. He ended up saying the he thinks VSG is stupid and he was never on borad with my life change. I told him that he took vows to support me no matter what. So later I just thought he is going to be the one not happy with himself and unhealthy in the long run. I am not! I am going to finally take off my fat suit and live my life.

I completely understand. Yesterday I was with a friend and she bought herself and her daughter some Popeyes chicken. It smelled so good and my mouth was literally watering. Not eating a single bite of food for 9 days will do that to you I guess lol. I couldn't wait to get out of the car and away from the smell. It was truly torture. Sent from my LGLS990 using the BariatricPal App Soooooo bad FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN

I am on day 5 of 10. It's really hard. Right now I am sitting in my den eating a crystal light slushy and my family is eating BoJangles. I hate my life now. But I am just powering through. If I didn't have yal I would be screwed FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN

Hi, I am new here and this is actually my first post. Kelly, I just wanted to tell you that you are by no means pathetic. There is a very real psychological effect to not eating (read: chewing). And the fact that you chewed but still had the will power to spit it back out it just amazing. I hope you realize that you are an inspiration. No one here is pathetic. We have problems with food, but we are doing something about it! I know I don't know you, but I am proud of you all the same. Keep it up Hi, I am new here and this is actually my first post.

YES!!!!! I think it's $2.99 FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN

My doc said I could use unsweetened almond milk instead of Water with the shakes. And I have been drinking Isopure water. 40gm Protein and it counts as water. It's rough but I am hanging in there. I was drinking broth from chicken noodle Soup yesterday and when I got finished I chewed up the noodles and spit them out just for the sensation. I am pathetic FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN At Sonic. The fast food drive in FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN

Oh-oh, we were on different wavelengths. My reference to being educated was in the sense of knowledgeable about WLS, not about formal education. I was curious about your stance as a professional on the politicization of WLS. Many who have formal schooling or native intelligence are wildly narrow-minded. The reverse holds, too. I suppose I lean toward ignoring the dolts partly because my surgery was long ago enough that the surgery itself has taken a back seat and partly because other things going on in my life take up the time and energy. If, however, I encounter a true Neanderthal or Luddite, I'll be to storm the Bastille to defend the honor of bariatrics and the people who love it.I completely agree FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN

What I hope I will achieve with my Sleeve. *taking a bath and when the Water drains out, there won't be a damn of water behind u in the tub *not having to sit in the dinning room chairs without the arms bc you can't fit in the ones with arms *cross my legs in a chair *painting my toe nails without having to use 3 different level props so u can reach your toes. *not sweating between my folds *being able to sleep on my stomach *sit Indian still without having to lean back to u can breathe *tie my shoes without having to prop my foot up to reach my shoe *sleeping without pillows between my thighs so they don't chaff FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN

Well that is an interesting inquiry. It depends on the person that says it to me. If the person is educated and open minded, I take the opportunity to educate and inform. If the person is of lower knowledge and close minded/shallow, I just ignore them. FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN

They haven't like we have FatKellyRN>soontobe<SleeveKellyRN

When ppl find out I am getting VSG they say "if you can lose wt for the surgery then why can't you just keep on doing that?" I am practaly starving myself and ppl just say "keep on doing that" I tell them. I can't starve myself for the rest of my life. And I have been doing this YoYo for >10y.
