  1. Thank you I appreciate you sharing your situation. Its a big change for everyone. I hope you get your rest and,keep healing smoothly! Drink up my friend Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  2. He is overweight but athletic. Maybe he is insecure of the upcoming changes. I think he was cautiously optimistic on this whole process because I've always started strong on things then ultimately fail (diet wise) I've had a couple of other surgeries which incapacitated me for days and weeks so this isn't a foreign concept. On needing help, I've done much on my own and only ask for help if I was seriously in need. I'm going to try and talk with him again. Maybe I'm over reacting owever I do notice since surgery he is very different. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  3. Okay. I'm just over a week out of surgery. It wasn't a walk in the park like you all know. It isn't something that you walk off. I am also battling some weird lymphnode infection on my neck. I am tired. I am sore. I need rest. Why am I expected to get up and running like normal? I had a good Friday and Saturday. I pushed through some pain and paid for it. My husband makes me feel that still needing help is bothersome. He barely spoke to me today especially when I asked him to grill steaks and heat up a side dish for his and my daughters dinner. When I was napping, he wakes me up asking what I'm doing? He's expecting me to sit for 4 hours tomorrow and run payroll. This isn't just drop numbers in and go. It's complex and I can barely get through writing an email or post. I haven't even looked at work stuff since September 12 and he knows that. The nature of our relationship is that we bicker friendly like. Our pet names for each other is jerk and jerkie. We playfully argue and nit pick but we never get mean. He works long hours and is very type A. I do my best to keep my requests for help down. I hate being dependent on help. My hubby just isn't making this easy. I just need some slack but that is lost on him. We've been through so much together good bad and ugly. We have been very fortunate in many ways. I just thought I'd have a little more understanding. Augh.. thanks for listening. I just don't get it. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  4. Bring a dress. My gas pains made it very uncomfortable to wear pants or bras. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  5. Don't be too hard on yourself. Pick yourself up and finish strong. Definately don't eat anything in the 48 hours,before. I slipped up before surgery. I felt bad, I fussed about it and then I moved forward. If you dwell, you can sabotage yourself. Hang in there! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  6. I didn't have a drain. Sleeved 9/19 Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  7. Drink up! And push up your protien if not hitting the amount recommended. You possibly need a small amount of carbs into diet. If it gets too worrisome, call your doctor Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  8. Congratulations that is awesome keep it up Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  9. My surgery was a,sleeve and hiatal hernia repair and it was done in approximately 45 minutes. Every surgeon will be different and every case too. Good luck. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  10. Thank you, about the pooping I am getting so worried. Are you feeling like you got hit by a Max truck too or is it just me? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Why are you vomiting though? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I do. I pace myself. Do something rest. It seems like the more activity I have the better I feel. I even ventured out to a restaurant for dinner last night. Loved my soup minus the the chunks. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  11. Hang in there. I was sleeved Monday too. It will get better. Today was a good day for me. Remember sip slow, it can take a little bit to ramp the fluids. As long as you keep peeing and drinking, you should be ok. As you heal, your Fluid intake will increase. My dr said don't worry about poopping. It can take up to 10 days. Obviously if you are in pain that's different. I am by no means an expert but this is what I've learned so far Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  12. It's odd. I'm hoping over the next few days it improves. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  13. Why does drinking Water feel like I'm swallowing razor blades? I'm taking small sips, hot cold, room temp. It hurts. broth Milk protien shakes strained Soups don't hurt. Have any of you had this issue? I'm 4 days out. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  14. I couldn't stay in any more. Sitting on my porch and deck wasn't Cutting it anymore. I went to see my gram for 2 hours and stopped at the grocery for some Soup and milk. I feel pretty good. Time for a nap and relax. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  15. I mixed my premier Protein with milk and I can drink it much easier! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  16. I feel like they should've kept me when I said I got in 4 oz of broth in the day. But was sent home.I had less than an 8 Oz of Water, no broth and bad nausea and I still was sent home. I did have auth from my insurance for up to 3 days Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  17. Try liquids at different temps - it might help. broth, tea, sf popsicles, crystal light, infused water - try different things and see what you can tolerate better. You need to stay hydrated or you'll end up back in the hospital!I'm going to Rita Italian Ice later. Its one of the few sugar free things I can eat without stomach cramps and headaches. Thank you for the suggestions. I am trying different tempts and liquids. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  18. Today is a little bit better. I can't take the Vitamins I bought. I found a sample packages of Bariatric fusion softchews and I can tolerate that much better. Sipping Water isn't going so well. I've managed to sip 1/2 of a Protein shake. Hopefully I can get more in. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  19. I'm having a bit of a rough time. I had a hiatal hernia repaired so ouch. But I was able to put my own socks on today. Haven't been able to tolerate protien yet. But this is temporary and next thing we know this part will be a memory Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  20. I was told not to trust a fart for the first 10 days. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  21. Thanks guys! I did stop the Norco because it was hard to swallow and hurt alot. Even small sip of Water is difficult to say the least. I don't feel nauseous which is great. I now this is temporary but it just sucks Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  22. I feel and look like death warmed over. Had surgery Monday with also repaired a hiatal hernia which I did know I had. I just want to cry. But that hurts I know it's only temporary but when did you feel betterish. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
