beggingtobehealthy

Today was my first time going in 12 days. I used to be a multi time per day kinda gal. It took me two doses of chocolate laxative and two suppositories before I could go. My dr says it's normal. I used to be putting crap into my body and shoveling food in my mouth as quick as I can. Now I can only handle an occasional popsicle or sip of a Protein shake. Protein constipates you. After I finally went today, I was sweating and felt drained. It doesnt help that it was my first movement post op. Definitely try a couple days of stool softener or laxatives I personally prefer the chocolate ones since they are easier to break down than pills. And don't be afraid of suppositories. It's not a walk in the park but clearing out your system ID amazing... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I think you need to identify why you are regretting it and take it one minute at a time. I'm not regretting surgery I am just afraid of what COULD happen. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

My boobs grew secondary to pregnancy and nursing. So I already have the droopy post boobie feeding look going for me. Just was sleeved four day ago. Really hoping they don't get any worse Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Just looking for a little support. Was sleeved on 4/27. Woke up in agony from the gas pains. Woke up on the 28th with pain and nausea and was told I needed to stay another night. Now they told me I have to drink three glasses of crystal light before they would discharge me. My pain is mediocre but I'm concerned that when I swallow, I have pain in the center of my chest. Just wondering if anyone else has had this and what helped. My dr says it is normal and I need to take bigger sips and that gravity will do its job and it will get easier. Just patiently waiting to feel better and start my new life Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Omg you sound just like me and I was sleeved the same day they let me.go home the next night but last night was miserable I was so sore and gassy and achey and nauseous I'm just like when will this all go away and I'm trying to get my 64oz of liquids in but my chest hurts so bad when I swallow !

I've been walking as much as they will allow but have said they want the gas to go naturally Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Ugh thanks. It's awful. And they are pushing fluids pretty hard Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

It's 5:14 am and I am checking in to the hospital to start my new life! I am so ready for this mentally and physically. Been prepping for TEN MONTHS doing all the required stuff. I have never been so excited before. I am ready to take back my life! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

My doctors prices were $25,000. I almost had to self pay. I would've done a TON of research but Mexico was an option Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

You and I are surgery buddies. I was sleeved at 730 am EST Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

My surgeons program is a bit longer than others but my insurance required 6 months of nutrition, a pulmonologist, a couple other things, then they tried to get it authed through my primary insurance which didn't cover it but my secondary came back after a couple weeks and approved it Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App Oh I should say I started the program in June 2015 and am having surgery today. So about ten months later Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Screw the scale. I am doing this (heading to the hospital right now) for me, my health, and my kids. I don't need a scale to tell me I'm doing good. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

The first 4-5 are the worst. This is my last day and I have been doing it since last Tuesday and I don't feel hungry at all Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I had my gall bladder out but couldn't wait to have it done at the same time as my sleeve. I am so thankful I had it out. I couldn't eat things like avocado and Peanut Butter for awhile but it was for the best. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

i HAD to use the programs nutritionist. There was no other way to get the visits done. They expected me to keep a daily journal (thank you fitbit) and make some kind of progress every month. Honestly though, I am thankful for the long process just for the pure fact that i learned SO much from everything. I look at food COMPLETLEY different and my surgery isnt even until Wednesday!

It took 2 weeks to get auth through my insurance and that was considered FAST. On another note, you still have a little time. I am only taking 5 days off post op since my position is mostly sedentary

All day today I have been itching to take a Xanax to help. Total panic mode. Surgery is on Wednesday. But I am so ready to be healthy again Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon asked me to call before I saw him to find out if it was a covered benefit. It isn't Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the suggestion. was getting bored with my EAS. Just ordered some Peanut Butter cookie and strawberry kiwi Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

With my program it was a seminar, drs appt, six nutrition visits, pulmonologist appt, cardiologist appt, sleep study, and psychologist. THEN they submitted for pre cert. Part was due to insurance reasoning a lot of it was due to my drs requirements. It depends on your doc and insurance Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

A couple friends of mine just started their pre op diet again to kinda reboot their sleeve. Worked like. Charm to get them in the right direction Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I'm scheduled for the 27th as wekk Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App
