Please Help: Struggling with Liquid Meds
sammy246 replied to TeacherBae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know which one you're talking about. They have a thinner liquid Tylenol that is red instead of the thick purple kind. I would ask if they can switch for you! Best of luck, I'm sorry you're miserable! -
I used to take it and it does get a lot better! Just keep at it and make sure your not eating foods that trigger bowel issues. Funny thing, I had to take a magnesium citrate cleanse and it was NOTHING compared to a metformin blowout.

How Hard Is It To Get Pills Down After Surgery? I'm scared!
sammy246 replied to PrettyGirlLosingIt's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was scared to take my pills after, granted it was just pain meds and PPI. It was so easy I almost laughed at myself! It's amazing how I feel the full liquids I take and the. Can barely feel anything with a pill. I'm sure you'll do great [emoji4] -
everything makes me nauseous
sammy246 replied to haleyelizabeth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've never heard of that 8 months out. Could you possibly be pregnant? I hope you get your coverage back Soon so you can get it checked out! -
The only thing I couldn't live without was my robe. I used it to Walk the halls, but also balled it up and used it to position my body, and used as a blanket when I needed some comfort. I never use one at home so that surprised me the most. Other than that, hospital provided everything including toothbrush and chap stick

As long as I spread my fluid intake throughout the day it's no problem. The day I came home from the hospital I went a huge span without drinking and it was hard to catch up! How much protein are you getting and from what sources?

Psychological Evaluation
sammy246 replied to Rblack171's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That legitimately happened to me. She was baiting for more appointments and leaving me threatening messages saying that she was going to "change my report" if I did not listen to her. My hospital ended up dropping her and will no longer do business with this woman. I was not the only patient she did this to and then I found our retroactively that she had previous convictions for ethical violations. Long story short, I ended up having to file a complaint with the board of psychiatry and she's under investigation currently. Be careful who you chose and talk with your Bariatric team if you think something is off. I did and they moved me to a new evaluator ASAP to try and unravel the damage this lady had caused me. -
I should do it within you. I've always wanted to be a runner!

Still taking pain meds at night otherwise I wake up a lot (mostly to pee) TMI I know but they really do pump you so full of liquids. Helps me fall back asleep faster if I take them. I went to the grocery store today and it made me tired which was really sad! LOL. Oh, and I'm now addicted to the food channels. It's becoming a problem!

Feedback: Breast Lift with or without implant? Do you regret the lift without the implant and why? Thanks!
sammy246 replied to CrazyJaney's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I'm with you in this one. Even when I was small I had humungous breasts- it's my most noticeable family trait. I'm so interested to see what happens to them through this process. I'm already expecting to have a TT and Brest lift. I wouldn't mind smaller than my current, but nothing under the DD! -
How are you doing, Bekah? Today seemed like a turning point in recovery for me. I was really able to get up and about. Wondering how my May 1st peeps are doing!!

New clothes and shopping in standard size stores

Love this! -
I don't see anything on my profile. Does anyone have a Facebook group yet?
-
Can you add me? User is the same, sammy246

Go to bed early [emoji23] In all seriousness, just did mine and pretty much drank broth and tea. And I definitely went to bed early to hide from food!
-
Oh no! I'm sorry you had a reaction. Hopefully they are making you comfortable!
-
The stuff was gross, but not as bad as everyone said. Sort of tasted like cough medicine and vinegar! I was shocked about not having gas or nausea- I was thinking id have both!!
-
Thank you! No gas pain and slept on my stomach. Just had my swallow test and all is well. Excited to be on the losers bench!!!
-
Me too! I honestly feel great!!
-
I'm also May 1st! I'm strangely calm. I'm just ready to get it done. I have to take my magnesium citrate in about 2-3 hours and keep to my clear liquids. Can't wait for tomorrow!!!!!!

Any May dates? I just got mine!
sammy246 replied to Roux-en-McClanahan's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Tomorrow is the day! Let's kick off these May dates. How is everyone feeling? -
May 1st and I'm hitting a calm point. I'm thinking Sunday night is when the big nerves will kick back in!
-
Just rest assured in the fact that even if it is 5lbs off, it will still show your declining weight if you are losing! They weighed you with the same scale at 1st appointment so it's still setting the bar. Good luck!

One of the major reasons I will do nothing but RNY is due to the revision rate. Both band AND sleeve are both revised to bypass. It is still the gold standard Bariatric surgery and comes with the most research. They have also greatly improved their methods to help with the severe malabsorption that used to happen even a decade ago. I only want one surgery and this is the one that seems so tried and true.
-
What a bummer! I'm glad you have a date but it would be hard to have things change on you last minute. Best of luck!
