    Last Minute surgery.... feeling lost now

    I had my surgery there also Dr Khaitan. I had a large amount of scar tissue removed from my 3 c sections over 30 years ago. I also had a hernia repair and a gastric bypass. I was 3 days at UH then home on Oxycodone and did fine I took it for 4 days when I got home and not again. I got constipated from the pain meds. They told me if I cant burp or pass gas Im probably constipated. I took 2 tablespoons of milk of mag and cleaned me out several hours later. I woke up from surgery screaming Im going to vomit. They gave me IV Zofran twice and it didnt work so had to give me IV Phenergan and then I was fine. My surgery got moved back 1 day due to overbooking. If you think you are constipated try some milk of mag.. keep your fluids up Congrats

    Vitamins making me gag :-(

    was having that problem also and then would feel sick all day I just switched to the patch.. each patch is like 2 Multivitamins.. we will see how that goes. Reviews say people are having good test results using the patch. Hoping for that for me. Cost isnt cheap but if it means im not sick all day Im all about that got mine at the bariatric pal store
  6. I was asking because i was told its an easy way to get some Protein that they are very light do not expand in your stomach and have 20 grams of protein not because its a muffin. This brand is recommended for bariatric patients. So thats why I was asking. I did weight watchers prior to surgery and lost 44 pounds in 3 months so Im certainly already in mode for eating well.. so please do not assume I was asking for purposes of having something I shouldnt. and for those asking Flapjacked is a product that is a high protein form of something you already eat Like a muffin or pancake, The people had an autistic child who was fussy and they designed a line of food around things he would eat with the benefits of added protein for energy for this son. They service a lot of the bariatric community. But I was questioning the amount of sugar grams.

    Weight Loss 3 weeks out

    I am post op 8/19 surgery date I gained 23 pound after surgery from having 2 Ivs running in me. It took me 2 weeks exactly to lose that Water weight. I have now lost 18 pounds since then. I had seen people losing 14 pounds their first week. So I just assume it varies for everyone. I had to be readmitted for a twist in my intestine and then seen the doctor every week for seromas (Fluid under the skin) in several of my incisions and she says Im doing fine.. so dont base you on anyone else.. we will all vary.. you are losing so Congrats!!

    Makes me sick

    I too hope this sick of food feeling goes away. I am eating deli turkey and chicken.. I use a Breeza and steam chicken thighs boneless skinless. Carrots steamed really steamed though until totally soft. cheese sticks but I too worry about constipation so have to limit that. refried Beans with a little cheese melted on top. I cant do ham it makes me nauseated. I tried these meatballs someone recommended made me vomit. Premier Protein is to sluggish in my system. Everyone tells me not to worry it will come but there are some items I dont think I will ever eat again..

    Makes me sick

    I also cant do the Protein drinks since surgery had no problem with them pre-op I went and got some unflavored protein and put it in soup/broth for lunch and you cant taste it Doesnt make the Soup thick or anything. May be an option for you

    Help! Painful Drinking

    I had my surgery 8/19 and I cant drink cold or hot.. pretty much room temp for me right now. I have gone through almost every glass in my house until I found a glass that allows me to sip not gulp.. the gulping pain is gas/air. also dont be scared to ask a pharmacist for some medicine cups and drink out of them until you get the hang of it. I wasnt getting enough liquid so found that chicken noodle(less) Soup is it for me 8oz,. I have it for lunch ( i kept the veggies but ditched the noodles) I add one scoop of Protein powder unflavored to it. It takes me several hours to get through it but its liquid and protein.. I struggled after surgery with the Protein shakes. This week I have had three days stomach pain free.. remember you are healing inside
