I get the hiccups :) Earlier in my journey (just after surgery) it was a pressure in my chest too. Just remember to eat really slowly so your body has time to tell you it’s full- if you don’t you’ll eat too much and feel awful Once you hit real solids it gets better. Promise :)

Pre-Surgery Diet - Advice/Motivation Please!
BostonWLKC replied to AEdoesRnY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Definitely premiere protein shakes— blended with ice cubes to make them last longer and more filling . Sugar free popsicles tame the need for sweets ! Still do post op :) You’ve got this— it’s amazingly worth it! -

BostonWLKC replied to Bonzers's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Trip shouldn’t be an issue at all and you should definitely go!! Food and drink on the other hand will/ May be an issue. -
thirty pound mountain to climb/premier protein
BostonWLKC replied to actuallylosingit's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Premiere protein typically works for folks doing a liquid diet prior to surgery. They taste really good too- sweet but good . Many flavors -
Congrats and enjoy the journey!

BostonWLKC replied to Dfox1984's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Likely really high sugar content may not be a good idea -

I’d be concerned with the dumping issue- I’d reach out to your dr ASAP. A year and a half out -yikes -
No excited about revision
BostonWLKC replied to E-girl's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
The rny was really easy for me- what are you specifically nervous about and maybe folks can help ease your mind? -
I’m with the recliner people! Then moved to a pillow under my side and my back so I was propped in the side position but not totally on my side. It helped. Give it a couple of weeks and you’ll be back sleeping on your side

No issues with spicy here- I’d stay away from Takis though 😮 Maybe try spicy hummus with veggies ?

Uncomfortable After Eating
BostonWLKC replied to bluehat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Seems like maybe too much too fast. Sound advice so far - and I second it— slow it down a bit . And no, the uncomfortable feeling doesn’t last forever but the smaller amount does . At 6+months I’m at about 3/4-1 cup and feel full. -
Starting the process, looking for information
BostonWLKC replied to mommamiller's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I had a bypass . Mainly for maximum weight loss and to get rid of any chance of reflux . I also notice(d) that many sleevers tend to have revision to bypass for medical reasons . I didn’t want to chance having two surgeries . I’ve had zero issues, pain or vomiting etc or anything people tend to think of when they think rny Good luck with your decision -

Fluid intake after Gastric Bypass
BostonWLKC replied to wv_gal's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had the same issue for a couple of months. Try hot water - or decaf teas . Hot water was easier to sip for me! -
Try hot water ... cold water really bothered me for a long time. The hot water (decaf tea etc) worked

Consider bypass if you have reflux

Anyone regret their RNY because of GI issues post op?
BostonWLKC replied to Briswife15's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had RNY in December… Zero nausea zero gas and zero tell me sounds -
If you still feel feverish - you may want to call dr

I don’t think I had one for over week. Take the Miralax Absolutely don’t have raisins or oj Smooth move tea works - but cramps your stomach for about 15 min. It works though Feel better

Some draining can be normal- I think you’re fine to wait til Monday if it isn’t red and don’t have a fever etc . As folks mentioned- keep it clean and covered Good luck Monday !
