So glad to hear your surgery went well! 4 more days until my big day! I am more nervous about gas pains than anything else [emoji15] lol

15 days post op and I just took my Vitamins for the first time. I have the BA Ultra Multi with Iron. About 15 minutes after I took them, I couldn't hold back the nausea and had to run to the bathroom in a cold sweat. I think tomorrow I'll try Centrum chewable because that's what I've got handy right now but I'm open to suggestions.
I just hope I don't puke again. Any ideas on how to prevent this?

Question for you all. In the first two weeks post surgery, did anyone not crush up their pills?

I have both the hospital meds and my own personal meds to take. Crushing them up without food is absolutely disgusting. I cut them up into tiny pieces in the hospital and swallow them with no problem but the nurse said I may not absorb those as well.

I definitely need to absorb my seizure meds as well as possible.

For me head hunger is seeing food, seeing others eat and wanting it. Simply just thinking I’m hungry. True hunger is stomach hurting & growling. I haven’t had true hunger yet I’m 10 days post.

Anyone from the DFW area? Looking for friends that understand what I’m going through. I was sleeved on 5/29/18

All went well. For the most part the pain feels like acid reflux??? Pop cycles help sooth the burning feeling but still there. Protein Shakes is helping too. [mention=338343]TaylorMade4One[/mention] are you still hungry? I’m kinda getting that way too.

2nd day post-op and I can barely sip any liquids : (

My hunger is real. I have hunger pains in my stomach. I wish I didn't but I do....[emoji21][emoji21][emoji21]

Sorry to hear that! I had my surgery Monday too, how are you feeling today?

I’m Monday the 13th as well. Im drinking Bone Broth, and lots of Protein smoothies...I have a smoothie King at the end of my street so I’m on a first name basis now! Haha.

I had a great surgery and am recovering really well, hope you did too!!

Congratulations with your surgery. I hope we will get through this without any negative side effects. Lol I get you with the hunger part, I had it today as well, but after a few tea spoons of the chicken I had, I was done and I’m still full. It has been 2 hours by now. I won’t be eating anything else today. Otherwise it’s just to much. Sipping Water and other sugar free drinks.
We can do it [emoji1317][emoji1317][emoji38]

Good Morning!

Yes, I live in the DFW area.

Hey everyone
Well I have done it. I took the leap of faith and now I’m on the other side.
I got home this afternoon after 1 day stay. Lots of burping and passing gas. I’m so full for tea spoons of puréed chicken in broth , my stomach did feel sore because of it. Sipping Water through the day and trying to walk.
And also my focusing on my breathing and making sure I temperature myself.

I was so scared before the surgery and so nervous , and now I’m at home trying to get through the first few days and slowly adjusting to this new life.

Also I had a different name on here , few people managed to find me that I didn’t want for them to found out so I changed it.

Anyway I’m trying to focus on the things, it took me about 1,5 years to get here so it’s a long time coming.

Thank you for reading and hopefully I will hear from you guys xoxo

At the hospital!! I.V. in and ready... whew!!!

@ Elle.....I am also the 13th. 2 week preop diet is not too bad now that I am a week into it. Not looking forward to my weekend liquid diet. What state are you in?

Had my surgery on the 6th. Despite a cheat day due to stress, my liver was small and pretty clean.
But let me tell you... GAS PAINS ARE NO JOKE.
Was in hospital until about 5pm today, pain is not fully gone but alas, was not prescribed anything but liquid tylenol, anti-nausea, and gabapentin. Pharmacy is out of the anti spasmodic.

Now that I am home and had some deep sleep, the coughing has started. With 5 incisions and gas pain and nausea, this is hell.

All well, since I pretty much have not been drinking, going to try to now. Maybe that plus the meds will also quiet the cough some.

Best to all!

My sleeve surgery is on Monday the 13th! Starting my two day clear liquids only today! The two week pre op diet was difficult mentally more than physically but I am so excited to be moving to the next stage and so nervous for surgery

Well, tomorrow’s the big day!
RNY bypass first thing in the morning
Today is day three of my liquid diet. It’s not as bad as I thought it would be. I’m not hungry, I just want to chew something and Jello just doesn’t cut it.
I was planning on sleeping the day away so tomorrow would come and I could just get this over with, but my back just isn’t going to let that happen. So, I guess I’ll try and keep busy.

After many last-minute hurdles to jump through the last few weeks (as late as Friday there was still uncertainty - I discovered on Thursday I had to have a CPAP machine at the hospital - so I had one day (Friday) to acquire one. Also PCP only cleared me for surgery last Wednesday (had to get cardiac clearance after a last minute echocardiogram) - surgery is a go for tomorrow - fingers crossed! I'll try to post updates...

Just stopping in to wish everyone having surgery with me tomorrow the best of luck. Hope everything goes well for you’ll. See you guys on the other side.

Tomorrow at 5:45 am I am reporting to the hospital for my surgery! All prayers and good vibes appreciated see y’all on the other side!!!
