othella

Thanks

How's anyone dealing with this? Just wondering, appointment is coming up this week unsure if this is something I have to deal with.

Yes. Sorry just want thing go go right. I worked hard for this you know. Thanks

The redness??

Mime are red around all of them and it itching alot.

Just had my surgery March 20. I had regards last night like you this liquid diet is getting me. It gets better with time. I take a sip of water every 10 minutes. Even if it's walking in place at your bedside that's a start. Good luck.[emoji890]️[emoji890]️[emoji890]️

I spent 1 night. It was not bad at all. Now there is pain that come with it but it's bearable.

Did anyone deal it itching at the incision site?? If so how do I stop it??

Thanks. Will try that. Fingers crossed.

That's great you have your kids for support!! Like everyone else my family is very judgemental and I had to fight with them the whole way to surgery. I had my surgery, my husband and kids are here holding me together. Good luck on your surgery.

He does love me. Don't know what I would do without him.

So at the beginning of this whole journey the only person who has always been behind me is my husband. No he is acting like I can not do anything, cook, wash clothes, wash dishes. If I try to walk to long in his eyes he is telling me to lay down. Of that's not enough now I have my mother who questioned the way, made little remarks about my weight now wanting to come take care of me. Not only does she want to come stay with me she wants to bring my two youngest nicece too. Which are 3 and 5. It's not some vacation from work for a family get together, I'm recovering over here. Just find it funny now that I am accomplishing what I set out to do now everyone is all of a sudden on mine and husband side.

I do have trouble, had my sleeve done on 3/20. Yesterday I started making in protein and it worked. I start my day with a 16 oz water and I freeze the protein in ice trays that equal up to 80 grams. I eat the and ice all day long. It worked but today is just the second day I'm doing it. Hope that helps

Good luck. You deserve it!!

No just are the ice.

For you guys that are having a hard time getting your liquid and protein down, I found that putting it in ice trays helps me. I am able to get ally protein in this way.

You are doing great. Also don't down play your hard work by saying you still weigh alot. Remember always look at what you have accomplished so far. The fact that it's just 11 days post op, I want to be like you. I'm only 3 days post op and feel all the pain still.

I'm 2 days post op.

How did anyone do this??. Just a few sips and I'm full. I don't want to mess this up and still trying to get down the last of this 36 oz that I started this morning.

It was not as bad as I thought. Surgery went well.

Love the response. Will use!!

Did anyone have trouble sleeping the night before the surgery. This is my issue right now.

Thanks

Great thread!!! My goal is to be at least moving around as my surgery is in the morning.

I make everything the night before. I fill out the food logs and make sure I do not take any money to go out to buy something else while at work. For water I have a water bottle that's 32 ounces, or I measure it by the 16 ounce water bottle.
