Hi, just wanted to check back and see if you got everything taken care of?

Hope you're feeling better now and have found some things that your sleeve will accept. It's tough at first but gets better

Good luck! I hope they can figure something out for you

I had the same surgeon and i was canceled back in January it really sucks. I don't know if you are through Kaiser but you can call your bariatric case worker and see if they can get you in at another facility i know west la and a few other facilities are still doing surgeries and there are cancelations all the time. My friend who was canceled did this and got in a few weeks later. It's worth a shot. Good Luck and hope you can get something figured out.

Hi, I'm 10 days out from surgery and I'm on the soft food stage for the next month. I was wondering if it's okay to use seasoning on foods? Like salt pepper, garlic powder etc. I just realized this morning how terrible eggs taste without seasoning ?

Premier protein has the chocolate peanut butter shake, never tried it myself though.

I'm am so sorry you are dealing with this. While i'm only a week out from surgery i stayed in the hospital till today because my nausea and vomiting were so severe. I would think of certain foods and throw up. Food aversion is terrible. My Doctor kept me because throwing up severely isn't normal. Did your doctor prescribe nausea meds? Mine work slightly and reduce my vomiting and retching by about 50% so i can stomach somethings. Also, 70lbs is a lot not sure what your starting weight was but still that's a lot of weight if you are at a lower bmi. My suggestion if you are getting any where with your doctor, go to the hospital you could have a stricture or something going on.

They did a d. Ow I'm on 2 different nausea meds with little relief, it's terrible

Still here at the hospital, no pain at all! I'm shocked honestly. The worst part for me is the nausea and throwing up. I can't keep anything down. The doctor won't let me leave without keeping stuff down

you too! I'm about to leave for the hospital!

how are you feeling ?

Will do! Started my liquid diet today and had my covid testing it's getting real!!

That's my biggest fear is being tired and exhausted all the time, and hoping I keep my food down don't want to be embarrassed in public EEK

Thank you sounds like i should be able to try and do the class since it 's not too strenuous

Hi, I'm having RNY on 7/23 and i'm wondering how long it took everyone to feel back to normal, and be able to do everyday activities like drive, work, walk the dog, exercise. I have a class starting 2 1/2 weeks out and i'm worried it will be too much even though it's only 2hrs 1 day a week. Thxs

Excellent to hear! Hope your recovery is smooth sail from here ?

are you able to basically do your normal route at this point? I have some scheduled for 3 weeks out and i'm worried i'll be to tired and run down to do it.

Awesome! I didn't think anyone was going to have the same day as me since it is a Friday! I'm hoping for smooth sailings for both of us! I'm going to listen to music before i go in and hope it calms me down haha or maybe they will drug me up early lol

@brendasansan how did your surgery go?

I've been wondering about the blood thinning injections i know some people have to do them for up to 30 days and others don't get them at all. I haven't been told anything about them yet and my surgery is next Friday. Good luck on your recovery
