Gabbie-1

CarolineLittle I am so sorry, and I can relate. Just the nauseas feeling no actual vomiting. I pray we get better soon

Miss sunshine p sounds a bit like frothing to me. Look it up I think there are tips on how to deal with it

Nothing tastes good

So do we have to keep doing 1oz every 15 minutes or can we go with 2 oz every 30 minutes? Now 1 week post op

Yes difficult to get all the liquid and protein in. Even prepping the 1oz cups ahead. Very fatigued all I want is sleep! Anyone else having these issues?

Buying 1 oz cups and water/meal prepping is the way to go. I have a timer that goes off from 8-8 still hard to keep up

Well I am walking around with these drains and the hose keeps catching and getting slightly pulled out. Ouch! My hubby has banned me from the kitchen until drains are removed.

La nena thank you!! I will find it and try it out. Right now doing watered and iced down coffee with caramel fairlife 30g protein to cut the sweetness

I got 1/2 mile walk in around the neighborhood felt like 5, but good. Stopped every 48 steps for a sip. I got full quickly will pace it out to 60-70 steps per sip

Synlee we haven’t heard from you lately, praying all is well and you’re doing much better. My surgery band to RNY was Monday 5/15 gained weight from 205 up to 212.5 due to fluids. Released from Hospital 5/17 at 212.5. Gassy, very loose stool, pee constantly, other than that doing good with minimal pain controlled by Tylenol extra strength melts. Plan for today put on belly band (helps with swelling and pain), then loose sweats and hide my drains in the legs & take a walk to the end of the block a few times throughout the day. Wish me luck Thanks

Sore, gas, and yucky drains. No more vomiting and nausea, no real pain, just tired and bored

La nena buy the unflavored protein and add it to your soup or broth

Synlee have you tried using an eye dropper with 1/2 tsp water at a time

Oh so sorry, I pray for you! I was hoping the sip and let it melt in your mouth would work. What about ice chips.?

Day, sorry my phone is having trouble. Little pain now, Monday was rough lots of nausea, a lot of pain. Today was pretty good, minimal pain mostly gas pain. Ian still on water only. I will go Home tomorrow. Looking forward to broth.

I ended up staying anothe

On my way to hospital and surgery now

Synlee, I pray you’re doing better today. Have you tried taking super tiny sips and just holding them in your mouth until they absorb? Just a thought.

Surgery in three &1/2 hours. Actually slept well. Tummy rolling and nervous as can be. All my surgery friends, I am praying for us all.

Up all night in the bathroom Yikes

I am tomorrow 5/15 too and getting nervous and excited. Opioids really plug me up so I took Metamucil tonight. Now worried I’ll b

I just read “if someone says something cruel or prying” you should respond with “are you ok” in a concerned manner. If they push respond with “it just isn’t like you to be so_____.” Fill in the blank. Suggestions= rude, catty, mean, insensitive, prying, whatever fits the situation

LindsayT Great job and I know what you mean about the mind tricking you into wanting to eat. During the next few days they want me to drink 1oz of liquid every 15 minutes. This is to prepare for after surgery. I find this very difficult! Seems I am sipping from a 1oz med cup constantly. Anyone else have problems with this? Surgery next Monday 5/15

My problem is age. I am 71 and usual cutoff age is 70. I was approved for WLS RNY due to complications from band surgery. I am not looking forward to sagging skin & boobs. Yea they sag a bit now and I hate it. So I have WLS on 5/15, figure 8-12 months to look into plastics. Instead of a mommy makeover it will be a granny makeover. Hahaha

CarolineLittle, I truly admire you. Thank you for doing this post
