I am 4 wks out from surgery unable take protien in any form getting very little fluids in i cannot eat anything without wanting to vomit. I had complcations from internal bleeding & kidney failure due to blood loss. I wish i had never had it done i am sick of being sick. Please those of you considering surgery to look very carefully at all poss.complcations. i am very disgusted with my results i have no strength, stamina, nothing & i will not till i can take in protien which is impossible. Good luck if you decide to go through with it

Oh Lux, I'm sorry to hear that but I am so glad that you now know what is going on. Rest up and stick to the clear liquids. I hope you'll be right as rain soon.

if you're able to drink Isopure is good... good source of Protein drink

A better Me

Oh Lux' date=' I'm sorry to hear that but I am so glad that you now know what is going on. Rest up and stick to the clear liquids. I hope you'll be right as rain soon.[/quote']

You can always tell when there is a brit in the house. Sure as eggs are eggs they'll say something silly like "right as rain". Suz...what's right about rain? heh heh

I'm going to fly to the UK and knock you up someday Suz! Sure as eggs are eggs.

(and for those thinking Im going to impregnate her or beat her up...sheesh get your mind out of the british gutter :P They say these funny things ALL THE TIME!!!

Lol Iggy! You can fly to the uk but you won't find me there! I have been living in Philadelphia for over 19 years. Picked up the nickname then and it's stuck around.

Oh and rain has to be right in England because you don't get much of anything else!!! :-)

You can knock me up anytime Iggy!!!

Lux, I am so sorry to hear your vomiting continued to the point of having to go to the ER.

Glad to hear you're on new meds and have been checked out. Please keep us posted. I'm sorry you're having such a rough start :mellow:

Lux, I appreciate you sharing this. I wish you the best. I am happy you are taking liquids now. Sunkist has a tube of Protein that has 46 protein grams. You can add it to the Water. It is sold at GNC. They also have protein puddings.

. I get sleeved 11/23. I also appreciate all of the advice given to you.

Oh goodness, Lux, what a mess! Hopefully you her everything straightened out quickly and feel better.

As for knocking people up, y'all do what ever, but stay away from this girl! I am so done with those days, lol.

once u start eating solids, you will be ok. i had the same problem until i ate solids. trust me.

i had a leak and couldve died because of it but thank god, im alive & will be 11months post op in 2days. im down 127lbs.

Mrs Igg.I just read this thread and I think her question was fair. Before you or your little posse start attacking others ask yourself this.Who cares for your special needs kid while you babysit this website? Looks like another act of selfishness to me! SMH! You even had the nerve to say thanks everyone.You are just an old bully!

I hope you are doing well! I came here to see if you had updated! I hope to hear from you soon! Let us know you are OK!

Hey katie feeling a little better today . Had to go back in hospital friday morning but was released sat afternoon, no vomiting for a couple days now so i consider that a plus.

Hi guys. I just got sleeved on wed., and so far - so good. The worst part for me so far has been the

pain in my shoulder from the gas. Once I got rid of that, all else seems to be good. I expected the

energy loss from the anesthetic and stuff, but I'm drinking my clear liquids and all seems to be coming right along. It's Isopure for me. It doesn't taste bad at all, and the LaBrada Lean Body shakes are

pretty good as well - when you have to do the shakes, which I had to two for 2 wks. prior to surgery.

Lux, I'm sorry you're having a hard time of it, and wish you the best. I'll try to keep you guys posted on

my recovery and progress.

Hope this means you're on the mend, Lux. Hope things continue to improve and you feel better and stronger each day!

Hopefully you are past the worst of it. For most, things get better as the days go by and your stomach heals internally.

I really do wish you the best!!!

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Nice to see someone join this site just to do so :)

When my son is not in school he is with either myself, my husband or his nanny. He has a feeding disorder...rest assured your concerns for him are duly noted. He's in great hands at all times. Right now he's doing his homework while I sit with him.

And I'm barely 49. To be an old bully I think I have to be at least 60 don't I? :P

Lux babe...how's it going today? I'm hoping slow but steady on the mend?
