I got sick for the first time today. It was right when I woke up and I hadn't eaten or drank anything yet. I have had a persistant cough for the last couple days and my sinuses seem to be on overdrive. :-/

It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. I just had my surgery on the 27th. Anyone else have a cough they can't shake? Know why/how to fix???

Getting sick totally took the wind out of my sails. Heading back to pillow city for a bit.

I was told the itching is from all the gas they fill you with leaving your body. I was so itchy all over for the first couple of days. Warm shower helped a lot.

Thank you Punkin for the response! I sure hope that's it! I'm trying to get an appt for today

HELP!!!!! Since I woke up from surgery I have been itching uncontrollably...it hasn't been my incisions so much as all around & my upper thigh...@ first I though it was a reaction to coming off all the meds but it seems to be getting worse & I'm breaking out in these red blotches... The only time it subsides is if I take Benadryl but I can't take this forever!! Has anyone else had this issue? I placed a call in & waiting for a response but I'm one step away from googling & then there is no telling how freaked out I will get!! Please if anyone has any experience with this or advice I would greatly appreciate it!!

I had that problem when I had back surgery, I got so itchy I was scratching so hard I was breaking the skin and bleeding :( It ended up being an allergic reaction to the pain med and they just kept me on Benadryl till they took me off the morphine and i was fine. Hang in there, it will get better :)

As I remember from class this is a sign of a leak. I would call your surgeon.

My gallstone meds are HORRENDOUS! I have to cut open the pull and "take with food". Ruined my meal. :'(

I had the same issue with the capsules...is that what you're using? I called my doc and he prescribed me a tablet version that I could split in quarters and swallow with a sip of liquid. Changed everything. The only time I have been sick was from taking that godawful capsule powder.< /p>

Today is my first day of soft foods, so, this morning I had 1 scrambled egg with cheese, soooo good, for lunch I had left over baked catfish my husband made me yesterday, soooo good, I don't know what I will have for dinner, so far so good I'm able to eat at least 3 oz of meat, which allows me to get my Proteins in, I thank God for allowing my new pouch to tolerate the nutrients I need to sustain. I did however, need to chew, take it slow, I didn't like the stuck feeling. Now I must get Water, water, water in.

Yes!!! They wanted to do a bladder scan after my RNY surgery. I talked them into giving me just another bag of Fluid which didnt do anything. I gained 22 lbs worth of fluid. They did discharge me without the scan and without peeing much. The next day I was in the bathroom about 100 times. Lol. I think it was the trauma of surgery and my awful hospital stay (long story).

YES! It was terrible! I felt like I had to really bad, but couldn't. They concluded that it just took a long time for my bladder to "wake up". It was a good 24-36 hours before I felt normal and could fully empty my bladder.

If it persists call your doctor... I had a stricture and the nauses was awful... I waited a week to call and was pretty much completely closed off by that time. They said strictures usually happen around week 3.... not trying to freak you out but just watch your symptoms

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
