January 2014 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

I've also use the Neti-pot and it works well I've tried the Saline Solution also both works well. Good Luck!

Pre-admission testing went well today. All set for January 8th! I'm just hoping cold/sinus infection is completely gone. Can't imagine coughing after surgery. I was worried that the surgeon and anesthesiologist would want to postpone .

Neti-pot to help get rid of your sinus infection. It is uncomfortable first time but really helps! I'm using one daily to prevent any sinus infections before surgery. I get sinus funk all the time. I'm also taking a Vitamin C supplement to help.

If neti-pot is too much for you then you can also do saline must sprays.

Thanks! Think I will go to saline spray and add some Vitamin C.

Do NOT use a Neti pot for a sinus infection. It says on the package to NOT use it if you suspect one.

Sorry if this is to much TMI. But my cycle has came on and surgery is scheduled for Monday. It's going to be a mess.

I am in the same shungsleeve. I am not scheduled until Wednesday though so I hope it is gone by then. It came on the 1st so unless the liquid diet has changed things considerably, I am hoping I will be fine,

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
