January 4, 201511 yr This is a great place to meet nice folks who are in the same boat as you are, ask away...someone is bound to have an answer! Good luck to you, you are in my prayers....
January 5, 201511 yr Already getting nasty comments from my brother in law saying I didn't need the surgery I was just being lazy! Feeling really upset!
January 5, 201511 yr Already getting nasty comments from my brother in law saying I didn't need the surgery I was just being lazy! Feeling really upset! Ignore him - it may be the first negative comment but unfortunately probably not the last :-( Hold your head high and know that you are making the right decision for YOU and nobody else!
January 5, 201511 yr Plenty of people out there who think far too highly of their own opinion. You have to trust that you made the right decision for yourself. I bet in a years time, when you have lost plenty of your weight he will be singing a different tune
January 5, 201511 yr Already getting nasty comments from my brother in law saying I didn't need the surgery I was just being lazy! Feeling really upset! Tell him to suck it! Or if you want to be more polite, just ignore him.
January 12, 201511 yr I was sleeved 1/5 as well. How is everyone doing? I have had no pain /nausea / or gas issues....just very sore. I am having a hard time getting in my fluids and Protein,.......I'm just not hungry or thirsty AT ALL. Sigh. I am still doing my best though. I had to get some milk of magnesium tonight as I have not had a BM since day of surgery.... anyone else with this problem?
January 13, 201511 yr Had Surgery Jan 6th….Everything is going smoothly the large incision still tender getting up and down and stretching does feel to good. Gas has been going away that was the worst pain for me personally. How are everyones post op meal plans i know each dr or hospital has different…I'm on clear liquids for this first week…now I'm about to move to full liquids for week 2 and 3 (means i get yogurt, cream soup, thin sliced mashed potatoes, oatmeal)….cant wait until my 4th week for some actual food
January 13, 201511 yr Already getting nasty comments from my brother in law saying I didn't need the surgery I was just being lazy! Feeling really upset! well your brother-in-law's a jerk, usually narcissistic people can see any further than the tips of their noses... You can tell him that his advice is unsolicited and not appreciated... I apologize for being crude... You don't need that type of discouragement, good luck to you and God Bless -stacey
