Surgery scheduled for Monday and I am beyond scared

I know I am a worrier too and it does suck. In two weeks you'll be telling me the same things I'm telling you. Hell yesterday was my first day of protein shakes and one meal and and I've feel like crap and have some bad diarrhea and sweats. It's 63 degrees in my house and, my night gown is soaking from the sweat. I'm just saying that working yourself up isn't helping, deep breaths and keep in contact with your doctor. He'll get it figured out. Take care sweetie. I have erratic hours so I'm around at different(weird) hours. If you need to talk.

I haven't been able to keep any liquids down this weekend and now I'm back to throwing up the brown bile I had when I did have a blockage. I am calling the dr this morning. I wish they would admit me and figure this out. I was supposed to go back to work this week but now I'm dehydrated again horrible

@@Peace Love & Sleeve I think if you're not getting answers from your surgeon that are helping you should call your primary. This just does not sound right and you should trust your knowledge of yourself. I think you need to push this until it's resolved. It's gone on a long time. If it does turn out to be a small thing, so what, a little embarrassment. But if it turns out to be a big thing pushing til it's resolved will have mattered.

I just talked to my surgeon and he said I will get admitted this afternoon and get iv fluids and 2mrw he's going to do the scope with the balloon again to stretch it out but under more sedation. he said when he did it on Monday I was gaging so bad that they need more time etc

Good. Keep us posted

@@Peace Love & Sleeve - Man I'm sorry that you are having such a rough time. I am glad to hear they are admitting you. Hopefully they can get this resolved.

I was sleeved last Monday! One thing I wasn't was scared! It was my decision to have the surgery. I did a great deal of research prior to the seminar.

I'm not looking back, only forward!

Stay positive! Getting out of bed as soon as possible and walk, walk, walk! Helps tremendously!

Best of luck! We are here for you!

Hope it gets worked out sweetie

I was admitted Sunday for dehydration than yesterday they put another scope in to widen it. I'm at home again but my throat is raw, and everything is swollen. Please pray this works, otherwise he mentioned a feeding tube

Crossing fingers and toes this works for you.

I would really be careful eating anything you are not supposed to before its time. Doing that is a major cause for leaks. Even if you don't notice it right away. I am a manager at a doctors office and we have several patients who ate before they were supposed to and they developed leaks. You need to give your stomach time to heal around your staples.

I haven't eaten in weeks, I'm focusing on liquid. I'm only sleeping about 4 hrs in a 24 hr day. .. it's driving me crazy but Im 4 weeks out of work so far.

God bless you sorry ur going through this I'm having protein problems I don't do it I hate it

I need the secret to a good protein shake. . can't have fruit. maybe Hershey sf???

I don't do fake sugars or stevia. This morning my Protein shake was greek yogurt. Isopure Protein powder, almond butter, cacao (unsweetened chocolate) powder. A little bit of Water to blend and ice to make it cold.

I mostly just play with favors I like. Fage 0% Greek yogurt plus Isopure naked whey protein provides a good 30 - 38 gms of protein. It's not too thick because I use water instead of milk. I ma vegetarian and have a lot of food allergies. Artificial food dyes & fake sugars are 2 of them. I use the Isopure because it's just plain whey protein. No added sugar or colorings. If I want to add sweetness I typically use raw honey.
