Sleeved Yesterday 7/19 - having trouble!!



Recommended Posts

Yes, it is normal to be put on puree diet after any bariayric surgery. The stomach staple line has to heal and chunks of food can get caught and cause terrible complications. Follow the diet to the utmost, also consult your medical staff with any questions and concerns! Puree is a very normal and safe phase. My surgeon advanced me to a soft diet after 30 days. Dont worry!

You had said on the purée you were eating eggs and tuna and cheese. Those were not allowed on my purée diet. Those were 4 weeks out for me on the soft food diet. I'd be curious how many leaks/abscesses they have with that diet at only two days out. Did they give you a leak test before the diet started?

They have had none. I'm the second case ever with the abscess. Btw anything can be puréed with a food processor. Seems you need to do more research past what ur doctors did because I did going in myself.

You never said you puréed the food. You originally came on in severe pain and people were suggesting some things to look into that might help. I am the queen of research. I'm a badass researching Mom so don't even try it. None of us that were asking about the food were insulting you we were just offering something to look into. If you don't want anybody commenting why post at all. I'm very sorry your going through complications. I do hope you feel better soon. And why would you purée cheese or even how. The number one suggestion for complications and pain is to step back on food to liquid and call your Surgeon. You said yourself they pushed on your stomach and sent you home even though you had a fever. Doesn't sound right.

Amen Nikki!!! For someone who is having so many complications and cannot be worried about food phases he has plenty of time to bash anyone that tries to give words of encouragement.

Don't take offense to suggestions. Seems you were insulted and took it personal.

Im confused on someone who does so much research doesn't realize everything on a purée diet is puréed? So I'm suppose to say every food name is suppose be followed by the word purée?

Yes, baked Ricotta is an infamous one on this forum that's delicious also.

Excuse me for asking a question. I just never pureed any of my food. I did a lot of smoothies. And of course, we all do a lot of research. No need to get nasty

How much does the Vitamin IV cost??

I was really searching - those places that are like hangover refreshers, they cost upwards of $350. But I found a little naturopathic doctor who offered it for $150. It's what I would have spent on food for myself last week, right?? ;)

I got a green Vitamin IV in the hospital the other day, it definitely increases your sense of well being.

I feel like absolute crap!! I mean this is rough. More then I thought it was. Had a battle nauesouia after taking my bedtime meds on an empty stomach.

i feel like I have a fever, but granted I was covered up with a lot of clothing.

i have body ache and god forbid I have to get up and out of a seat and sit down, it is rough and everything hurts and is tight.

Im trying to see what everyone else had. I'm really concerned and praying this gets better.

i also had an emotional bought where I was crying at home today!! I'm just all over the place

Totally normal Sucks but normal, it will all pass and it will all be worth it. :)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
