My surgeon said the pre op diet is only to reduce the size of the liver so they have more space to work. Apparently eliminating the carbs gets the liver using up its store and it starts to reduce in...
yes, its really annoying the pre op diet. It was the worst part I think. Really much worse than any other part. I ended up just going to bed early so I could get as much rest as possible. Also, check...
I think if you did that you would feel more comfortable. I know after surgery I had to sleep on my back for weeks and initially that was hard but I soon became used to it and still sleep that way...
Congratulations and great post!
How long until you can get back to clay target shooting?
It gets even more real when you are lying on the bed waiting to be wheeled into the operating theater!
Whats really nice about the sleeve is that soon you will be able to eat all this stuff again, but just a little portion and then you will fell full and quite content. So its the best of both worlds,...
Fever can be a sign of the body fighting infection so after surgery like this it could be a bad sign. I agree with the other posters, don't take chances and double check with your doctor or surgeon....
I would wait until after you leave the operating theater.
If you are ever nervous, just look at some of the before and after photos here and you should feel better!
The earplugs are a good suggestion. Helps to stop you hearing all the screaming.
I hope it went ok and you are recovering now
I tried to occupy myself by trying to train cats to decorate birthday cakes. Its not easy. Lots of scratches, but still working on it.
Wow, i have no idea how you could go to the gym so soon after surgery, and I doubt I could have done that!
I know this sounds bad but for some reason I found I started watching a lot of videos of people making chocolates and videos of automated cake making machines on YouTube. Kind of sounds weird when...
Yes, and I think its the worst part of the surgery really. Apart from the day after the surgery where you feel crappy, but from then on it gets better as there is less restrictions on the type of...
Great post niamh, and absolutely perfect advise!
I would not worry too much about loosing weight at this point and I think its best to just focus on the surgery and getting well after that. What an amazing day to have the operation and your never...
I guess we have all had that "what the hell have I gone and done" feeling after surgery, however you do get back to a more normal phase. I can eat fairly normally. But its different. Today I was so...
May I asked why you have a supervised diet, as I only had to diet for 2 weeks to reduce my liver size so the surgeons had space for the surgery. I am not sure why you would need to diet longer than...
Your scales broke? From being too light? Perhaps they are rebelling and angry with you?
My lower colon psychic said that she could see more fiber in my future, so thats nice.
Yes, its quite normal. It will come off. Apparently the body tries to fight the weight loss, but exercise helps and sticking to more solid protein foods etc. The weight loss is not so linear and it...
Yes, loosing weight means I was feeling the cold and I had to do what other people do, such as buying a jacket when going out. I was always warm when overweight, but now I am feeling the cold like...
