I live in Melbourne & had my sleeve done in Viera. Good luck!
I only have my shakes with 40 calorie almond milk b/c it does make a world of difference!
I love that this post was started! Big hug to all of you!
The first few days/week were rough pain-wise. Even if it hurts, try to walk around your house a little bit. Walking really does help. I promise that soon the pain will subside.
I would call your dr. I had the same issue and ended up getting put on Prevacid (the dis-solvable rx). I had my surgery a couple of days after yours and I still find myself a bit nauseous at times....
Hey! I went to a whole bunch of different websites. The ones I can remember off of the top of my head are: bariatricadvantage (dot) com; bariatricchoice (dot) com; celebratevitamins (dot) com;...
Yeah, I have found myself doing that lately. Looking at what other people are eating and thinking to myself how unhealthy it is and how much/often I used to eat it.
Hey Cory! I went online and was able to get a lot of free samples. I didn't want to spend the money on something that I wouldn't like taste-wise. My favorite shakes are Syntrax Nectar. They are low...
Thanks guys!! I am just feeling a little down. I appreciate all of your motivating words. I love this forum!
Hey everyone,
Any of you ever feel alone post-op? My dh continues to bring absolute junk food into our house and it is driving me nuts. Last night we were invited to a friends house and they told...
You look great! High five!!!
Talk to your surgeon. I take 14 meds a day that I have had to stop. I have a higher risk of a leak....so my surgeon wanted to be on the safe side. I will not be starting my meds for another week...
Thanks ladies!
I had that pain too! I have a history of kidney stones and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to pass another stone. I went to the doctor and we did the work up and it ended up being residual...
I was on Topamax for my migraines and I had to get off of it. I got a lot of bad side-effects.....limb numbness, seizures, slowed thought process (I knew what I wanted to say, but I wasn't able to...
Wow! Thank you for being an inspiration!
Howdy y'all!
I am almost 3 weeks post-op and have not been able to post on here lately. My surgery went well. However, I did have complications that caused me to be re-admitted to the hospital. I...
That sucks, but hopefully you can get rescheduled soon!
I am on Mirena. Mirena only releases the bc hormone in your uterus. I cannot have any estrogen-based bc due to other medical conditions. My surgeon advised to wait until I am 1 year post-op before...
You look great! I love your shirt btw.
You look amazing!
I am 5 days post-op and most of my incisions don't hurt. However, the 2 bigger incisions on my right side have hurt since day one. Today when I have straigthened my back or when I raise my right arm...
You look great!
I have 5 more days on clear liquids, full liquids for 3 weeks, and then on to pureed foods. My surgeon had to altar my post-op diet a bit bc I have a higher chance of leaking. I can't wait to at...
