She will be ok for sure, this is a blip in her course so just relax and be with your sister and encourage her etc. She will be ok!!!

WOW, that poor kid. I think it means that the part that was twisted and could not be untwisted due to scar tissue so they took that out or left i but it is now not functioning and they hooked up her intestines around it. She will be fine but will need to start over with diet etc. Glad she got...

1500 is the cal /day they give guys at my center so not sure if you are a guy or gal but if a guy, sounds right and if gal, too much. Eat less calorie dense foods I guess would be my answer. What exactly are you eating?

IT may be that you stay for bowel rest and clear fluids OR Nothing by mouth. It matters on the cause, your doc will know. ARe you vomiting? You sound pretty ok if you can get on internet. Last week I was in hospital and last thing I thought about was internet so assuming you feel ok but not...

12 days out and my upper abdomen still looks as if it were blown up, when does it go down? NO pain really just bloated! I cannot drink any of my protein drinks( different brands etc.) they make me very nauseated. I have been trying to eat a yogurt(Yoplait 100 with fruit in it), and drink lots...

OH I am sure many WLS patients have gotten pregnant. You will be fine but will gain some baby weight but now have it under control to lose after the baby.

I guess I would want to know how you know it is gas and not a problem with the connection of stomach to esophogus. Protein drinks create a lot of gas, so much so that I get nauseated after a few sips of protein drink. Sip means barely enough to swallow, not half fill mouth of fluids. Gas-X...

HI Pat99 I am on day 10, my book says pureed foods on day 16 IF all is going well. The reason I was asking is because dragonfly had her surgery the same day as I and she is doing the pureed foods by the looks of it so wanted to know what her Center was instructing her. I did a teaspoon of...

GREAT to hear and let us know how you are doing. Expect to have the gas pains and use your pain meds often so you are ahead of it, believe it, it works and the pain goes away about day 4 for the most part. We all will be thinking of you tomorrow, and "see" on the other side of this journey...

Glad to hear it, phew, that was scary! What are you eating now(I am obscessed with what others can eat) LOL

dragonfly Does your center say you can have pudding, sugarless etc. I was supposed to be on only water type things and Protein Drinks until Next Week but I got really hungry and the protein drinks now scare me due to the profound nausea I had so ate a vanilla Yoplait 2X protein yogurt slowly...

Our paperwork says to start your Vitamins and Calcium immediately at home BUT in hospital they discharged me with paperwork saying to hold off 5 days to take Calcium but take the vits when getting home. Update on Yogurt, it was fine so had another today. I feel I need some protein...

You had your surgery on the same day as I did. They eliminate part of your stomach being attached and that part of the stomach has all kinds of hormones and they make us depressed and hungry. SO expect to be a little depressed and full feeling. I have bitten the bullet I will not be getting...

dragonfly11 so for how long did the gas in shoulder's last. Mine got better on postop day 4 and 5 as I lay on my sides. In hospital I was on my back at all times. I have not needed pain meds since Friday evening BUT I have never been so nauseated for so long in my long life. NO MORE OF THAT...

you need to call your doctor and speak with the doc. It may be that they will bring you in for an ultrasound or abdomenal CT scan, neither are painful. I got readmitted, i was done the 3rd, got out on 6th and went back in on the 9th and again discharged yesterday. Things happen so you want to...

BamaBaby How are you doing? You were regretful and now ??? I had read your post op post about lung collapse and said, hmm that won't happen to me, BUT it did, collapse of lung but not bad enough to have a chest tube, NOT GOING THERE!! I feel your pain, it is barbaric and the only way it...

GREAT you are on your final lap! You will be fine, just do as they tell you, walk as much as you can, use your pain meds, drink your fluids when they offer them as much as possible and you are on your way to a new life!!! Let us know as soon as you can how you are doing!

I was scared silly but really decided I needed to do this and did it. I was iffy until I was on the OR table :) Do you have a pal to do this with that will support you and stay after your surgery to help do your diet etc.? You are doing a great thing for your body and it took a while. The...

Did you all your doctor about blood in stools? That could be from the ED experience but it could be a problem, DO NOT WAIT TIL NEXT WEEK please, make a call to doc.

I put up a message, I was readmitted on Sunday after Friday night until Sunday without any fluids of any sort, I was so nauseated I got that "what in hell did I do to myself" feeling. I got a CT scan and it came back that all plumbing was working, they kept me and just clear fluids, home today...
