Julia I am 1 week and 2 days post op and I went in at 203 and came out at 217 if you can believe that. I drank the protein drink at hospital and at home a day and then got really nauseated from Friday night til Sunday morning so had NOTHING to drink at all and when I left for the hospital I was...

I am back, I was done last Monday, Dec 3, got out of hospital on Thurs Dec 6th and got ill on Friday night and continued to be very very nauseated until Sunday when I went to the hospital and had a CT scan which was normal, was admitted and just on clear fluids and IVs. GREAT hospital, GREAT...

thanks everyone. I can only do the best I can and that is what I am doing. Have some problems getting in fluids and protein, trying to get the protein in first and it is taking most of day to get in the one protein drink. I need 60 gr of protein at the least and so far getting in 32 in a...

Just thought I would tell you that at the hospital the day 1 after surgery they washed my hair with what looked like a shower cap put on my head, rubbed it on my head which caused sudsing and then after a nice head massage took off the shower cap and dryed my hair with a towel and it worked...

how do you know it is gas? what are the symptoms? are you talking while you eat, are yu swallowing air when you swallow? some people burp alot before surgery, so those people will burp even more after surgery. that is something you have to train yourself not to do,IF that is the problem.

i would talk to the doctor about the bleeding, esp late in the game. what did you mean about gaining back 3 pounds you should? YOU should not gain weight back, LOSE weight is the name of the game.

I am 3 days post op, I gained 14 pounds from IVs that were used to raise my blood pressure which was dangerously low and a slightly collapsed lung which is also ok too. Hope all will go well for us both. Hang in there nd sure it will get better soon.

HAD surgery on Monday, had a couple of complications, but I am home and ok!!!! I was found to have a large hiatal hernia which was unknown so was repaired and then the surgery was done, I got a small collapse of one lung which is 0k now. The worst part was severe pain in my chest and...

Do let us know how it works, sounds like you shower, get out and towel off and then put this shampoo on and leave on and then back in shower to wash it out but if it works why not!

mmcCarthy you have lost weight, are you hungry or just missing foods like chips and ice cream and cheesecake etc.? From what i read, it does get better. My friend who did it said she is so glad she did it and others I have personally spoken with are all glad to have done it but they are a...

Missk64 you look great to me at least, when did you last update your weight since you do not hardly look like you aer 241 pounds. Extra skin can be dealt with and sometimes it is deemed medically necesssary so insurance pays for it. I worry about that too but feel I will cross that bridge...

Update, there was some push back and I was told, "you don't choose your pilot in and airplane and you can not choose your anesthesiologist" That if I wanted that I could go to a local hospital that is more likely to be able to accomodate my request. I did not like that answer so looked up the...

The website Bigtallsis mentioned is missing some infor should be worldaccordingtoeggfaceace.blogspot.com GREAT website for recipes for sure.

Barnababy You there and if so how are you? We all worry about you and others not doing so well, so would love to hear from you!!

Best advice would be to see your doctor to check the outlet in your pouch IF you are still having problems getting in the proteins and not losing weight. I am soon to have surgery so am not talking from experience but I am a medical practitioner. Believe it or not I have very little experience...

Thanks Pat, I do remember you saying pills smaller than M+Ms but the HSN pill is larger. I was not sure if they can be split, or dissolved well in a pouch and are not irritants. I will ask my surgeon but not sure he knows about Hair, Skin, Nails but will ask. Will do what I can to not lose...

How do you take Hair skin and Nails after the surgery, crushed? I have some Biotn Shampoo bought at Vitamin Shoppe, do not know if it really works but thought why not try. You put it on a wet head, massage it in and that is it, rinse it out like any shampoo. Not sure your hair shaft can absorb...

I am with you, sleepy anxiety but getting sleep is important so I try to calm myself. It will all be for the best, expect to have problems at first with the changes and then if you do not it will be a good suprise and if you do, it is expected. At least that is how I am doing.

They are trying to defat your liver so Carnaton Breakfast. I can tell you I was starved the first day, and when I drank Carnation it was nasty compared to the other Protein drinks I have been drinking. EAS Carbo Control I find tolerable, and there is Body Fortress at Walmarts and I bought...
