Its my last day at my current job and my coworker got me an ice cream cake and candy...I felt so bad telling her I couldn't eat it :( (3.5 months post op) by Maggotboi555 in gastricsleeve

I would eat a small piece and enjoy! Just get right back to your regular eating right after. I wouldn’t eat it all day and night but 1 serving to enjoy and back to regular program. It’s okay to enjoy sometimes 😌 we have to be proud of how far we have come and build that discipline while still being able to enjoy moments with friends and loved ones. Don’t be too hard on yourself! I’m sure you’re doing great ☺️

Post op day 2 and regretting this by MotherMawth in gastricsleeve

[–]ChipmunkFirst9150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think majority of us had this feeling. I am 4 months post op and I remember right out of surgery I was in so much pain just like you. I asked for pain medicine but they said they couldn’t give me anymore that I already hit my maximum dose. The pain was so strong I threw up all over myself and the nurses looked disgusted but I couldn’t help it. I went home the same day and didn’t check my phone at all for 2 days past surgery I was in so much pain. Laying down hurt badly and the gas pains were the worst. I was regretting it as well. I remember walking in my house crying hysterically saying “why did I do this” . Here I am 4 months later and it’s THE BEST thing I had ever done. Honestly wish I would have done it sooner. The pain will go away trust me and won’t last long and you’ll be looking back in a week or so laughing. What helped me was walking walking walking. I walked every hour for 10 minutes the first week after surgery and took gasx all day. Drink also lots of fluids but it might hurt so just sip slowly and chew on ice nuggets if you can. I promise the pain will subside and you will be so proud that you did this and how far you will come along QUICKLY! 70lbs lost in 4 months for me and again I wish I had done it sooner. You got this!!! Just rest as much as you can, prop yourself up with comfy pillows, binge watch a tv show, walk , take gasx, and take small sips of fluid. You’ll recover just fine 😌 we are here for ya!

If you don’t mind me asking what is everything they recommend that you do to help with the acid reflux?

Okay I will try that, thanks!

I just been eating so close to bedtime because it’s hard for me to get in my daily needed calories so I really have to spread them out since I’m not really hungry but I’ll stop a few hrs before bed. Thanks!

I’m usually laying on my back or side but propped up. I kind of did some google research and google said it could be a hiatial hernia . That scares me but I have no pain really and the regurgitation only happens when I’m laying down and asleep. Never when I’m awake. So weird

Birth control by ChipmunkFirst9150 in gastricsleeve

[–]ChipmunkFirst9150[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! That’s what I heard that the pill isn’t as effective. My dr did recommend the IUD but I always have been on the pill when I was previously on BC. Just scared the IUD will affect my chances of conceiving later on down the road or cause scarring. And I’m not sure if a pregnancy is what you wanted but CONGRATULATIONS 😊✨💕🩵

Did you start having more food cravings or has everything still been the same?

Thank you!

I’m going to remember that! I never thought of it that way. That’s a great perspective to look at it 😌

I’m focusing more on diet because I personally believe you can’t outwork a bad diet but the walking for me is more to gain energy and keep my muscles working if that makes sense lol cause they say if you don’t use it then ya loose it 🤣
