I had my sleeve done on the 23rd as well, pain gets better every day:) but I find its hard to eat my soft foods, protein shakes are had to get down. I too feel s fullness on my left side below my heart when I eat or drink. Learning what all the sensations are us a trick, lol.

post op instructions
kidrn72 replied to kathyhalls's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My instructions are a bit different. I get to start soft foods 3-6 days post op. if I tolerate with out nausea then day seven I can add a few more soft foods in. -
Anyone out there an RN?
kidrn72 replied to conshy416's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in Missouri, pediatric ER nurse. I had my sleeve 1/23 so I'm 3 days post op. I was planning on taking 2 wks but with the weight restrictions I will have to take 3-4 wks. Thankfully I have the time built up to take paid LOA. I don't want to go back unless I'm 100% ready:) -

I am 2 days post op, got to go home yesterday:) I has less pain in the hospital because that gave me 3 different pain meds but only sent me home with one. I'm on clears only until Sat then I can try soft foods like yogurt and cream of wheat. My belly is still swollen and trying to walk the gas out! Over all I'm doing well:) -

Good luck to those of you having surgery tomorrow:) my prayers are with you for a healthy recovery! -
I use sugar free syrups to help favor them( the kind in the coffee section) . I am at the point i dislike any protein drinks after 11 days of them But I try to make them palatable. It is hard when you have to drink them daily. Hang in there

pre_op liquid diet. Im starving
kidrn72 replied to Fair2bslimLady's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on day 10 of 14 days of liquid pre op diet and it does get easier. the first 4 days were the hardest. I find chicken broth ( I use the reduced sodium Swansen's the best). I am allowed SF popsicles and crystal light drinks along with Water. The only down fall I have is no energy and brain fog. You are not alone and you CAN DO IT!! url=http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com][/url] -
I am on day 5 of my liquid pre op diet, it gets better. The first 3 days are the hardest but today I have energy and I really feel ok:). My sleeve is scheduled for 1/23!
-
Hi everyone:) I just came across this form yesterday and am excited to know there is one! I am scheduled for my sleeve 1/23/13 so it is coming up soon and I know I need support other than the once a month meeting at my surgeons office. I am doing my doctor required pre op diet now which is 4 protein shakes per day plus 64oz of fluids. It is has been a struggle to not eat when everyone around you is living normal.
