My surgery was may 1st 2013 and I weighed 325lbs and I'm down to 299lbs in just 2weeks!!!

Surgery first thing in the morning I'm now definitely nervous!!! The hardest part is being in the hospital away from my kids especially my 18 month old. I hope it goes by fast.

You are lucky getting all your vitamins in I'm only getting them in once a day they gag me and make me puke in my mouth it's nasty. I hate chewables. I go to the doc today so ill find out what they have to say. I also tried that same French vanilla protein and hated it. I just ordered sugar free carnation and I have plain injury to add to it. I can't find a shake that I like I tried a bunch and have spent a lot of money. I'm not getting all my protein in right now either. I'm not aloud to have puréed food until Wednesday and I can't wait!!!

Half hour

It takes me a 1/2 he to drink 6 oz shake

You can have cream soup add some water to it and strain chicken out. I noticed I drink more if I add ice to my water. I like it real cold now for some reason.

What are some good protein shakes? I have tried two now and I can't find any that tastes as good as the HMR ones did. I guess they don't recommend them after the 9 day diet.

Ya I can barley wipe when I pee!! I can't imagine having a bowel yet. I can barley bend need helping getting out of bed maybe its because I have seven incisions idk. That is weird we all have a diff amount.

I was sleeves may 1st as well just got home today. I was glad to stay 2 nights in the hospital I needed to rest and knew I wouldn't get much at home as I have 7 year old and a 1 year old. I could only have water the first day and by lunch time the second day I could have broth which filled me up I had jello but couldn't eat it then for dinner I had cream broth n protein shake. Today I had sf pudding I only could eat 3 bites cuz my protein shake filled me up. Definatley in pain it does get better each day and walking helps a lot!! I have 7 incisions and only 2 hurt .

I didn't get that pain pump. I'm still in hospital get to leave today surgery was Wednesday.

I got sleeved may 1st. Still In the hospital and doing good. When you wake up after surgery your in a lot of pain they will give you meds through an iv. Later on that same night I was able to start on pills cut up though and they last longer. I did get nauseated every time I got up and they can give you meds for that. I got to have jello and broth for lunch thank goodness because I had been on water for two days and was hungry. I didn't even eat all the jello you get full fast so take your time eating and drinking. Also you will feel better each time you walk it helps get the has out and sitting up. Each time will get easier and easier.

I'm doing good surgery went great. I will say be prepared to be in a lot of pain the fist day especially it does get better. You need to make yourself walk you will feel so much better getting the gas out and sitting up. I feel better after I walk. The beds suck so walking helps my back too. Today I was able to eat jello and soup broth and for dinner I had cream broth. Yesterday I was just on water!! I did get a protein shake for dinner but didn't drink that much of it as I got full from the soup. It's better to eat slow too.

I will and thank you. I'm so glad I joined this forum. It feels good to know other people know what I'm going to be going through. Especially where I love idk anyone else that has the sleeve. There was two people in my class that want to get it but I'm ahead of them they needed to get approved first.

Yeah I'm excited are you? I'm on the liquid diet. I look forward to starting a new chapter in my life.

I started on Monday and I've had a few crackers on mom and a few pretzels Tuesday I know it's bad. Back on track today I know I have too.

What is the pre op bloodwork for? I've already done a bunch of blood work during the 6 month process so I just wondering. I started my liquid diet yesterday and I did cheat I had 4 crackers because I could not get the hunger to go away even with the shakes I hope I didn't ruin it.

Good luck and have a speedy recovery

Best of luck to you and have a speedy recovery

Why does your hair thin when you have the surgery? I'm just finding this out. I have my surgery may 1st however this week I'm suppose to get a keratin treatment to straighten it. Is that a bad idea? I do every couple months.

I start mine tomorrow for 9 days. My doctor said I can only have the shakes and liquid such as broth.

Upstate ny

Anyone been sleeved by dr.hill in upstate ny?

I'm wondering in the first couple of days if you get really sick and can't keep down liquids or vitamins what do you do?

I went to kinney's and got centrum chewable vitamins and they had b12 vitamins that dissolve under your tongue. I have not tried them yet as my surgery is not til may 1st. I also got calcium citrate chewable vitamins.
