I was sleeved on the first. I don't have hunger, but my mind and my tongue remember how good everything tastes and I'll crave a taste.

June 8th sleeve...things no one told me
mchap25 replied to work2Bskinny's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Once I got home I used a heating pad on my back and a microwaveable heat pack around my shoulders. It helped the gas pain so much. -
Just got sleeved on Monday how long does the pain last!

mchap25 replied to HopeandAgony's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I didn't have to do pulmonary or sleep test. I did have to see a social worker and cardiologist. I had to have 6 months of pre-op stuff. BCBS/PPO here. -
Good luck to both of you.

So glad you shared! You don't have to wait to be an inspiration, you already are!

I do! I've been wondering the same thing though!

Looking for my June 1 buddy's ?

I didn't get shakes in until day 5. It's a struggle. I overdid it yesterday and have felt gassy and bloated all night. Backing off tomorrow and taking it slower. Sleeve is teaching me what to do and not do! -
Oh no, what kind of sick?

Day Five...hunger
mchap25 replied to TheOnlyDuchess's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hungry here too on day 7. Had some watery potato soup tonight (2 tsp) and it made such a difference. I have since been able to get n more fluids and protein. -

My larger incision is right side too. They must decide when they get in there and see the anatomy. -
How long did your incisions take to heal?

Wonder why my doc is so strict? Nothing over 10 for 5-6 weeks -

How high did your fever get? I run a low one every evening or night. I've been pushing more fluids at that time in case it's dehydration. -
What soft food can you have? I'm 5 days out and can't wait for some soft stuff!
-
Take what they offer to help. It will get better. You can do this!

So glad for you! I'm a day ahead of you and doing well too. -
Just had my sleeve yesterday.
mchap25 replied to cariive250's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Heating pad helped for me as well. -
I'm right there with you! Got 10 oz of protein yesterday but not enough fluids and started to show some dehydration. Just doing fluids today and am able to handle more in an hour. Will try protein again when I get over half my fluids in. Slow and steady I guess!

Congrats!!

Sleeved 05/11/15 and still having pain and trouble staying hydrated
mchap25 replied to teecee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree, what you describe are reasons listed on my discharge sheet for calling the doc. I was sleeved Monday. If I don't get a certain amount in I'm supposed to call the next morning and they will do IV therapy. -

My 5 year old has been a challenge as well. I'm doing ok with liquids, but can't tolerate protein yet. What is everyone else drinking? -
Gastric Sleeve 24 hours ago...? stomach/esophageal spasms
mchap25 replied to simonla1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with Chris on the position. I have to sit or stand straight up while drinking. Whenever I lie down I have pain in the sternum area.
