    Sleeve November 6th - Looking for a Buddy

    I'm glad you all ate doing good. I am better. Able to eat food and I've vomited twice and dumping syndrome isn't gun. Its hard getting fluids in. But it's nice I ate some steel last night. Brocoll is what makese vomit. And I love it.

    48 hours after surgery - pain when swallowing

    I Had the sleeve Nov 6 the. I SWAlLow and there's a spot it hits and it like puts pressure on my diaphragm for ten sec or so then goes away. Makes taking liquids hard.

    Post op sucks!

    For me it was hell. I got hiccups 3 times for 4 hours strait. Puked 3 times, I was in the hospital 4 days. I wasn't drinking anything. It hurt like hell. Each hiccup pulled do bad. They worried and eventually knocked me out for 2 days so my body could heal. Surgery was Nov 6 the. Now a couple weeks later I'm doing better bit have huge buyers remorse.

      I think fish with a light sauce is the easiest to digest. Chicken is the next easiest to digest in my opinion. I've done chicken tetrazzini, Vietnamese beef stew with carrots. Crock pots help the food cook for a long time and get very soft. Just search on google & enjoy!

      Beef stew sounds so good. But I'm sure I couldn't eat that yet. Refried beans and salsa mixed with a little nacho cheese little much yet.

      I would try the fish in a light sauce first. That's not as dry or dense.

    Sleeve November 6th - Looking for a Buddy

    I also was sleeved the 6th. 4 days in the hospital. Hiccups, neausea and vomiting. I got out Mon night, today I had an over easy egg. I had a hard time. The surgeon came in while I was vomiting and said take your new stomach for a spin. Good times lol. I'm OK just slight dull achy pain water no problem or yogurt, and pureed chicken for lunch. With an isopure chaser.

      If I could say anything, be sure 100% you want to do this, I've had ooh shit moments. But I couldn't keep going the way I was. Its not easy. It hurts, but 1 week out, I am eating yogurt, mashed potatoes, pureed chicken, I had an over easy egg yesterday. It does get better. Practice eating without drinking. That's the hardest to do. Good luck to you. The few days before I was so wound up, I'm here if you want.

      Thanks Robert. I am like you. I can't keep going the way I am. I just wish the day was here as waiting is hard. I fully expect the first 5 days to be tough but it will get better after that. Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing. John

    anyone scheduled for surgery in nov?

    Nov 6 th here. Worried about being able to take my meds, but I have to put it in Gods hands. I'm HIV positive, and the HIV meds are rather large. I can't crush them. And I have to take them. I'm praying I'll be OK. And ask for any thoughts, or ideas. Or if anyone else is worried about taking meds.

      these are pills I cant crush because they are time release, and I cant crush them. its the only thing im worried about is that. the surgeon said ill get them down but its gonna be hard and they will sit there for a while before they pass. I have 3 pills I have to take. its life or death for me if I don't take them.

      I have issues with big pills. Check with your pharmacist to see if there is any other option. I use liquid/or chewable supplements because I just cant swallow meds.

    4. Robert Christopherson

      Robert Christopherson
