1 week post op and STARVING
NJRangergirl replied to cmmermaid's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’ll note that just a few days later, I’m belching and burping less and that hungry, empty stomach feeling is pretty much gone. -
1 week post op and STARVING
NJRangergirl replied to cmmermaid's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on 1/4 and I’m also starving. I’m not jumping ahead stages, I’m just eating more of what’s allowed in my current stage. I don’t want to jump ahead because we’re given this progression so that our stomach may heal properly. But even if I do “eat” more, I can’t really handle more than 3 - 4 ounces of anything puréed. -
Just got home from the hospital
NJRangergirl replied to camopink27's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yep. I think that’s gas pain. I’ve been having that too since my surgery. I can say that it doesn’t happen with every sip and I keep reminding myself to sip smaller and slower. -
Any January 2018 Sleevers?

I’d add sugar free throat lozenges. My throat was very sore and my mouth very dry. -

So, I’m just home from the hospital after my surgery. In the middle of a blizzard, I had my surgery. Surgery started sometime between 9:30 & 10. I was up and walking by 2. Gas has been my biggest pain followed by stomach cramping. I got up and walked a lot in the hospital. My throat is very sore and my mouth was incredibly dry yesterday. As they hydrated me, I started to do better. But keeping hydrated is a project. Overall, I feel like I’m doing pretty good. -

Premier Protein Clear
NJRangergirl replied to NewBeginnings2018's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’m in that boat! I bought a whole pack of them and had to throw the one I tried out. I’m actually going to share them at my support group so ppl can taste them before buying them. This and clear isopure taste like soap to me. :-( -

I would recommend trying a few different clear protein drinks before your surgery. I’m sorry to say that I find them to be soapy and very hard to drink. I threw out the Premier protein clear one. I’m struggling through the isopure. I only have to drink clear liquids the day before, the day of, and the day after my surgery. But try and find one you can tolerate. -

The pre-op diet is going. I’m supposed to be at 800 calories a day with lean Protein, vegetables, and Protein Shakes. I’ve been having tomato juice, cucumbers, peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, cauliflower rice, chicken and my big splurge.... a mandarin orange. Anyhow, I’m having a hard time staying under 800. But I haven’t gone over 1000. I’ve been getting dizzy in the afternoons, figure it’s low blood sugar. But I’m pretty committed because, well, I’m committed to this process. -
