New to forum: Sleeved on 9/21



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I am a newbie here, but I wanted to drop a line to introduce myself.

I was just sleeved this Monday, and so far so good. I am surprised how good I am feeling, and I am not having much pain at all. Just a little bit of pulling around a couple of the port areas.

I am looking forward to getting to meet and chat with some of you!

Welcome to a wonderful site! I was also sleeved on Monday 9/21. I am doing well -- had a little trouble getting it all the fluids on Day 3 but it is getting easier everyday.

getting in the fluids is fun. I have done pretty well with it so far. I just have to keep reminding myself to sip, sip, sip!

I am glad to be on the losing path with you!

welcome! Glad you found us.

Just keep trying to sip regularly, and you will notice that it does get easier.

Welcome to the family MDGibbs. Day 2 post-op was my worst day - but it wasn't totally awful. Everyday after that just gets better and better.

You are doing great. You are a bit ahead of me, but you give me inspiration. My sleeve on 02/20/2010. I'm early to this process, and adjusting to the sleeve. Keep us informed and share tips on how to ajust. Thanks.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
