officially sleeved on August 31st.



Recommended Posts

I was official sleeved on August 31st. at 4:30 in the afternoon. The doctor ended up doing a biopsy of my liver. I ended up staying in the hospital for two days. Due to me having trouble swallowing the 64 ounces of liquid and70 ounces of Protein. Well I finally got it down, but I'mm sick of the Protein drinks they are to sweet for me. Any suggestions. I need to do this for two weeks.

I already lost 18 pounds total 9 pounds before surgery and 9 pounds after. Can someone show me how to put a tracker on.

Thanks,

C

I had my surgery on the 31st also! I'm down 15 pounds today, post surgery. I just can't seem to force more food in. Nothing tastes good...the gas....the nausea...the gas...did i mention the gas?

Congratulations on your surgery. The first day after surgery I could get in only 4 ounces of Fluid the whole day. I'm on a liquid diet for two weeks. 64 ounces of fluids and 70 gram of Protein.

Whats your diet like? Did you let your doctor know that your having trouble eating? I can't wait for the soft foods portion of this process, yet at the same time I'm afraid. Are you still experiencing pain? I do every 8 hours, if I don't take my pain medication, I feel like I can't get through it. Hopefully this will pass as well.

Take care of yourself and keep in touch.

Congratulations on getting your sleeve. They discovered three tumors on my liver when they did my surgery and removed them as well. I consider that a blessing in disguise.

      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.
