Any January Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm back and i'm sleeved!! thanks to all who said a prayer for me, it must have helped, things went really well. I had some pain the first two days but that was kept under control with meds, by the third day i felt great. "They kept me in two days longer because my drain was producing too much and the xrays they did were inconclusive but i know everything was fine.

How many of us have been sleeved this month so far? How is everyone doing?

I'm so excited to start my new life and re-claim my health!

Well, 4 days post sleeve and all is well, spent extra day in Hospital because of snow conditions in NJ. I had a Hiatial Hernia repaired at the same time. No pain from surgery, just some really bad gas pains from anastesia. Not taking any pain meds, just my regular medication. Surviving the liquid diet so far, havnt weighed my self will wait till Dr visit next week.. Please keep in touch and good luck, so far I am glad I did this.

Good for you, glad to hear that at 4 days out you are happy and doing well. I am in NY so I know all about the snow right now. How many days did you spend in hospital in all?

Take care and keep us updated!

      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.
