Anyone with Surg between Nov 13th and Nov 18th



Recommended Posts

Hi fellow sleevers - just found this group and wanted to jump in. I was sleeved in Tucson Az on Nov 17th. I went back to work on Monday and am also feeling fairly sluggish. Got to start with an egg last night - sure felt good to eat something "solid" after liquids for so long. I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you all! Beth

Welcome to the group Beth. I was also sleeved on the 17th and returned to work on Wednesday. Although I have to admit, I didn't do much. Just felt tired and sluggish! I did take the B12 this am and I am hoping that I will start seeing some energy come back!

Hey there Sassy...I was sleeved on Nov. 18th & am feeling much better now! I am finally able to eat without pain & can just about eat anything I want...just NOT much of it! :) I am having to take Nexium for the acid in my stomach, but other than that I am good. I will be starting Curves program on Jan. 3rd & so far I've lost 30 pounds. I LOVE my sleeve! Hope all is goin well with you. Keep us posted!

Hi Rhonda! I'm so glad this thread is still active.

That is so great that you've already got your workout plan together and congrats on your weight loss!! Eating is getting much easier for me too but I'm still learning exactly what I can and can't handle. Finally had scrambled eggs this morning...oh my were they yummy!! I was even able to get some down with hot sauce...I'm Mexican and having to wait another two or four weeks to add spicy food is a KILLER! My doc has me on Prevacid for four months too. How long will you have to take Nexium?

Happy 2011, everyone! :grouphug:

Sassy,

Not real sure how long I'll have to stay on the Nexium but I would rather stay on it permanently than to go thru the pain of trying to eat without it. It's almost as though I'm scared to get off of it.

I LOVE mexican food & that's been the hardest thing of all is to avoid spicy foods and I've MISSED chips & salsa like you wouldn't believe! I am hoping in a few more weeks I'll be able to eat a little bit of Mexican food & be happy! :)

Hope you continue to do well. Let me know if I can help in any way!

I will DEFINITELY reach out. Just wanted you to know that you've already motivated me...I've been checking out the fitness classes offered at my local park district and found one that's giving a free week of Jazzercise the first week of January. WooHoo! I'll be going to that and seeing what else I can fit into my schedule.

      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.
