I'm sleeved! Never thought it would happen



Recommended Posts

I had to stay in hospital a few more days because the drain was still producing Fluid and the xrays were in conclusive but got the all clear today.

I'm so excited to start my new life and so grateful to be given this chance to get my health back.

I have no scales around so have no idea what i weigh and for the first time in my life i don't care! I know that after a week of hardly any food (first four days was nil by mouth) i can't help but lose and it will be all downhill from here. Well apart from a few bumps in the road and hold ups but at least i know from experience after reading here that i can expect that and not to worry, it's normal.

I don't have any pain and feel amazing, i have more energy than before surgery.

I'm going to catch up on all the posts i missed and i'll be back with all the questions!

Thanks my sleeve sisters, it really means a lot to me to have your support. I only hope i do as well as most of the people on this site.

I've been on clear broth for the last 3 days and Jello, today i got to eat pureed carrot, potato, and chicken but only 2 teaspoons every 2 hours. So far so good but i do seem to get a lot of hiccups an hour after eating.

For some reason i have a back ache today, could that be related to surgery? I didn't have any of the wind pain that some talk about so i don't think it's that. Maybe its because i've been doing a lot more today seeing as its my first day out of the hospital.

If i have more questions should i post them here or start a new thread each time. I'm kinda new at this!

      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.
