Sleeved on Monday :)



Recommended Posts

Woohoo! Got sleeved on Monday, feeling pretty good today. Monday I was pretty much out of it the rest of the day. Every day since has gotten better. I came home yesterday (with a stupid JP drain - I hate it). I am on full liquids now. So far, everything is great. I am expecting some not so great days, but right now, I havent had any yet. YAY!!!!!

So glad to hear you are home and fairing pretty well!

I asked my doctor for no drain tube because I am allergic to latex and he agreed -No Tube for me! I was so glad not to have to deal with that thing. Most people have similar experiences as you are having.

Concentrate on getting fluids in, walking, and resting!

Hugs

Congratulations! It will only get easier as long as you follow your doctors recommendations and not try to push your self into solids too quickly. Full liquids was easy for me, once I went into solids it took some adjustment to figure out my limits. My tip is to always use small food containers (4oz or 6 oz) so you do not over eat.... You will love the results! :D

Congrats Katmagmom and Samantha. Welcome to the losers bench. Yes, every day should be a little better. Until you are so freaking great you just don't know what to do with yourself.

I also was sleeved monday. Having a little more pain then I would like but hanging in there. I tried my Protein Shake today and that did not go well I think I found what the term sliming is an that,was only about 2oz so I am not getting much Protein in at all an just getting in tiny sips.

I too had my sleeve monday, and now 4 days out I am having so much trouble getting all my fluids in but its getting easier. Never thought I would be happy about being welcomed to a losers bench, LOL. Just found this site tonight but so far its been very helpful to see I am not alone in some of my struggles.

      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.
