6 days post op and my sleeve HATES cold stuff :(



Recommended Posts

Anyone experience this? If so, how long will it last. I DO NOT see me drinking a room temp Protein shake tomorrow....I REALLY wanted that sugar free fudgesicle. I'm on Nexium and Levsin (for spasms). BTW I'm OVER the whole clear liquid thing. Yes I'm whining but its where I am right now. My kids had the most delicious smelling meatballs with brown gravy and mashed potatos. I can't have the meatballs til week 5 :( Sorry for the pity party...Just not having a very good day.

Plus side I'm down 10lbs since surgery on the 16th!

Yes. Its mostly Water for me. I could drink a cold Protein Drink when allowed it after 10 days but now a year out still drink water at room temperature. I did well with hot herb tea and broth early out. It will get better. It's hard for me now to remember how hard it was just after surgery - boring more than anything

My sleeve isn't sensitive to anything, but I get low blood sugar VERY suddenly I am finding. I have to sip pretty regularly all day long to keep from getting some very unpleasant symptoms. I have had enough of thin liquids myself, but still have two weeks to go. At least the weight is coming off.

yes- cold in hosp. was bad...

warm is perfect-

I do add ice to my shake but only a few cubes.

I still pull Water from refrigerator and let it sit on counter to warm.

it feels as if thing will be back to normal soon.

I couldn't do cold at first but around day 9 it got better. I started that evening with a slushie then slowly started to add colder Protein Drinks during the mornings.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
