Officially sleeved and trying to recover



Recommended Posts

Okay Im on the loser's bench finally! I cant believe this finally is done! Surgery went great but recovery isnt a cake walk. I didnt feel any shoulder pains but still having gas pain in my abdomin. I did have some nausea a few times in the evening and threw up once due to the blood and bile not sitting well in my stomach. The nurses were so wonderful and they are taking great care of me. I hope I can pass the rest of the gas asap. I am sipping and walking though lol. Thanks for all the support ladies!

Thank you to all of you ladies for all the well wishes. I am trying to get that gas out! its in my lower abdomin and its hard to get it out. I have a heating pad on my tummy and im walking a few minutes every hour or so. Did anyone use more than recommended gas x recommendation of 4 chewables in 24 hrs?? I am tempted to use more.

I had a pretty tough first few days with my sleeve as well... but just know that it DOES get better! Just keep walking & sipping as much as possible w/o getting too nauseous! I was sooooo nauseous the first couple days and had a bought here and there during the first week home, but took advantage of the anti-nausea medicine the doc sent me home with! Now I'm two weeks out and starting my blended diet tomorrow! Yeahhhh!

Welcome to the losers bench!!

      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.
