Had my sleeve surgery Monday



Recommended Posts

Just had my sleeve surgery done Monday. Already off of my diabetes meds. I still feel sore and kind of crappy. I guess I am worried about complications. I don't want any and I certainly don't want infection, so I am being very cautious. Drank my first Protein Shake today. It went down fine. I only experienced nausea twice, and it was the second day after surgery while trying to gulp down pain meds and too much Water (my mistake). So far, so good! Please pray for me that I will recover with no complications...My prayers are with all of you, hoping you and I have successful stories to tell in a few months!

I feel pretty good still have some pain of course! I am guessing the procedure is pretty much done the same for everyone, I have 6 incinsions that are still healing but all in all I feel pretty good!

Congratulations!

i'm a monday ahead of you..

i feel pretty good most of the time. Most liquids are sitting well most days. Biggest problem is what I think is an internal stich that is pullling. I basicly only have that one spot that causes pain. Feeling human again is great... Pretty soon you'll feel perfectly normal.

Also had my sleeve surgery Monday, Aug 22. Feeling pretty good, no nausea since Thursday, no throwing up since Wednesday. Getting fluids down cautiously but not great quantity. Little pain, just discomfort when moving, but taking Lortab elixir pain meds which seems to result in really weird-assed dreams and prolonged feelings of being "loaded". (Don't really like that feeling as much as I did 30 years ago--who knew?) Also had problems with referred anesthesia pain in my shoulder, which hopefully has gone away. Has anyone else had those issues? Going to talk to my doctor Monday, and hopefully back to work next week. Lost 16 pounds in two weeks.

I got sleeved on Tuesday, 8/23. I'm having problems getting liquids in, even Water is hard for me to drink. I'm sipping it as slow as I can but it feels like heart burn going down. Is this normal? Am I still sipping too fast?

      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.
