Just got home, I am finally sleeved!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone :) I am finally home! Everything went well and I was very pleased to hear that I had a "tiny" liver :D Four months of super-low carbs paid off!

I had a hard time the first night and the morning after because I didn't have such a great reaction to the pain meds they were giving me. And the nurse I had kept telling me it was left-over anesthesia and to keep taking my meds. I was ridiculously dizzy and nauseous so I was not able to get up and walk, which meant that the gas pain was pretty bad. The second day my surgeon took me off of the meds and I was able to start sipping Water and moving around. It helped a bunch! The other thing that came up was that every time I would fall asleep my oxygen levels would drop into the high 70's... so apparently I probably have sleep apnea. My surgeon doesn't seem to be too concerned since I am doing the best thing to treat it already by losing weight.

Right now I am pretty sore, but it is manageable. I am taking it easy tonight and just sip, sip, sipping!

Thanks for all the support everyone :D

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
