I got my sleeve



Recommended Posts

I am 2 days post op and doing well. Spent 1 night in the hospital. Pain is not an issue liquid lortab is working well every 4-5 hours I take the smallest amount and I am good. Some gas but not a real problem, finally released some from the south end if you know what I meantongue.gif, I am on a full liquid diet and am doing ok same with the sipping of h2o I think I will get in 40-48 oz, not what they want but considering I am 2 days out I think that is good. I am just laying around taking it easy, getting up and walking around every hour or so. I find I feel better by the hour. Now getting ready for my daughters sleeve on 10/13/11

Today is day 4, Some pain in one incision area but only with some movement. Tolerating my full liquid diet well, Made up some sheets on the computer where I can keep track of when I took my pain med, how much Protein and liquids I am getting in with what time. It is helping me stay on track. Have some fatigue but hopefully that will go away soon

      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.
