Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery Update



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys!!

I did it!! I finally met my Sleevina!!! LOL... She's doing good!!! I have a little gas, but nothing excruciating.. I came home today right before 3 pm.. Trying to get my fluids down.. Can't stand broth right now, so Crystal light and Water...

Still trying to get used to that feeling of having to sip, sip, sip.... The little roadblock that happens when I drink too fast SUCKS!!!

I'm really sleepy and cold.. but, no temp or anything... I did have to leave the hospital w/ some BP meds...my BP wouldn't come down enough for them not to prescribe something.. I think it was the morphine.. which I didn't get a lot of after the first night..

I'll update more in the next few days.. I'm going to take a nap...

CONGRATULATIONS, favoredone!! I had my surgery yesterday, so I have you beat by one day. :-) I'm glad you're feeling well. I haven't had any major problems either. I'm having the same issues you're having with drinking. I discovered that I don't know how to sip. I'll learn ... hopefully sooner rather than later. Continue on your road to recovery!!

Yay Tina! I had to learn how to sip too.. I was a gulper... The time will literally fly by and you will have a hard time remembering this part! Its only a few short weeks and you will be able to eat food in small amounts slowly, but real food. You are doing great!

Congrats girly. I had the same problems as you, hurting when drinking too fast and blood pressure went up after surgery and they prescribed me blood pressure meds. Actually I didnt take the bp meds, I knew it was the surgery and my bp is really good normally. When I went to my 1 week checkup yesterday they my blood pressure was perfect so it wasnt a bad thing that I didnt take them after all. I'm glad you're doing well. Have a happy Holiday.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
