Sleeved: Beni And Nae-Nae



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone they started my surgery somewhere round 1:30pm yesterday. My inscisions are doing great almost, no pain or swelling. I do have a boat load of the gas trapped under my diaphragm though that we just can't seem to get unstuck. It is causing esophageal spasms that feel like labour pains in the chest. I have cried off and on all night. I didn't even do that when I had a baby natural.

We found out that I was allergic to morphine when I crashed and stopped breathing. The veins in my arm looked as if someone had taken a magic marker and traced them. None of the healthcare workers had ever seen anything like it. They swapped my pain killer to Dillodid and put me on Valumn to try to paralyze the spasms. They are keeping me on Zofron 24/7 because the meds make me nauseated.

Other than that, Nae-Nae and I are doing just fine. We have walked a mile, used the restroom three times, had two cups of ice and right now we are getting ready to have a leak test. Ill keep everyone posted about my progress. Ps,everyone please over looolk my drunk typing, because I am flying high

I feel ya!!! Had mine Monday early evening. Best thing that helped with that horrible painful gas was having my husband rub in circles on my back. The burps come in waves!:)

      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.
