I'm Sleeved!

Day 6 and I feel 1,000 times better! I drank 63 of 64 ounces of Fluid yesterday and got in 60 of 90 grams of Protein. By far, the best I've done. I got in all my Vitamins and medication as well. I have to get up super early to start my first shake and Vitamin, this is an all day process to give my body what it needs, but consider how I am feeling today it's totally worth every second. Who's surgery is next?

Thanks for all the updates. It has been very helpful. Glad the gas seems to be gone. That is the part that I am so not looking forward to. I sent an email to the anesthesiologist. I wanted to be sure that my recent sinus infection and cough was not going to delay my surgery. I have not heard back from her yet, but she may be in surgery. I hope I don't have any delays and can still be sleeved on April 16. Tomorrow is the ol' scope day so I hope they don't find anything there either.

Keep up the healing and so glad to read the posts of those that are now sleeved. Congratulations. Hope to join you soon!

Thank you so much for sharing. I've been reading tons of information regarding drinking and eating and I'm so nervous I might do something wrong and mess up. Hang in there you are doing an awesome job!

Willosknot-I had a cold about a week before surgery and I was still congested the day of, that was one of the questions everyone asked. "Have you had a cold in the last ten days." I said I was congested. After surgery it felt so good because the congestion was gone, it reappeared a few days later though.

phatdivabbw-That is one of my fears too. The first few days I probably only got down 1/4 of my liquids. By day 3 I was doing better, my nut said to do about 4oz a half an hour. With Protein Drinks that's really all I can do because they are so thick, sports drinks and Water sometimes go down faster.

Hi,

I wanted to let everyone know I was sleeved on Wednesday. I came home yesterday evening and just felt like getting on here. The pain is not too bad, they just sent me home on Tylenol. The worse part has been the gas pains and gurgles, I was so glad to see others have the gurgles too. They feel so crazy.

I am getting in Water and G2 thinking about trying a G3, it has protien in it, but I have been nauseous and taking Reglan and Phenergen, which seems to help. I just took a shower and that made me feel a little human.

So that's my update. Will be so glad when I feel a little more normal and the gas pains go away.

Congrats gettinskintae, the gas will go away soon. You can try a warm compress. I still gurgle but I guess I'm just used to it so they are not as awkward anymore. My students will love them when I go back next week though!
