Hey July Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Hi friends,

I was sleeved on Tuesday and I'm still in the hospital. The surgeon said everything went really well but ive had a few issues arise. I'll be here definitely tomorrow and possibly Saturday as well. I've had a few set backs but getting better everyday. On weds my bp was super low and I was completely unable to get up. Today was better and I've walked the halls a couple of times so far. I've been getting a phosphorus supplement in my IV because that was low and my hemoglobin is low as well. They did a third blood draw just a little bit ago because if it doesn't go up by tonight, I'll need a transfusion. I'm pretty surprised that I'm having all of these issues come up but I'm hoping they are short term and I'll definitely not need a transfusion. Hope everyone who has gone in already is recovering nicely and those who are on deck are feeling confident and strong.

Oh awesome!! I know, I can't find anyone ( in real life) that has been sleeved by him either! Do you live around there? I live in the Humble/Kingwood area.

      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.
