August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

[Slenderella 153]

Is anyone moving to full liquids this week?!? I started yesterday and I can tell you it's a challangeI...I'm finally full, all the time. I'm sure it will get better with time, but it's so odd to take a few bites or pudding and fell stuffed. I forgot lunch today, looked at the clock at 3 and realized it was time for Protein. I guess each step is going to require diligence on my part not to forget to take care of my tummy.

Y'all let me know how it's going with intake and how you are feeling.

Big hugs to all our August sleevers!!!

[pinkbwlr16 20]

I start tomorrow for pre-op. Its definitely a challenge. Good luck with everything, it will get easier as time goes on.

[mczoo33 72]

OK....so I hit a bump in the road...I'm still in the hospital. I had a pin hole leak...n had to go back in surgery Wednesday.... the day I should've went home. I am feeling a lot better n should be home by Sunday. At least it was found before I went home....out of the thousands of surgeries he has performed.. I am his first leak.

so glad they found it to before you was sent home hang in there

[mczoo33 72]

So hope all todays sleevers is doing good and all our past sleevers in there postop... We only have one up for tommorrow then wow its a huge week next week again....

Best of wishes and hoping all goes well with you and you have a fast recovery.....

Yep, I'm up Thursday. I'm on a 2 Meal Replacement diet and have been for weeks. All liquids starts Wednesday and I am going to do the bowel cleansing with magnesium citrate on Tuesday after work. Not required by my surgeon, but the nurse said it can't hurt. Nervous and anxious!

So glad Ms. Jessica is taking good care of you. tell her Hi from Joyce and Mr. Mark. Glad to hear from you and that you are up and moving. Hope that you have a good night. They come in all night long to check on you and keep up on your meds. Hopefully you will get some rest too Walking the halls helps when you get the gas pains after you get ice chips (tomorrow).

Thank u so much..for ur kind words!!!

[dreamnslim2012 15]

Congrats to all those sleeved this week! I was sleeved in Dallas on Monday and am also just resurfacing. My surgery went very well and now that some of that gas pain is going away feel like I am finally on my way to my happy "new" self. I am still having a really hard time getting all my liquids down each day and learning my "signals". The hunger one is loud and clear the "full" one, not so much yet and my chest starts hurting. I figure this means I've gone too far. I am really looking forward to getting to the Phase 2 diet next week when I can start adding in some tolerable Protein and feeling more satisfied.

We're on our way!!

Not sure how I missed this Aug. group so far, but here goes. . . My surgery was Aug 7 in Dallas. It was performed by Dr. Nicholas at Forrest Park Medical Center. I had a pretty serious nausea reaction to the anesthesia so I had to stay 2 nights in the hospital. Home now on Dr. Nick's 3 week super thin to clear liquid diet. Sippin some iced tea and starting to feel a little stronger.

Sleeved yesterday morning around 7:30am. My experience so far hasnt been so bad. The doc told me after surgery that they found a hiatal hernia and a little disease on the liver which was from being obese and possibly any medicines. Im still terribly sore from gas and wishing i could have something to drink. I started walking right after i left the recovery room and have been walking off and on since. The incision sites are a little sore and only hurt when i sit up too long.

I think the bed is making the back pain worse. Im able to burp a little but none from the other end. Im really sensitive to smells and had to request another nurse asst b/c the one i had bathed in this awful cologne.

Anyway i would love to hear some positive experiences for the Aug 10th sleevers!
