August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?



Recommended Posts

Hey' date=' question for those that have been sleeved-are you guys having a hard time sleeping? I don't think I've slept through the night since my surgery! Frustrating.[/quote']

I slept fine my first night home but think it was because Of the travel home. Haven't slept well at all since. Maybe once I can exercise. I'm tired but just wake up a lot.

Dr Srikanth did my surgery on the 21st. :) good luck with your surgery and you'll be in my prayers.

Thank you!!!! Did everything go smoothly for you? I am starting to get a little nervous, but mostly just want it to be over! How are you feeling now?

I was sleeved there on Monday! They really have a great system there. Sandy, the bariatric coordinator, was very helpful. Hope you're doing well. I met my liquid goal yesterday and I'm 15gms away from hitting Protein. Yay!

Everything went smoothly, no compilations in surgery. I didn't get nervous until they wheeled me back to holding which is the step right before or. But then I lost it, I was just nervous for the pain that would come after I woke up. I could definitely be worse than I feel now, I have some pain from my big incision, but I also skipped this round of pain mess to see how I could handle. Just relax and take it easy, you'll do great. If you have any questions, feel free to pick my brain. :)

I just want to say hello before I pass out. I has my surgery thurs at 12:15 and that was a breeze except that afterwords I had a tiny leek in the staple area which sent a lot of blood into my.....I can't spell it out lol.....abdomen. This causes terrible spasums which lowered my blood pressure and caused mt blood counts to drop.

So this is day four. I've been typing this for a few days lol. I'm excited that I will soon be on the losers bench!

      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.
