Hey May And Others Sleevers! Help With Question. :)



Recommended Posts

My husband sleeved on May 31st is doing awesome! Active, walking, working etc. He has his 2 week post op appt today. Secretly I am worried that he is eating (drinking) too much. Examples: Easily drinks EAS Protein Drink in 5-10 minutes, a bowl of lobster bisque in a restaurant in 15 minutes, bottle of flavored water in 10 minutes, sf pudding cup in 5 minutes. He tells me that he has no discomfort. Also, he watches the food network channel ALOT... he did that before. Tell me what you think of this. You people are awesome!

If this is all at once yes then I'd be worried but if it is over the course of a day I may not be that worried- He will however the more he heals and the tmore he increases to solid like food have no choice but to slow down- the liquids go down pretty easy for most- he is lucky he doesnt get nauseated or vomit because of eating that fast.

If you are monitering his intake that much- is he assuming any responsiblity as well?? You have to remember that each doctor has his/her own post op diet- personally lobster bisk is a very rich soup- at 2 weeks out I could muster about 5 tsp in about 10 minutes- if it continues he may want to talk to the dietician.

I personally am addictied to the food network both before and after surgery- I love to cook and I love to learn- I dont know why that would be a problem....

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
