Oct Sleevers

You guys are doing so great!

Surgery in 2 days for me. At this point I'm not looking forward to it, just want it over with. I'm scared as hell about going under the knife too.

You will be fine the hardest part was getting the IV put in. I remember laying on the surgery table talking to the nurses about what I'm going to buy when I lose weight and the next thing I knew I was waking up asking the nurse I saw when am I going to have surgery and she said its over you are in recovery. You will be fine will be praying for you and all sleevers.

Great you will be fine. I'm scooting over now saving you a seat on the loser bench. I was sleeved 10/17 and the hardest part was the IV

I was sleeved on 10/17 as well... only down 7 lbs since surgery... I think it is from lack of enough excercise. I am getting a new treadmill this week so that should help some. Still happy the scale is moving down.

How much Fluid are y'all getting in? Just curious because I'm lucky to get 10 oz a day of Gatorade ( that's all I'm drinking per my dr) and I have a new o set of nausea and cramping. I'm thinking dehydration but can't get ahold of dr. ???

Getting fluids in has been the toughest part for me so far as well.

Post-op day 2 (my day of discharge from the hospital), I only got in 6 oz of fluid (plus the 250 cc remaining from the IV that morning)

Post-op day 3 only could manage 14 oz

Post-op day 4 I made it up to 28 oz (14 oz each Protein Drink and Water or gatorade G2), but really felt like I was pushing myself and felt really full despite walking, Gas-x, etc.

Today is post-op day 5 and I'm on pace for about 36 oz total. Still way under the Doc's recommended 64oz and 60-70 g Protein. Plus I'm still having loose/watery stools (sorry for the graphic) so I know I'm at greater risk for dehydration. When I called my Doc's office the nurse recommended I measure my urine output (fun!), and that if I'm not making on average at least 150cc every 4-6 hours to give them a call back.

10 oz a day seems like very little, and with no protein to boot? I'd keep trying to get a hold of the doc's office...

Thanks! Oh 36 oz sounds like a distant dream at this point! I think I'd feel like a champ if I got that much.

My dr never called after 2 calls today so I went to urgent care who sent me to the ER. I've had no urine output since I woke up this morning and it was very little so I know I'm dry.

To make matters worse I'm about to boop this nurse in the head with her attitude! She told me I'd have to drink more so she can get a ursine sample!!! I told her to just get the dr. because I'm not here to educate! OMG!!

what doc are you seeing in San Angelo?

My bariatric surgeon is in FL. I have a follow up with one in San Antonio but not for a few weeks. My pcp is Hambrick. The dr I seen in the ER yesterday was super nice his daughter had WLS so he was very knowledgable. The nurse, not so much.
