Sleeved On Jul 16Th



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done on July 16th. Went well except I had sever nausea and had to be re-admitted to the hospital for another day to re-hydrate. I am able to drink Clear Liquids now and I will start my pureed foods tomorrow. I have lost 19 pounds since my two week post op liquid diet and am very happy. I still have a very bloated feeling in my stomach which feels like a lot of gas and popping. Anyone else feel like this the first week out?

I had the same feelings.. I'm still have a little bloat but not much and I am 13 days postop.. I did have to have an open operation instead of laparoscopic so that has caused me to heal much slower

I haven't been sleeved yet, but it sounds like you're doing better =) I'm glad to hear things are going ok, despite the gassy feeling. I know I've read a lot of places that the gas is a problem. I hope it gets better soon!

I was sleeved on the 17th. The gassy feeling for me was the worst part! I lucked out and didn't have the nausea more than once but the gas was so painful! Hang in there and walk as much as possible it really helps. I also laid on my left side using pillows for comfort. That helped move the gas a bit. Today is the first day I feel a lot better and basically completely gas free. Good luck and I hope you feel better!

      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.
