I Was Sleeved 2 Days Ago



Recommended Posts

Came home today.

The pain in my incisions is minimal, I'm walking fine. I can drink Water and shakes ok.

When I woke up from surgery I had intense gas pains stuck in the middle of my chest, and that was basically the worst of it.

I got on the scale though and it shows that I gained 9 pounds since the day of surgery. How long will these fluids and stuff from surgery be in me?

I brought 15 pounds of Fluid home from the hospital. But they didn't stay with me but a few days. You're better off not even getting on the scale for 2 weeks. Nothing good is going to happen between now and then. You're not even burning any fat yet. In 2 weeks you will see a nice change.

Gaining weight after surgery is completely normal....and each person loses it at different rates. I lost my 7 extra pounds in four days.

So when I come home from the hospital in Mexico after surgery, should I expect my presurgery clothes to actually be a bit tighter on me for a few days? I'm planning what to wear on the trip home, as well as the next few days after.

      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.
