Sleeved 9/17, Going Good So Far!



Recommended Posts

Thanks for all of the well wishes! I didn't have any major complications BUT something did happen that I didn't expect, hiccups. I caught them my second day in the hospital and I can tell you that was one of the worst experiences in my life! Everytime I would hiccup, it was like Tyson was taking body shots and the pain was paralyzing. I had to stay in the hospital an extra day because of those damn hiccups. Did anyone else have this issue? Other than that I'm up and moving! I'm done with Clear Liquids and have moved to full liquids, and can move to soft/pureed foods on Friday. And the good part, I'm 30lbs down from last Monday! I hope everyone else who was sleeved 9/17 is doing well!

I had horrible hiccups! From shortly after I came out of anesthesia until the second day. It was awful!!!! I asked if it was normal and the nurses told me to ask my surgeon. I have my 2 week follow up tomorrow but i really haven't had them to that degree again.

      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.
