Nov2012 Sleevers? Be My Surgery Sister



Recommended Posts

Thanks Taty, my neck hurts tho. They said I probrobly was in a bad position during recovery. It's really sore, like I sprained it. That's really my only complaint. Yes it hurts a little when I cough but that's tolerable. My food is going down fine, my chest gets a little tight but that's because if the stitches inside from the hernia. My strips came off in the shower today and I have 4 very small incision that were glued closed. Once they completely heal you won't even be able to notice.

Hi Nikki I had my surgery on 11/27. I'm in Ca. And my insurance covered the entire surgery. Did it cover yours?? How are you doing now that you had the surgery?

Awesome carol! I was sleeved nov 6 (almost 7 wjs post op), and im doing well. I, too, have troubles with some foods. Beef really bothers me. Im on soft foods, and im enjoying that for now. I havent weighed since 5 wks out, and at that point I was 32 lbs down.

Congrats on your successes!

I was sleeved on the 5th but today was the first time I had "issues" with my stomach feeling queasy... I ate the normal stuff that I had been Greek yogurt, string cheese, oatmeal, chicken Soup. Not sure what's happening, I'll try again tomorrow. I need to get with aNUT. Havent had the opportunity to work with one. I sttended 1 meeting a week before my surgery and I was given some papers to follow and I followed them to a T but not quite sure what to expect or do from here on out. My nut wasn't very approachable, so I was put off and did all my research on line and thru this site. I think I need to buck up and try to reapproach her. But I am down 40'lbs as of today. Not quite sure if this is the norm, but I am happy with it! It's been years since I was below 400. Day of surgery I weighed 421.9 and today 378.8

Omg! The same thing is happening to me. I feel queasy all the time for the last week and a half! It's terrible. Just the thought of food makes me vomit. Everything was going great until last week. I was sleeved on the 6th of nov. and have lost 43 lbs. what is happening? I told my NUT and she was unconcerned. I feel weak and terrible cause I'm not getting Protein in.

      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.
