November Sleevesters?



Recommended Posts

Surgery was Nov 1st and I have never felt better in my life! Day 2 was a little rough but I was up and running on day 3....literally. I worry that this whole recovery process has been so simple. I know for others that is not the case so I am sensitive to that. My words of wisdom for upcoming sleeves.... You know your body best so do what works for you. We all recover differently and have different tolerances. Drink fluids and try as hard as you can to get your Proteins in as it does speed recovery. I think the majority of the Protein Shakes make you want to reck even if you were perfectly healthy let alone just having the majority of you stomach removed. I live off of the pre-made choc muscle milk light shakes sold at costco. The mix is not the same! Again, we are all different so keep trying things until you find your fit. Good luck to all of the November sleeves. We are all going to be on our way to happy and healthier selves. Won't it be a relief not to look for another diet to try for our New Year's resolution!

Hang in there! Day 2 like I said is not great. When do you head home? Get moving around to the extent you can to move the gas pains. Day 3 hopefully is better for you. Keep me posted on your progress

I slept the whole day. I think our bodies need it to heal and work out all of the meds from surgery. Sounds like you are on track. Wait until you start seeing the pounds drop. I was 237 before preop diet, didn't remember to weigh on surgery day because I left the house too early and today weighed in at 217 so I am pretty happy. I think you are going to do great!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
