littlemiss0428 30 Posted October 29, 2012 I was sleeved on Wednesday, October the 24th. My Surgery was at 8am (7:50am ). It went pretty well. No complications per my Dr and Husband. I woke up in recovery with the urge to urinate constantly, but other than that, no real problems. I had the NG tube, and the JP drain. Ironically, that didnt give me too much problem. I had Ice chips only that day, but i was so groggy, and sleepy from the anesthesia, and dilaudid, that I was VERY comfortable. As far as the sleeve.... well at first it felt a little weird for fluids to go down after the NG tube was removed. No real pain... but I could feel fluids move around the part where the esophagus meets the stomach. I woke up only once feeling like I had to vomit, but didnt... strange... Since Ive been home, every day is getting better. At first I only tolerated a few spoonfuls of Soup at a time. Now Im able to eat a laddle-ful at one time.. (very slowly). I started full liquids yesterday, and I had some low-fat cream of broccolli(sp) soup.... It was HEAVEN!! The discomfort going down is less, and less. Im being careful with activities, and trying not to go overboard, because Im such a busy person... Its very strange not to do ANYTHING!! lol But, Ive walked the dog (5lb), and even been to Wal-mart with my husband. (all very slowly) Ive lost 10lbs since surgery...Im very excited about that!! just wanted to share with everyone whats going on with me. I hope all my 10/24's are doing well..... 4 Susie in Lima, flawlessly73, melissac and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strangefruit 179 Posted October 29, 2012 Sounds like you are doing great! I was sleeved on 10/22 and still only allowed Liquid Protein and broth.. Each day gets better though ... I am looking forward to being allowed soft foods like scrambled eggs... 3 Pillowpants, melissac and flawlessly73 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flawlessly73 20 Posted October 29, 2012 I was sleeved on Friday 10/26 and currently on the clear liquid diet but enjoying my broth, crystal light, and Isopure plus the most. Congratulations to you both! Keep up the good work and keep sharing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherryd 0 Posted October 29, 2012 I had it on 10/23 and have had a rough go of it. Seems my stomach didn't like being messed with. I had to stay in hospital for four days and am slowly improving. Some cramping but am told that is because I was drinking too fast and too much at once. Hope this bad feeling isn't permanent. Too sick to enjoy the weight loss yet....hope for a better week!
