Any November 14Th Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I got home yesterday. Surgery was good and my pain has been relatively low. It's just sore. I was so nauseous after my swallow test Thursday. I didn't want to go home. Happy I am home now. Had a full nights worth of sleep in my bed propped up with pillows! Still have lots of gas. It's annoying but not very painful. Hope everyone is doing well!!!

My incisions were sealed up with dissolving stitches and surgical glue. Anyone else have that? Had no drain. Was happy about that!

I hope things get better for you. Hopefully, you can go home soon. Getting the liquids in is really a struggle. I hope it gets easier with time

My incisions were also sealed with glue - it's awesome! My Doctor says it's so much easier this way.

Got sleeved on Wednesday. Got discharged on Thursday. Was up walking after surgery. Got dry heaves whenever the put the pain meds in my IV. Only ate ice on Wednesday. Drank Water and ate popsicles Thursday and Friday. Drinking water and soy milk today. Still walking. Feel tired after I do anything. Gas is still the worst part. Ready to be done with that.

I wasn't trying to like this stupid phone! Lol you can't see it in my pic but there is a big dent right above the middle incision. That's been giving me a lot of pain. The rest of them don't hurt. I was surprised at how clean they all looked. Hope yours get better soon!

I was sleeved on Wed too and I have that same pain and dent in my middle right side incision...I guess that is where they remove your stomach from...I feel like I have done a 1000 sit ups and my stomach is sore in that arra...other than that I have been ok...worked hard today on getting my liquids down and I did...I am just really bored with staying at home because I am usually busy...I guess now is my time to get some rest...

      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.
