[tommyd 125]

Doing great. Sleeve on the 5th. No pain. Probably doing too much. As I type this I'm in the woods hunting.

I put a scoop of my shake mix in my sugar free pudding..helps. I need more Water though.

I wish I had my own I.v at home

Has anyone tried flavored oatmeal yet? Just wondering how you did with it?

[steelergirl 135]

I was told oatmeal was a no no..my doc said whatever could slide through a funnel..lol

I went to a Chinese food place tonight..and ordered wonton soup!..gave my daughter the good stuff and I drank the broth!! It was soooo yummy..I'm in heaven

[steelergirl 135]

Ok first off..please don't start off by telling me anything about an eating disorder..because I am a therapist and know very much about what it takes to be diagnosed with a eating disorder. Lol..

I ordered wonton Soup and gave my daughter the content so I could have the broth. I had the dumb idea I could have a bite of a wonton and spit it out..I accidentally swallowed part of the noodle..I'm freaked

.nothing happened..but I really stick to the rules ..I had no pain..I'm one week out and kind of nervous

What so you guys think..enough to cause damage?

Had my apt today with the dietician before I make the six hour trip home . All good advice I'm down 10.5 kilos or 23lbs not bad . Still have two wounds that are a tiny but tender but I am most impressed at the neat job the surgeon did . Looking forward to going home to my own house and being able to cook my own Soups etc in my own environment .

[steelergirl 135]

That is awesome!! Good work..safe trip home;)

I get full very quickly. will be hungry in about an hour. feel hungry most of the time. Exercise - running on the elliptical. hoping I cleared for yoga, coffee and some vegetables.

hey guy - 2 weeks post op, feeling ok, thats good, dr cleared you for the elliptical already??? sounds like your doing great

imo - just my opinion, i wouldn't push the envelope w/the eliptical, upping the resistence yet - unless dr says ok - sounds alittle early to be exercising so riggorously

i wasn't cleared for much exercise til 6 weeks we all know that all drs are different

sorry you are feeling hunger pangs

you weren't on liquids much, eating regular solids yet??? if you are still with the soft - cottage cheese, yogurt your restriction will increase once your on more normal food like chicken

you say you get full easily, thats great - solids usually help keep someone full longer with that restriction in your new and improved smaller tummy

you "might" be dealing with head hunger - lots of us have that at different times

take care my friend

keep on keepin on

enjoy that new best friend - the sleeve

I was also sleeved on the 8th and I have had alot of pain. I also had a hernia reapair so I'm sure that factor is contributing to it. I also have tons of spass. Not feeling the greatest when I eat.

[timetobefree 74]

I was sleeved on the 9th, and I have a lot of pain as well from a serious hernia repair. This sucks, to be honest. I've had 5 abdominal surgeries and this is by far the worst I've ever had. By far. I've never even used pain meds post-op until this surgery, and now I am begging for them every four hours!

I'm also really, really hungry, which sucks. I wasn't expecting to be hungry, so that has caught me off guard. I am hoping it goes away soon!

Thanks for the help proudgrammy, My surgeon is a little different than most of the ones I read about here. He told me for the cardio I can do whatever feels okay. I've been doing it for so many years already that unlike many here I'm not learning how to exercise so maybe he's cutting me some slack because of it.

He wants his sleevers on pureed quickly which is why it was just 1 day on liquids. Once I was home it was anything that I could mash with a fork like baked fish, canned tuna, hardboiled eggs, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and even ground beef.

We'll see how it changes tomorrow when I see him for my 2 week follow up.

Good day people...I had my surgery on November 5th...and feeling great!. Only issue that is concerning me right now is my incision sites are itching like crazy ...and are a Lil red and raised...is anyone else having this issue?

[Mommy sleeve 16]

I was 11/2 and my incisions are absolutely scabs and itchy. I have been using Bio-Oil. It is great and will help prevent scaring. You can get it at costco or on line. It smells great, feels great and will stop the itches and the scarring. It will stain clothes though so wear a T-Shirt once you put it on.
