January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

My sleeve went really well and now just resting. Make sure you get and move as soon as you can! It really helps to get everything moving even including the gas.

I am getting sleeved the 15th. Pretty excited but getting nervous. I have thought about this a long time and prayed about it. Is it normal to have some fear? Leaks scare the heck out of me! Please send some encouragement to this Oklahoma girl!!

Where are you having surgery? I'm an Oklahoma girl too. I should be Jan 28 or 30th, Dr. Keith is my surgeon.

Hi everyone!! I just wanted to wish my fellow January sleevers good luck!!

I am 5 days post op and I'm feeling terrific! Since I got home I have felt well enough to cook' date=' clean, do laundry, grocery shop, etc.

I'm so thankful to be sleeved. I'm down 32lbs since I started my pre-op diet.

I hope everyone who has been sleeved is also feeling great. Good luck to those of you getting sleeved soon. You won't regret it![/quote']

It's good to know you are feeling better. Today is day 2 and I'm starting to feel better. How are you doing with liquids? I have been having some issues getting it all in

Well as soon as they took me off morphing the nausea stopped and I started getting better quickly. Now I'm doing great. I was sleeved on 9 th and leaving hospital today. I can drink 6 oz of Water every thirty minutes at this time. Don't hesitate asking for a different pain killer if your nausea. They gave me dilauted (?) and all the sudden everything was 100% better. My Zdr said no gas x strips after surgery if doesn't help trapped air in body so you don't need that. The worse I felt the more walking helped my symptoms especially shoulder blade air pain. I'm so happy this part is over and I'm on the losers bench. I am so excited to see the lbs fall off!

It was so nice sleeping in my own bed last night. I hate being in the hospital. I was on dilauded the first day but by about 3am I asked for straight Tylenol. I couldn't function at all with the narcotics on board. I had no gas pains at all, and my constant belly pain wore off quickly. Now only when I try to sit up or something which strains that area. I'm just gonna concentrate on my fluids today and 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.
