January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

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!

Super like! Great! So inspiring to hear uncomplicated uneventful surgeries! Have a speedy recovery and congrats! Keep us posted!

That's what I thought too. Had books loaded on my kindle, music on my iPod and everything else on my phone. When I got to me room my hubby brought everything except my tablet bag. So no chargers. My phone had 2% charge. Lasted long enough for me to text my hubby and tell him. I managed to read 3 pages on the kindle, and my iPod was in the case with the cords. Really though I slept much of the first afternoon through the night so it wasn't so bad.

I am now day 3 after surgury. Doing better than yesterday, I gotten rid of some gas and coughed up some nasty stuff. I am still not getting in enough liquids, I can only drink 1/2 my protien shake. I did eat about 3oz of greek yogurt today. I don't have any staples, I have dermabond on my 5 wholes. They are very small except one above my belly button that one is about 1 1/2 in. I don't think you will be able to see the little one after they heal. Hang in there ladies it will be better tomorrow!

      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.
