January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I had mine yesterday. I hurt so bad right now.

It will get better. It may not seem like it now and you are wondering why you put yourself through this but it will get better. Most of my pain was from gas. I am a week out and feel great. Get up and walk and sip Water. It does get better

Hey all! Newbie here! I'm hoping for the 29th here in Atlanta. Paperwork was submitted yesterday to insurance!

I'm on my 4th day of 2 weeks of liquids and feeling great! Smell of burgers from Five Guys nearly killed me yesterday though. 3rd day was definitely the hardest. Working out a lot for distraction which isn't easy on 800-1000 calories but I find if I just add a tsp of Peanut Butter it helps. Good luck everyone!

Just came back from my one-week post-op doc visit! All is good! I'm down 10 lbs from day of surgery!! I have had no issues to really complain about - been pretty smooth sailing all things considered! The only odd thing, is that they still won't let me drive for another week or 2... I"m not even on pain meds anymore... they said it is because of the anethesia! Anyone else experience this?

Hey Cam! Are you 23 lbs down from your pre-op diet or from surgery? I am also 23 lbs down (from my pre-op) and also one week out (10th) so we are right on pace with each other. :-)

Keep up the good work!

That sounds pretty weird to me. Anesthesia should be long out of our system by now (I'm also a week out, the 10th). My discharge papers said I could drive as soon as I left the hospital as long as I wasnt on pain medication.

I was also sleeved on the 9th and I'm down 11lbs. Mostly lost during Clear Liquids. Much slower now that I've added in full liquids. The only thing I have any real trouble with is the Protein Drinks. Even if I sip at them about half way thru I have to stop for an hour or so or I'm really uncomfortable. I'll be glad to move into real foods and not depend on them.

I was sleeved on the 7th and I feel the same way about the shakes. It takes me so long to drink one!

      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?

      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.
