January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

It will be fine. The first few days are uncomfortable but the more you get up and move around and sip on Water the better you will feel faster. Good luck to all. I'm back at work tomorrow.

I feel so good that I am thinking of going back to work next week too. I hate to jump the gun and then be sorry if I do go back and regret it.

Truthfully I could have gone back to work a couple days after my surgery but I decorate cakes on the side and had orders to get done so thought what the heck. They gave me the time. May as well take it. Glad you're feeling good.

Hey everyone, I am so much better this afternoon. I made it through the leak test this morning. I had a headache and was giving liquid loratab, I took a nap the the headache is gone! I got to shower today and have been walking. Seem to be tolorating cool not cold liquids, and some tipid not really warm broth. Dr. said surgery went smooth and the nurse says I'm a rockstar, that I am doing great!

The leak test was the worst part for me. I was so nauseous, and choking down that contrast study felt like torture.

      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.
