January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

So has anyone over done it yet? I think I did yesturdat and I didn't even do much. Resson I ask is because I was in pain ALL NIGHT. A sharp pulling pain, whereas the other night I was able to lay in certain positions with no pain. How long should it hurt before I start to worry

Hey, I was sleeved 4 days ago and I drove 3 days later. I haven't taken any pain medication since the 1st day so I knew I wasn't on narcotics. It hurted turning and some pressing on the brake. But I survived it ..lol

Today I started full liquids...so I attempted to drink my Protein Shake by total lean shake....I took about 4 sips and about 1hour later, I had those lactose intolerant bouts....feeling like I was having contractions...omg.... Diarrhea 3times...omg...the label read its lactose free, my Nutritionist said it should be safe since I am highly lactose intolerant. Omg....I'm afraid to sip it again...so I went back to my G2 and mixed my Protein liquid in it.

I've been having to sleep on my side, kind of in fetal position with a pillow on my stomach. Not only does it help with the gas it seems to keep the pain away.

January Sleevers. I went back to work full time on Monday. Both Monday and Tuesday I worked all day with no issues. Tuesday evening I tried to eat some of my mothers potato Soup. She even puréed it for me!

It was so good I ate it too fast and I filled up quickly. I didn't get really sick but just didn't feel well. I went to lay down around 6:45pm. I was going to lay down long enough to let my stomach ache pass. I fell asleep and never woke until 7:30 this morning! I am sure my body needed the sleep as that is an important part of recovery.

My issue with this is that when I woke this morning I was already behind the 8 ball with my Water and Protein. It set me back all day long! Matter of fact, this is the worst day I have had since surgery. I'm just nauseous and feeling a little week. I did manage to get 70 ounces of Water in today because I am afraid of being dehydrated.

I also just had a small portion of my moms potato soup tonight with some Protein powder mixed in. I couldn't get much Protein in today because of being so nauseous.

Help? Did I do the right thing by at least getting my water in? I sure hope I feel 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.
