Sleeve Surgery In The Begining Of The Next Month!



Recommended Posts

I will do the sleeve surgery in the first week of next month( still not sure of the exact day).

I feel a lot of mixed feelings. I am excited about losing weight but afraid from the surgery and the pain after it.

I am 102 kg and 25 years old.

What do u think??

Your fear is very healthy, if you didn't have any reservations about being cut into & having the vast majority of your stomach removed I would be concerned. All I can say is in hindsight(I'm 6months post op) this is definitely one of the best things I have done for myself. I only wish I had done it sooner.

Thanks a lot! How did u feel after u woke up from the surgery??

I don't react well to anesthesia. So I was combative coming out(but I was strong enough to be combative). I had some nausea till the IV Meds kicked in (which only took about 15-30min). After that it was smooth sailing. No pain, no further nausea nothing. Was up and walking around in no time. Came off IV about 48hrs after surgery and haven't had a single medication other than a stool softener since.

      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.
