Who else was Dec 3?!



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery this past Monday. I am at home recovering with two very little children (7mo and 2yrs). I am working really hard and am getting all my Water and Protein in. So far, my only side effects are pain still in the big incision, nausea (gone now) and bad Constipation. It is a wonderful feeling though to not be hungry all the time anymore!!!! How about you guys?! Successes?? Setbacks?? Just wanted to see how everyone else was doing with their new sleeve. :)

I too was sleeved on Dec 3rd. Feeling great, still tire easily, but gets better every day. How are you doing? I'm in the mushy food stage and AMAZED at how little food makes me full. Best thing ever - no more diabetes meds and HBP meds down to 1/2 a pill per day!! Looking forward to this journey, feels like an adventure.

Hi! I was sleeved on Dec. 3rd. I go for my two week follow up tomorrow. Anxious to see what foods they will allow me to start. So tired of the liquid diet! I cheated and had mashed potatoes and gravy yesterday! Its been hard to get the Protein in...trying to get fluids in continually...so ready for some baked fish or MEAT!!! I know I won't be able to eat much, but a bite every hour...oh yeah! I have lost 16 pounds since the surgery, in two weeks. I lost 15 on the pre op diet (two weeks). (and I lost 16 prior to that-a little over six weeks) So I have a total loss of 47 pounds since Oct. 13th. I had my first non weight loss ta da moment yesterday! Realized that I had room between me and the steering wheel!, almost gotta move the seat up! AND between my keys and my cell phone, my pants almost fell down! :D

Hi I'm also a Dec 3 sleever. I went for my post op today. Lost 16 lbs. I actually felt disappointed--I guess I'm unrealistic. Maybe if I walked more like I was supposed to. The doctor said it was good. Now I got to pureed foods for a week and then regular. I'm a little scared but anxious to get beyond just shakes and Clear Liquids.< /p>

      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.
