Sleeved on December 5th

[TallGirl300 20]

I had my surgery on Monday Dec 3rd!! So nice to see so many that had it this week as well. Where do you get sublingual Vitamins? ? So far all I've been taking are my gummi vites since I'm scared of throwing up pills. But all in all the only complaint I have is the excruciating pain I still have on my right main incision. Goodness it hurts!!!! So yeah...where do you get those vitamins??

I had surgery on 12/5 and am pretty amazed at how well I feel. I am on Clear Liquids till the 12th and hope to start on my creamy liquids then.

I am basically living on sonic ice chips' date=' Water and a little chicken broth. The weird thing is I don't feel hungry but now notice all the food commercials.

I know we are all different as are our surgeons. I see in forums where their doctors are wanting them to get in 50 grams of Protein. My question is how do I do this on a clear liquid diet??[/quote']

Sounds like we are in the same boat. I had mine on the 5th and on clear liquids, eating sonic ice chips and some broth. My surgeon said not to worry about Protein yet. Just stay hydrated. So I've been sip, sip, sipping.

I have also noticed the food commercials. Way too many of them. Luckily I have zero hunger. Good luck on your journey! And can't wait to see how well you are doing.

Hey' date=' did you ask your surgeon about Advil?? Mine said absolutely no ibuprofen as it is too hard on the stomach and can cause ulcers.[/quote']

No I did ask specifically she put it on my discharge papers. We've spoke over the phone about advil and tylenol she had no objections to either.

I am very confident in my surgeon. She is known as a bariatric guru and travels around the world to train others. She does things a little different and I feel comfortable with this.

Hello,

So funny that we are in opposite shoes. I am taking pills Prilosec, Advil and Tylenol pills. But don't want to take my gummies for fear of something wrong happening. But your taking the chews no problem?

[TallGirl300 20]

Yup!! Just finished them right now!! And honestly they are the highlight of my day right now because I get to CHEW!! LoL!!! My dr recommends them, so that's why I use em.

Hello everyone,

I've been on Protein shakes 2 days now, three shakes a day, along with other fluids, broth, sugarfree Jello or sugarfree pudding & popsicles. I take a Bariatric Multivitamin(chewable) or Gummy Multivitamin, Calcium(chewable) & B12 sublingual daily. Actually, all the chewable Vitamins are not bad the taste is ok.

I had surgery December 4th and feeling pretty good other than the expected tenderness from the incisions. I came home with Phenergan which made me sick (go figure) and hydrocodine which I haven't taken since the 5th. I took a small dose of Children's Tylenol at night on the 5th and 6th and nothing since then. I do a chewable Vitamin and PPI. Getting fluids and working on Protein. I'm really surprised that I have no hunger and minimal pain (this was my first surgery so really wasn't sure what to expect). I'm just ready to be able to drink normally without fear of causing a leak!

I am also taking gummy vitamins, I am fine with them.

Savannah I have the exact same thing. My surgery was on Dec 6th. I have the worst air and gas. The Protein Shakes may have been a little premature because they gave me bad pains too followed by a burp. I may wait another day or so for that again! I still have some pretty bad pain from where the drain was and in the stomach area but its getting better. I am mostly concerneda about getting my liquids in so i dont get dehydrated thats my biggest goal right now but this gas in my stomach is crazy!! Ill be glad when its gone

I went through the gas issue, it will pass don't worry. What helped me, I've been walking since day 1. Now that I'm home I walk twice a day and the gas MOVED! For me, that was the worse feeling I've experienced. Each time it started moving, I felt like a new woman...LOL The Protein Shakes may be to early to try, give yourself a couple more days & retry. I received a post from another person on here and she told me she skipped liquid & went right into full liquid, including cream of wheat. Just be patient, you had surgery just 3 days ago, things are going to be fine.

hi all, i was sleeved dec 5th good to hear from folks the same week. I am doing really well, of course I feel bloated and sore but no real pain. I am on full liquids and for my doc that includes cream Soups and sugar free pudding as well as Protein Drinks. The only really thing that I feel a bit concerned about is no matter how slow I sip I burp..guess maybe its getting rid of all the gas still inside. feels great to be home and this evening for the first time I actually felt a tad hungry.

I was sleeved Dec 6. I was fortunate to not have the gas pains, but once my intestines woke up they've been having a little party! I am having a hard time getting my Isopure down, but I'm going to try Proteins that can be warm. My sleeve seems to like them better.

Hey guys! I also had my sleeve on Dec 5th. However, I am a miserable human being. :-( None of the pain pills work, I am still in a ton of pain, can't sleep on my side yet, still not eating/ drinking very much (on full liquids), and I'm just not sure if anyone else is having a hard time healing as well. I ended up staying two nights in the hospital & didn't really think I was ready to leave when I did. I am starting to think its my weight that's causing me to heal a lot slower. My weight before they put me to sleep was 351 lbs. if anyone has any encouragement by all means, please respond.

I am in my recliner now bcuz my bed was not working for me tonight. I am having a few concerns abt one of my incisions, so I will be on the phone with the dr bright and early. Just make sure you are taking it easy. I am still on liquids too. That has been pretty tough while sitting back and watching my family eat, but it will all pay off In the end. Where are u Sarah??
