Just sleeved this morning...



Recommended Posts

So I had my surgery today at noon. I'm sitting in the hospital recovery room. 5 small incisions & I'm on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. Overall, it wasn't too bad. A little bit of gas in my tummy from when they inflated it, but I have been walking & that helps A LOT. Anyone that is pre-op.. It wasn't that bad.. Pain is a 2-3/10. Well worth it. Today is the beginning of my new life! :)

Congrats to you! I'm laying in my bed now as well. Got sleeved around 130. Gas isn't bad at all. Had bad nausea when I got up to pee earlier that I threw up for a bit and lots of dry heaves. So they gave me some drugs for that. As long as I stay horizontal the nausea stays away. Have only gotten up twice so far. I was in recovery for 3 hours and then got to my room about 6.

Have two incisions and those don't hurt but my abdomen does.

Hope you have a great night and get some sleep.< /p>

I was sleeved today around noon as well. I'm lying in my hospital bed and can't sleep. The gas pain is what is killing me tho. They also found I had a hiatal hernia so she had to repair that. No nausea yet so far thank god although a little heartburn type feeling. But I think it was from the lemon glycerin swabs they were giving me for dry mouth. So I stopped those. Leak test is at 8:30am and looking forward to some water! ESP looking forward for all these wires too come off so I can put on my own clothes and walk around more. :)

Congrats ladies! It's so nice to hear from some people who have had recent surgery! I am getting sleeved on Christmas Eve and I'm super nervous but very excited too! I'm glad you girls aren't feeling to bad, I'm really terrified of getting and feeling sick as its a fear of mine but I know it comes with the surgery. Wishing you ladies a speedy recovery :-)

Yes walk. Get moving and you'll be fine. Four days out and the nurses laugh at me because I am always on the move

      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.
