Sleeved yesterday!



Recommended Posts

Just got home a little while ago. So glad to be out of the hospital.

I'm very tired and sore, and dealing with gas pains and occasional nausea. Trying to get my clear fluids in, but having a rough time. Hoping to start feeling human again soon.

Anyone care to give me a pep talk, because I could sure use one right now! I'll start to feel better soon, right?

I had a horrible time with liquids and a friend told me to set a timer and take another sip every 15 minutes. That saved me from getting dehydrated.

Just think in another few days, weeks, months you will be so happy and feel FANTASTIC!!! You can do it!

You will feel better. Remember that with anything it takes time to adjust. Sip, sip, sip take it slow. Be gentle with yourself. Do the best you can and you will see that each day it is a little better. Before you know it, this phase will be in the past. I'm only a week out from my surgery so not an expert, but after having spent 27 years in health care I do know that you need to be gentle with yourself. Don't fret, just do the best you can each day. Hang in there.

      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.
