Last Week Sleever?



Recommended Posts

Hi Last Week's Sleevers!

Checking in - how are you doing?

Was sleeved on the 12-12. Was set back on the 16th by dehydration and ended back in the hospital (couldn't drink Water or any Protein shakes). Glad to report today that I should be leaving the hospital and I've been gradually been able to drink 8 ounces of Protein shakes with a help of a stop watch - a sip every 5 minutes :-).

Going to try some sugar free Jello and pudding later today.

How is everyone else doing??

Hey, Glad to hear you're doing better.

I was sleeved on Dec. 11 and have not had many issues other than some gas the first few days. I was stressed the first few days worrying I was getting all my Fluid in but after day 4 all was well. Getting fluids in not an issue and I progressed to pureed food yesterday. sugar free Jello has been a god send. I use it to take my crushed pills and find it goes down really smooth.

Best of luck going forward!!

i was sleeved on 12/13/12...i too had a hard time staying hydrated & getting my Protein. Yogurt mixed with my Jello has helped...it would take me all day to finish 11oz shake... Soup has helped me too... I keep a cup on top of a candle warmer to keep it warm until I finish it... doing some what better now. had a slight fever last night, took liquid kids tylenol, fever gone this morning, so will work extra hard on staying hydrated today...good luck to you

I was sleeved on 12/12. Its been a little rough mentally (head hungry and cravings) and the gas was painful for the first few days. My prescription pills are getting easier to swallow. I've lost 20 pounds so far.

I was sleeved 12-11 and am doing good. I am getting at least 3 15 Gm Protein Drinks in and sipping Soups too but Water is still pretty rough going down. I'm down 16 lbs since surgery. Is anyone else still having pain, like the internal abdominal pain?

I was sleeved 12/10 and doing good. Getting two Protein drinks in a day. About 57g of Protein. Still having an issue with getting all my Water in. But doing Jello and Popsicles as well and cream Soups.

I'm down 12lbs since surgery and a total of 44 since I started this journey.

Definitely have more energy the last few days.

Sorry to hear your were back in the hospital but I'm glad you are doing better.

Goodluck to everyone!

I was sleeved on the 10th; it took me 2 days to drink an entire cup of Water LOL. Doing pretty well now; I am drinking a lot of broth and hot tea. Hoping to get moved to soft/musy foods tomorrow after my appt. It's not that I'm hungry; it will just be nice to not drink EVERYTHING. Good luck to you :)

Make sure you Water down the juice so you don't have as much sugar. I think it taste better like that post op... anything sweet doesn't taste good to me anymore. I do my Protein half milk half orange juice and it taste just like a creamcicle.. delish!!! I hear the plain protein can be added to cream of wheat without tasting it. You may want to try that.

Hello! I was sleeved 12/11/12 with a hiatal hernia repair. I have went from 222 pre- op to 209. So, 13 lbs down:)! I am having a rough time getting all my fluids in but i am managing. Protein Shakes started yesterday and needless to say i am ready for puree so i can mix my Protein with some sugar free white choc pudding. Other than that i am tired, cranky, and having head hunger as of right now. Some days i have endless energy and feel on top of the world and others i have to try to scrape myself from the couch. ONE DAY AT A TIME:)

      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?

      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.
