Sleeved after having baby



Recommended Posts

So I am having my second c section in march (first was an emergency).

My surgeon said I would be ok to get the sleeve in June.

Has anyone else been sleeved so close after having a baby!

I did 7 weeks after my csection! You should be fine 3 months out.

None. My husband works nights so I was on my own. It was hard but doable. Just find ways to limit lifting your kids for a couple of weeks. I would feed my little one while he was laying in his boppy pillow. Or I'd put pillows under my arms when I held him.

I was just sleeved last week and I have a six month old and a two year old. I was actually cleared for surgery as long as I wasn't breast feeing at 6 weeks post c-section. We decided to wait until after January so my husband would have more vacation time. He and my mom have been taking care of me because I really have needed the help. I've had a hard time bending and I'm not allowed to lift either boy. Two year old is 30 lbs and the baby is 17lbs. It's really rough but I know I'll be a much better mommy in the long run.

      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.
