3 days post op....(Sleeved on Monday the 17th)



Recommended Posts

Yesterday (day 2) was actually harder than day 1 post op. My throat was so sore and my chest felt tight. Today I woke up feeling better and I have actually tried two foods: 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt with Breakfast and 1/3 cup cream of Tomato Soup. My incisions are bothering me a little more, but overall, I feel so much better. Hoping the all the others sleeved on Monday are starting to feel a little better, too. I realize I have a long way to get to my Protein goal, but at least I am on my way now.

I lost 20 lbs before surgery...7 of those pounds came off during the three day clear liquid diet. I am not getting on a scale until I see my doc at the 2-week post op check up. Just didn't 't want anyone to think I lost 20 lbs 3 days after surgery.

I too was sleeved on Monday. This afternoon I really started to feel better - could tolerate Water and able to eat yogurt for lunch. Things must be looking up! I think being at home helps a lot, too.

I agree! That clear liquid diet was painful in its own way. At least now we can have things with milk, etc.

I didn't realize the chest pain was gas. I thought it was connected to my horribly swallen throat. Everything burned in my throat. It was bad.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
