FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Monday. I'm still in the hospital. I'm in so much pain I can't even imagine going home without an iv. Luckily no vomiting I'm able to sip Water and juice. My belly is so tender. I'm not able to pass gas. They won't let me take gas x strips. It hurts to move. But I'm going to try to walk as much as I can tomorrow.

I have this sharp pain under my incision on my right side. it hurts most when I move a certain way like everything is pulling, does anybody else experience this?

Yes! I am in the me boat! Have you found any solutions?

I'm in the same boat as well. It sucks because I don't like chocolate and the strawberry stuff is soo sweet. It was my pre-op liquid diet staple but now all I drink is Crystal light, Water & skim milk. I'm slowly tolerating the carnation essentials choclate but that's because vanilla is the worst! I go to my support group meeting tomorrow evening so hopefully I'll get some help. :(

Nope not yet. I just keep trying. I normally take a sip or two and hand the drink to my boyfriend

Is it right beside your belly button? That's where mine is. My doctor said it was nerve pain. I'm 13 days out and it's starting to subside.

Ok stage 2 & 3 Sleever's -- What's for Breakfast?

First I get 20 ounces of Water out of the way. I use the propel to wake up and take my meds, than I sit and relax with a nice cup of tea.

Propel Zero - berry Nutrient Enhanced Water Beverage, 12fl oz

0 cal, 0 carbs, 0 fat, 0 gm Protein

Bentley's - Minty Mint Green Tea, 1 cup

0 cal, 0 carbs, 0 fat, 0 gm protein

About 20 mins later I enjoy my nice and cream shake!

Kroger Carb Master Yogurt - strawberry, 3 oz (1/2 container)

30cal, 2carbs, 1 fat, 4gm protein

Unjury Protein Shake Strawberry Sorbet, 1 scoop

100 cal, 4carbs, 0 fat, 21 gm protein

Silk Almond Milk Unsweetened (4oz - 1/2 Cup)

15cal, 1carbs, 1 fat, 1 gm protein

Total intake for breakfast:

145 calories, 7 carbs, 2 fat, 26 protein gms

I also used this breakfast for pre-surgery and Stage 1, it is quick and convenient and I will probably keep it always. You can also cut the numbers a little an use the Propel water instead of the almond milk. I often do and it still taste good.

I would be interested in what others are doing.

Thanks, jwestate

How are you mixing your shake? I am having trouble getting alot of air in shakes and they foam up. Are you using blender or shaker bottle?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
