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



Recommended Posts

I was very dehydrated

I went to ER on Thursday night. They pumped in 2 bags of IV fluids

I feel so much better!

My heart rate is still low' date=' but doing pretty good getting liquids in again.

I don't know why, the further I get dehydrated, the harder it is to get in my liquids.< /p>

I have a followup today with my family dr and I go to the cardiologist next friday. I am anxious to see what the holter monitor showed.

While I was at the ER, the monitor kept going off because my heart rate was too low[/quote']

Aww hope your feeling better

I am glad to hear you are doing better. I hope you can get some answers from the cardiologist about your slow heart rate. You may need to find a cardiac specialist called an Electrphysiologist. They specialize in the heart's electrical system. Most cardiologists are plumbers rather than electricians! LOL! Keep working on staying hydrated. It's your job now!

None, other than the regret of not doing this years ago.

      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.
