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



Recommended Posts

I'm post op day # 2 and just got discharged from the hospital. I'm on a clear liquid diet for another day then will start my full liquid diet for 5 weeks. I am drinking no more than 2oz at a time and seem to do well with that. Only problem I have is feeling like I have swallowed a lot of air every time I drink but it passes pretty quickly.

My abd is so swollen' date=' I tried to put on a pair of regular pants but soon realized that wasn't going to work. Did anyone else have these problems?[/quote']

Yes, I tried and pants and they didnt fit. Day 10 they did tho and they were too big. Its all the swelling. I'm still in my pre op pants and I'm down 25#. But they are very comfy on my incisions so I will continue them until i just cant keep them up lol

Surgery update!

I am 27 and 5' 7.

My starting weight on Day of surgery 2/11 275lbs

Today I am 248lbs!

Yup, 27lbs since surgery. Never thought I would lose that fast but it is starting to slow down now. I have a feeling my stall is getting ready to come.

I've lost half a lb within the last week. Looks like the stall arrived. Just waiting it out at this point!

Sad thing is that these are my pre op pants. I just can't wait for the swelling to go down. Txs for the feedback. Good to know we aren't having to deal with this alone.

May I go off topic for a moment? I was sleeved 2-5-13. I was on full liquids when I got home, then 1 week later they had me come in for my 2 week appt. And I was put on soft foods. I've been through the dreaded stall since then! I watch what I eat and how much. Problems are cant get in 64 oz of liquid, n I am craving caffeine folders coffee. Is it bad to have a little bit every now and then? I guess my stall is subsiding cause I noticed the scale move 9lbs in the last 4-5 days. At my 2 week I was 307 today I am 290! I'm gonna be a slow loser I hear because of hypothyroidism. I just want a little coffe! Any advice Please!!!

Check with your Dr or Nutrition, I asked and was told my one small cup in the morning won't hurt. However, it does make me have a BM within 10-15 min.

      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.
