Post op march sleevers

[gelen's_change 157]

Two new issues: my hands are FREEEEEZING!!!! I'm usually hot and now I'm COLD! Wasn't expecting that! And (maybe TMI) watery diarrhea....ugh!!!

But otherwise doing great!

I have the same things happening.

Had my 1 week post surgery check up today and after a scheduling mixup and waiting almost 2 hrs he calmed all my fears and freak outs. He cleared my to go back to the gym and move onto the purée stage (I'm supper excited for this!!!). He said just do as much as your body will tolerate. Listen to your body and your new smaller stomach. Thank you to everyone on here for all your words of encouragement. I think it's so awesome that we all can connect and ask questions and say our fears and share our ups and downs. Have a great day everyone!!

I was sleeved on the 4th of march. I'm getting more fluids in but not much Protein. Yesterday was the first time I felt nauseous from eating. I tried scram of broccoli and two spoons down and my stomach was not happy. So I'm sticking to the broths.

YES!!!!!! I found a new Protein powder that I may be able to tolerate......Its called nectar and I found at The Vitamin Shoppe and it comes in about 10 flavors.

I bought the sampler pack based on a recommendation from here, and for me, they are HORRIBLE! I took a pack of the green apple ecstasy and mixed with Water. To start with, it might as well have been unflavored, apple my foot. I put some sweetener in it and it didn't help. It's been in my fridge a couple of days now and I am trying to screw up the courage to try it again. In all fairness, I haven't been able to get ANY Protein down until today (sleeved Mar 5).

The other thing I found misleading was the description. Each pack has stamped in large numbers "23 Grams of Protein!"

Well, guess what. That's for the whole pack, and each pack has 4 servings. The packs are small, I would only have guess they were one serving each instead. So if you mix it as directions say, you are only getting SEVEN grams per shake. And I would rather drink ONE shake of Isopure or Pure protein Ready To Drink and get 35-40 grams thank to use these.

IMHO

Internet was out yesterday, so couldn't update. Glad to be back though! I have also been very cold, my hands are always icy and i've always got a sweater on and blanket around me, and sometimes that isn't enough. I remember my husband being this way to after his surgery. It does get better! Also same with the Diarrhea. Oh liquid diet, you can't end to soon!!

Hi everyone. I was sleeved 3/4' date=' went home the next day. No real issues besides the normal gas issues until today. Went to get my staples and drain taken out. Had a bit of trouble with the drain, when they went to pull it out it ripped the incision open more. Didn't feel to good. They ended up having to stitch it up. From the start of my preop diet I'm down 42 lbs. 20 since surgery. And none of my clothes fit anymore but I guess that's a good problem to have ;0)[/quote']

You Rock! That's awesome weight loss in this short of time!! That sucks about the incision ???? ouch

[Wrinkle 37]

So jealous you have your drain out!!!! I was sleeved march 5th and I'm doing great except for the drain! Go back to the drs Thursday so I hope it comes out then!

I was sleeved the 11th--I am home today-with drains. I'm suppose to call daily with drain amounts. Still have several ccs coming out of one of them. They are uncomfortable--

I was sleeved March 6th and since that day I have lost 20 lbs. crazy! I am focusing more on my Fluid intake than Protein. Yesterday's attempt at a shake made my sleeve twist and turn. Today is my surgeons appointment for a check up. We'll see what he says. I'm still having pain directly behind my belly button - searing' date=' burning, almost tearing pain. Totally confused as to what it is. I am so ready to feel better!!!!!!!!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I am not getting my protein in either. Sleeved the 11th. Do better with straight Water. The protein I bought before this-tasted ok then--but now it makes me gag. I hope to find something that tasted ok.

Hi everyone. I was sleeved on march 1. I am going to my two week follow up tomorrow hoping I can move to blenderized foods. Just so I can have flavor in my mouth...lol I love reading everyone's stories on here they help me get though the day. I don't weigh my self at home but at my 1 week apt I was down 9.5 pounds and I lost 21.5 pre op so 32 total

[albertamom 53]

Sleeved on first!! 9 down. A little bummed not more... But I am following the rules !!! Energy getting better every day!!

[onelessfatgirl 103]

Sleeved on the 12th. Today was my first full day home. I slept A LOT but each time I woke up I walked around my house for 15-30 minutes, did my deep breathing, and tried to get down a few more ounces very slowly. I'm only supposed to do Protein Shakes after I get in at least 32oz of Water. Well, I got my 32oz and now I'm slowly working on room temp beef broth with unflavored Protein Powder mixed in. I'm managing pain well. I csn seem to go longer periods of time btwn doses. Nothing tastes good, not the broth, not the sf stuff I added into my water, not even my water. But I'm sipin away anyhow.

Sleeved on the 7th, I feel amazing except that today I tried 1 tbs of fat free cottage cheese and about an hour later I got piercing pain underneath my drain site in waves for about 20 minutes. Down 20 lbs.

The drains are uncomfortable but will be out before you know it. Had mine taken out today and it doesn't hurt but It is a very strange feeling when the drain is pulled out.

Just out of curiosity, where are the drains and what are they used for?

I'm getting sleeved March 20th
