Getting sleeved on Monday!



Recommended Posts

Lol I need to find something to do as well. I never realized how much revolved around or included eating! I too had the discomfort you're speaking of and I had to start taking very small drinks and found that it helped. If I take too big of a drink I get a lot of pressure and end up belching :-/

I'm not hungry either but I find myself fantasizing about food anyways. Really looking forward to the soft foods stage.

Other than that I'm feeling fantastic, lots of energy, healed fast with little discomfort :)

I don't know what I really expected but I am surprised how difficult it is too drink and stay hydrated. There is discomfort when I drink feels like something is squeezing my insides. Another surprise is that I'm never hungry' date=' which I guess is good. I need to find a new love lol[/quote']

I feel the same way!. I was also sleeved on 4/29. I have no idea why I felt so prepared lol- now I'm finally feeling a little better but recovery was odd for me too. I'm terrified of becoming dehydrated( but it's so hard to drink that much!) I've lost 15lbs so far- cant wait to start going to the gym I wanna work on not having that much skin!

Oh no! My Dr said the same thing when I went for post op yesterday but just told me to drink Water. It is very hard to stay hydrated.

If I set my water down I don't drink so I'm just walking around with a water bottle now everywhere I go, even if I'm using the restroom lol and just consciously telling myself drink drink drink!!!

I'm so sorry for you're troubles Nikki, hope you're feeling better and out of there soon. Thinking of you!

Thank you. I'm home now feeling a lot better. I'm going to be forcing my self to drink from now on. Don't want to end up in the ER again. They tested for leaks and eveything came up fine. So just had bags and bags of fluids. So now I just need to say hydrated :-)

      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.
