Just home, surgery was yesterday!



Recommended Posts

Well, I am SLEEVED!!! It honestly doesn't feel much different at all! I did have a hiatal hernia they had to repair, that was very uncomfortable for the first 2 hours after waking up, and the gas felt like something was sitting on my chest, but that has improved with every hour. Walking around and sipping Water to burp was the best relief.

I am home now, on my couch watching TV. I will try to update my video blog journey today to describe more fully the experience and go show my incisions but I am just so thrilled. I'm happy to be a member of the club and I already don't miss my old stomach!

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow. My only issue is my friend's wife had the bypass and had complications. He told my room mate and I think he is concerned he will have to take care of me.

      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.
