48 hours after my sleeve!



Recommended Posts

Hey all, I had my sleeve done 48 hours ago, I came home after about 35 hours, the surgeon and nurses were highly impressed with my recovery so they let me leave.

My biggest problem was all the gas pain it shot up to my shoulders and was quite uncomfortable. I am pleased to say, no gas pain today! My surgeon has given me these small injections to use on my stomach, I have a needle phobia and even with my mum around I still haven't been able to inject myself today.

Apart from that I am so glad I had it done. I feel fine no pain whatsoever and no complaints. I will keep you all updated :)

Congratulations on being sleeved! Glad you're doing so well. Are the injections to prevent blood clots? I had those while I was in the hospital.

I hate Lovenox shots, or I hated them six years ago. Have they gotten any less painful?

I seriously hope I don't have to take them... We'll see when I meet with the hematologist.

Still avoiding those injections,yeah they're to thin the blood and avoid clots.

Thank you for all your messages, I am so pleased I found this.

      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.
