Anyone else sleeved Monday may 20



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I was sleeved May 20th in South Jersey.

I'm feeling pretty good. I have to be on a clear liquid diet until my checkup on Tuesday. I'm still working on getting that gas moving and as of last night I have a coating on my tongue and a metallic taste in my mouth. I'm thinking ketosis?

Also from South Jersey. Sleeved 5/22. Feeling pretty good today and I just hope tomorrow is even better!

Hey! Band removal, sleeve revision, & hiatal hernia repair 5/20. Home on Wed....so far doing really well. I think having gone through this post op eating with the band, it isn't so foreign. It ain't great, but in the long run it'll do. Actually had some Greek yogurt yesterday which helped substantially with the gas pains I'd been dealing with. Today I surprised myself and actually walked a mile...took a while, but I did it. Drain removal set for Tue...hope that helps the left shoulder pain I've had today. So, yeah...I'm doing pretty well.

I was sleeved on Monday May 20th in San Antonio and then rode home to CC on Tuesday night. The first 3 days were really tough getting up and down, but each day is getting easier. 6 days out now and starting to feel much more normal. Not hungry but sick of all liquids, ready for some food and different flavors. Back hurts I guess from sleeping on it and maybe some trapped gas too. Decided to stop taking pain mess for now and blessed to not have many problems. I still can't believe I've done this, it was a huge step! I'm so excited to start this new weight loss journey!

I was on May 21st at 7:30 am. Very difficult so far. I'm worried about dehydration. Extreme discomfort.

I was sleeved on May 22 and discharged on May 24, I haven't been able to keep any liquids down. I'm hoping this gets better. The gas hurts really bad. The Fluid seems to stop in my chest! Miserable!!!!!

How do you know when you're full Aly?

I just feel satisfied. It's hard to explain but I listen to my body. My mind needs to catch up to my stomach. It can be a bit challenging mentally.

I was sleeved 5/22 and have been getting so filled up it is hard to get in all fluids. I have only had one small bowel movement this morning. My #1 complaint is my biggest incision site.

I've been fortunate. I have bm twice a day sometimes.

I was sleeved on the 22ND discharged the 23rd admitted the 24th with fever discharged today fever again...

What is causing the fever? How high? Where are you located ? I was sleeved on the 22nd and wasn't discharge till yesterday. They were very thorough. I would be very concerned that they just discharged you. Antibiotics?

I was also sleeved on the 22nd of May! First 3 days was tough for me but like y'all said it gets easier day by day! Funny thing is its memorial and of course all the family get together a revolve around food! Other then that I'm not really hungry. I'm getting all my fluids and Proteins down and Popsicles and tomatoe Soup is saving my but! Down 11 lbs in 5 days! I'm gonna try to hit the gym tomorrow! If I can get back to running 3 miles a day like I did before the surgery the weight should melt off!

I still haven't had a bowl movement. Anyone else?

At the hospital, they said I had good bowl sounds and have been passing some gas, just no bowl movement. I was on a two week pre-op diet of protien shakes and one 300 calorie meal. Two days before surgery I had to clean everything out by taking the laxative, magnesium citrate. Since then I've been on clear fluids, so I just figure there is nothing there to come out, but just wondering if anyone else is the same way.

      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.
