Recommended Posts

I'm having major problems getting in the amount of liquids and today I'm feeling really weak and light headed any pointers to maybe help ? I have only been able to keep down Gatorade Water and popsicles very very small amounts!

Hi,

I had mine on Monday afternoon. So far so good. I had no where near the discomfort like I had getting my Gall Bladder out two years ago. Too bad the Doc could not use the same holes. I'm tyring to get used of the taste of the Protein shakes and forcing myself to drink Water regularlly. I feel every swallow. Yesterday, every swallow required a small "burp" for relief, today not so much. Today, I started on the Vitamins and I have allot of energy back.

I was sleeved on the 20th. It does get better, just gotta hang in there. Get your rest and soon it will be behind us. Today was my worst day since being home. I hardly drank, nausea was setting in once again and all it did was make me worry that I would end up back in the hospital. Tomorrow is a new day and I pray it's a better one. I hope for all of us feeling this way that tomorrow is much better. :)

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I'm much better after walking some more, napping, and passing gas (sorry tmi). Lastly I had a few tsp of Tomato Soup and the pains in my stomach have ceased. I was so worried. You are right thus will get easier!

I was sleeved may 20 and so far everything is going well except for the gas pain. I also experience a sharp pain on my left side after I drink so that's either gas or my body adjusting cause as soon as I get up its gone.

I was sleeved on may 20. I am doing really good! (thank God) had a very easy time! No pain hardly at all! I only took one pain pill when I left the hospital. The only trouble I am having is drinking enough. I am having I assume are gas pains when I try to drink. But other than that Im doing well. Hope things get better for you!

I was sleeved on may 22. Well I was a revision from vbg to vsg. Doing well in keeping my fluids downs and the meals provided. I can't for the life of me drink the horrible shakes. Omg they are horrible. I like the EAS carb control Protein Shakes so I will do those when I get home. The worst part for me was having the NG tube for 3 days and now the drainage bulb on my side. But it's all for good reasons. One day at a time. I'll be glad to be out if the recovery stage and seeing some actual weight loss. How long before we seen some down numbers

      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.
