Wow! 3 days post-op is so much better than 2 days post-op!



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done Monday morning, and came home on Tuesday. I was feeling pretty miserable both days. Yesterday was better, but I was still having some spasm pains in my stomach whenever I'd try to sip fluids. I think I got down 15 oz yesterday total.

But today? AH-MAZING. Seriously. I feel GREAT! I went and spent the morning at my kid's school for last day celebration, and then we went to the park to play (well, they played and I sat on the bench). My Fluid is going down SO much easier - it's only 1pm and I've already had about 20 oz of Water and 5 oz of Protein shake.

At this rate, I'll be running a half marathon by next week. Just kidding - but really I am super optimistic about my future at the moment. :)

That is an encouraging update. I have mine on June 19th. I hope I can recover just as fast and be up and about, feeling like I want to be up and "running" quickly.

Thanks for your post.

I had my surgery June 3 and I was feeling much the same today as your day 2. I went to the doc for my first post-op appointment and explained that I was having trouble with nausea when I eat so he gave me another med to try. Maybe I'll feel amazing tomorrow :)

3 weeks out now and if I hadn't gone through it I wouldn't have known I had major surgery :D

I too had my sleeve on Monday. I went home on Tuesday. Tuesday was the worst day for me. Wednesday was much better and today has been great. I am having a lot of tummy grumbling today.

      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.
