Anyone else getting sleeved in August?

[kim.cooper 40]

Well I am going home today I am having some major gas issues and having a hard time making it move. They keep telling me to walk but nothing is happening. I am just ready to go home and check with pharmacy to see I can take gas x with the medication they are giving me. Thank everyone for the well wishes.

Hang in there Mocha! I was sleeved same day as you and experienced the same problem. It was so bad that I barely took in anything the next day, plus I was throwing up what I tried to take in! In fact, they didn't want to release me until I could keep stuff down without the nausea meds. I managed to convince them that just getting home would help (who the hell can rest and recover in a hospital??). Surprisingly they agreed, and it has made a world of difference. The nausea is completely gone, pain is minimal, and the gas is much, much better! Keep on walking...it really does help.

Increasing my intake slowly, and not beating myself up for falling a little short at the end of the day...as long as it improves a bit more the next day. Mostly focusing on Fluid intake to avoid dehydration...but once your sleeve "wakes up" and the gas subsides, you'll know when your tiny little tummy wants nourishment. We'll get there!

How are you cooks out there doing ......I was sleeved over a week ago and I still like to cook for family....I taste as I cook...but now I spit it out. My husband thinks its crazy but I'm not taking any chances.

I, ve just cooked my family cottage pie and took some to one side and pureed the mincebeef and peppers in gravy, then added powdered milk to my mashed potatoes n butternut squash( for extra protien) and made my own tiny cottage pie in a little dish, and this will still make me around 6 meals so i, ll freeze it, I think as long as your cooking healthy food you can purree or eat if your past liquids, purree stage its fine cooking for family, unless its not what you can eat , like a fryup lol thats gotta be tough. :-)

Hiya' date=' well I just weighed myself and I've lost 4lbs this week. So that's the 3 I gained plus 1. Something tells me that this is not the infamous 3 week stall and more of a female Fluid retention wobble. However, I am now at 3 weeks, soooooo watch this space.....[/quote']

Awww that's crazy I lost 2 when I checked this morning. I felt like I passed the stall hopefully I can lose more this upcoming week. Hope you can lose some too cheers

Hey everyone! I got my sleeve on Thursday, 08/29. The surgery went well, taking only about an hour. I was able to start sipping on Water that same day. I'm allowed 20ml every 20 minutes. Here, they keep you in the hospital for at least 5 days. So, I'm still here. I finally got to have some broth for dinner and I don't feel so good. I feel a bit nauseated and pressure. I am afraid I had too much. I didn't measure it but I sipped it by the spoonful very slow. I don't know how I will know when I'm full. I felt fine until about 30 minutes after I ate.

Every doctor is different, even different doctors in the same practice. My surgeon's post-op plan is stricter than most & I was on Clear Liquids only for the first week post-op. I'm now in the next phase of clear liquids & 3 Protein Shakes a day for 3 weeks. Then it is on to pureed foods for two weeks, then soft foods for the next two weeks. At week 9 I get to introduce solid foods.

MissVickie-- I did 2 weeks of liquid pre-surgery, and now doing 2 weeks of thin liquid post-surgery. In weeks 3 and 4, I progress to purée. I move to soft foods for weeks 5 and 6. I don't go back to regular food until week 7.

Ask them for Zofran to battle the nausea. It really helps.

Well today is another day and I am still full of gas taking gas-x to help it move slowly. I don't have a way to measure my Water intake and a couple small spoon fulls of oatmeal, applesauce, and a Premier Protein shake. I have walked up and down my block once and can't do anymore because no one is here to go with me. I have been using my heating pad to help to move the gas around. I am already thinking what have I done. But what I know deep in my heart is troubles don't last always!!!!
