End of 2nd Day Post-Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Well, I made it through. These past few days have been rough, but manageable. To be honest with you, I was completely out of it yesterday. However, I made myself get up as much as possible to walk the halls. This morning was the roughest for me, and think it has to do with the oral pain medication. I have twice; the first was from drinking too fast (it may have been my first foamie?), but the second was definitely related to the medicine. I'm pushing to get as much liquid in as possible, but like so many people have said before, it is tough. I guess I kinda took it for granted. Anyway, the point of all this is to say I made it through two days, and I'm starting to feel a tad bit better. I've got a long way to go, but at least I've finally begun the journey!

Congrats on your surgery!! Im jst 3 weeks out myself. The first week is tough, but honestly everyday is a little better then the day before. It took my at least 5 days to be able to actually drink 16-24 oz of Water. It was painful to swallow. By the second week, it was not bad at all and found I could get in 64 oz. the key s to just take small sips, and try not to get to much air when you swallow! That was and still is my biggest issue! I never realized that when I drink I gulp!

      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.
