9 days post sleeve in Texas.



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on Aug 12. Still pretty sore on my right side when moving around. Not so bad when I sit or lay down. Anyone else have this?

That is totally normal. You will have pangs and such occassionally for quite a while as your body adjusts and grows back together. Just don't lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for 6 weeks, and don't do any core or abdominal exercises until your surgeon says you can, and you will be just fine. Best wishes to you!

I had a spot that hurt much longer than the others, but it was where the incision was larger to insert the tube that removed my tummy. There is a good chance that is what it is.

Hi there. I was sleeved on the 12th too. I have that same pain. Asked the dr and they mentioned they had put a stitch to the ab muscle which is why the large incision is "stuck down" looking. They said it will pop in 2-3weeks and then all the pain would be gone. Which I am so looking towards cause it wraps around my whole side and towards my belly button. Just one more thing to work through with this I suppose. :)

      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.
